"The Community Safety Agenda is born out of a movement. A movement that has long pushed our nation to center the dignity and humanity of all people—that is unrelenting, unwavering, and unafraid in our pursuit to challenge racist, ablest systems of oppression and inequity." @pressley.house.gov

The CFPB was created to protect consumers & prevent another financial crisis like the one in 2008. It has since returned $21B to victims of predatory financial practices. By gutting the CFPB & Dodd-Frank, the GOP are prioritizing big bank profits over the wellbeing of everyday people.

Let's call this what it is: human trafficking. Trump wants to kidnap families off our streets, strip them of due process, and ship them to countries they have no correlation to. This is dangerous, cruel, and will shamefully put vulnerable people in harm's way.

A memo reveals the federal government is planning to deport immigrants to countries where they hold no citizenship, with as little as six hours’ notice and without any guarantees that they’ll be protected from torture or persecution when they get there.

This inflation data is damning confirmation of what we've known: Trump is attacking everyone and everything EXCEPT the cost of living. And his reckless tariff war is harming families across this country.

U.S. consumer prices accelerated in June, rising 2.7% from a year earlier, as President Trump's tariffs started to leave a bigger imprint on the economy. Read more: https://trib.al/OiJi4hQ

I’m heartbroken for the 9 people who lost their lives in the fire at the Gabriel House in Fall River. I pray for the victims, their families, and everyone impacted. And I'm grateful for the dedicated first responders who saved dozens as the fire spread throughout the night. abcnews.link/IAgfpML

With this ruling, the Supreme Court is now complicit in Trump's lawless assault on students, parents, and educators. And this will only further undermine public education, threaten civil rights, and harm our most vulnerable. The shame and the sham of it all.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court is allowing President Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and lay off nearly 1,400 employees.

Sayfollah Musallet should be alive today. Instead, he was beaten to death in the West Bank by Israeli settlers, the second American killed there this year. The State Department must lead an immediate investigation and root out settler violence once and for all. There must be accountability.

The state of our reparations movement is strong, and in this moment of heightened anti-Blackness, we are more resolved than ever. In the last legislative session, I held a staff briefing to discuss #HR40Reparations & how we can keep pushing to get this bill over the finish line.

This is what happens when Trump and DOGE gut the agency that helps millions of people with their Social Security benefits. Longer wait times. Less customer service. A crashing website. We can't allow Republicans to continue dismantling our government. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We cannot allow AI to go unchecked, unregulated, and be the latest chapter in America's history of exploiting marginalized groups. That’s why we must invest in an approach rooted in equity that protects the rights of everyone.

Our interns do incredible work and keep our offices running — taking constituent calls, sorting mail, conducting tours, researching, and so much more. I'm grateful for Grace, Diana, Bella, and Kristina’s service to the #MA7 and our democracy this past spring session.

Since Dobbs, abortion bans have cost folks' their lives, worsened the Black maternal health crisis & pushed essential care out of reach. Now Republicans are gutting Medicaid, defunding Planned Parenthood & moving us closer to a nationwide abortion ban. The cruelty is the point.

Revoking TPS for over 70,000 Honduran & Nicaraguan immigrants and sending them into unsafe humanitarian crises is unconscionable. These are real people who have built families & strengthened our communities. People’s lives are at stake & Trump is using them to meet a quota. This is unacceptable.

The I-90 project is an opportunity to address decades of harm, reconnect neighborhoods, and build the accessible and safe transit infrastructure that Allston Brighton residents deserve. We fought hard to deliver these funds and we cannot allow extremist Republicans to rip it away.

Trump's Big, Ugly Bill is threatening the I-90 project, the most transformational and community-driven project our Commonwealth has seen in generations. This is disgraceful and it's a direct assault on the communities who depend on it. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/08/m...
