The workers at HHS are confirming what we've long known: Sec. Kennedy's complacency to Trump & spreading misinformation is dangerous for our nation's public health. The letter makes it plain: He’s been complicit in dismantling America's public health infrastructure. abcnews.go.com/Health/750-h...
Trump wants to “review” the 55 million people in this country who hold a visa. The 55 million people who call this country home & bring their gifts to our communities. We know what he really means — he wants to continue his wholesale harm, sow fear in our communities, & target our most vulnerable.
BREAKING: The Trump administration says it's reviewing all 55 million people with U.S. visas for potential deportable violations.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a father & Maryland community member, was abducted by ICE in front of his child & unjustly sent to a prison in El Salvador before being shipped to a US detention center. Kilmar’s return to his family is long overdue & his right to due process must be protected in court.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been freed from a Tennessee jail so he can rejoin his family in Maryland while awaiting trial.
Though overdue, the DOJ has shared a partial production of the Epstein files in response to our subpoena. We’re reviewing this batch of files with a careful, close eye. We will not cease in our pursuit of the truth & transparency, accountability, and healing for survivors.
We choose community over chaos. Grateful to everyone that came by our Coffee with the Congresswoman in Cambridge to discuss critical policy issues & how we support our neighbors. Thank you Mayor Denise Simmons & Cambridge Community Center for hosting us!

Boston is a safe, welcoming, & vibrant city. This authoritarian Administration doesn't care about safety — they only care to divide, fear monger, & target vulnerable people. But we won't let them, and we'll always treat our neighbors with the humanity they deserve.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
Fare-free transit gives commuters the chance to traverse their community without having to worry about cost. Our Freedom to Move Act pushes for more fare-free transit funds to eliminate financial barriers, connect communities, & help folks take advantage of the things that make the #MA7 a model.

The Shield Act expansion takes a critical step to defend bodily autonomy as Trump & Republicans attempt to restrict essential healthcare. Grateful to @massgovernor.bsky.social, state leaders, & reproductive justice advocates for fighting for the care & dignity of our patients & providers.
When Roe was overturned, we didn’t hesitate to protect patients and providers. Today, we took those protections to the next level. Grateful to the Legislature and advocates who got the Shield Act 2.0 to my desk. No one will prevent the people of Massachusetts from getting the care they need.

Every worker should expect safety, dignity, and respect on and off the job. But institutions have long shielded sexual abusers and silenced survivors. Our bill is a critical step towards protecting workers and ensuring accountability for sexual discrimination, harassment, and abuse.
Pleased to team up with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov and @pressley.house.gov to reintroduce legislation that combats sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. We’re fighting for protections, transparency, and accountability for workers and the public.
Picture of the Capitol with text overlayed. At the top, text inside a box reads, "REPS TED LIEU, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, AND AYANNA PRESSLEY INTRODUCE" Below the box is additional yellow-highlighted text that says, "PROTECTIONS AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE WORKPLACE ACT"
If we are to hold powerful people to account, we must center the voices they tried to silence. I'm leading @oversightdemocrats.house.gov in calling on Congressman James Comer to allow survivors of Epstein's abuse the opportunity to testify before Congress, if they wish.

Our interns play a critical role in supporting our office as we fight for a more just, equitable Massachusetts 7th and country. A special thank you to Mercy, Claudia, and Caydon for their incredible work this summer session.

My heart goes out to the people of Cabo Verde impacted by the overwhelming rainfall and flooding brought by Tropical Storm Erin. Many Cabo Verdeans call the #MA7 their home and I stand with our community members and their loved ones that are harmed by this tragedy.
The Israeli government is deliberately blocking aid from entering Gaza. This is nothing short of a genocide, creating a man-made famine crisis to starve children and families. The US must use every tool available to urgently get critical aid into Gaza.

90 years ago today, Social Security became the law of the land. 9 decades later, and Republicans are cutting benefits, raising the retirement age, & handing seniors hard-earned money to Wall Street. Our elders deserve to retire in dignity & receive their earnings in full.
