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 Trump administration said Monday it will soon revoke the legal immigration status of more than 70,000 immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua.
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...
Trump’s cruel attempt to withhold funding for our Massachusetts schools is a disgrace. I'll continue to work with our state & local partners & use every tool we have to stand in the gap & fight for our students. Public education is essential & our educators, students & families deserve resources.
Federal money for summer programs, mental health, classroom supplies and more in Massachusetts schools is being withheld by the Trump administration. Federal officials say it is part of an ongoing review: https://www.wcvb.com/article/healey-trump-108m-school-funding-withheld-massachusetts/65317114

Nations are not just governments & regimes—they're people. Mothers, sons, loved ones whose stories echo our own. From Boston to the Middle East, our destinies are tied. We must press for peace, diplomacy, & our shared humanity.
That the Supreme Court would give Trump a green light to continue firing federal workers is shameful. These dedicated employees do essential, lifesaving work that keep us safe and our government functional. I'll keep pushing until every federal worker can continue their work.

I was a congressional aide for 16 years before being elected to Congress. And in that time, I learned the importance of creating and taking up space. I recently joined the Congressional Black Associates and told our dedicated Black Hill staffers: take up space, you all belong everywhere.

Heartbroken for everyone impacted by the catastrophic flooding in Texas, including those who've lost & are still searching for loved ones. And I'm grateful for the work of our dedicated first responders. My team and I stand ready to support any impacted families from the #MA7.
To have known Sarah-Ann was to love her, and I’m grateful for her family, @mayorwu.boston.gov, @bpl.boston.gov, & for those who advocated for this library renaming as a powerful tribute to her mark on our home. May her legacy be forever honored in Roxbury.

A trailblazing, beloved, & proud daughter of Roxbury, Sarah-Ann Shaw dedicated her life to educating & empowering the City of Boston by unapologetically telling our stories, shattering concrete ceilings & mentoring other Black journalists. www.boston.com/news/local-n...
