Mario Umana Academy in East Boston is a community anchor for all who call the school & neighborhood their home. I recently sat down with school leadership & students to discuss how we can continue making this academy a place of safety, learning, & liberation for every student.

Housing. Paid leave. Healthcare. Student debt. Just a few of the many issues Trump should be focused on tackling for the American people. Instead, he's spending at least $2 billion a day on a reckless, unauthorized war that's harming our service members & civilians alike. Shameful.

Our Haitian neighbors are deeply rooted in our communities and essential to our economy. And terminating TPS for Haiti would be devastating & destabilizing, especially in Boston. That's why we're fighting hard to extend Haiti TPS and we're closer than ever to getting it done.

Boston could face immediate consequences if TPS ends for Haitians, officials warn - The Boston Globe

The city is home to 3,700 TPS-protected Haitians, who are a major part of the workforce, city councilors said Thursday.

40% of households in MA are food insecure—a damning statistic made worse by Trump & Republicans' cuts to food assistance programs. Thank you Greater Boston Food Bank and Mass General Brigham for spotlighting this crisis and equipping us with the data we need to end hunger once and for all.

These numbers are damning. Families were already being crushed by Trump's tariffs, and now his reckless war is costing folks more than ever on groceries, gas, & electric bills. Trump is attacking everyone & everything but the affordability crisis, and the people deserve better.

For every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men, AANHPI women earn about 83¢. It's time we close the glaring racial and gender wage gaps that burden our families & continue to fight for fair wages, opportunity & equality for all workers. #AANHPIEqualPayDay

I’ve been calling for a public hearing with survivors for nearly a year. They deserve answers, accountability, & healing. I hope Melania talks to Chairman Comer and Trump to make this happen. Survivors have waited long enough.

A tweet by Julia Manchester, White House Correspondent for The Hill, that reads: MELANIA TRUMP: "I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors."

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked Democrats' war powers resolution to end Trump's Iran war. This reckless, unauthorized war has taken the lives of servicemembers, thousands of civilians abroad, & it's costing families here at home. And Republicans continue to be complicit.

Through book bans, Republicans are censoring Black, queer & marginalized authors and denying us the freedom to learn. My Books Save Lives Act would confront book bans & ensure inclusive learning environments. Proud to visit All She Wrote Books in Somerville to introduce this bill.

For a ceasefire to hold, the US must act to halt war crimes in Lebanon. The Israeli govt has killed more than 1,500 Lebanese civilians & displaced one-fifth of their population. This war is impacting the region & the globe, & it'll never end if Trump allows Netanyahu to continue attacking Lebanon.

Pam Bondi is trying to escape accountability for covering up the Epstein files and protecting predators like Trump. She must testify whether she is AG or not. And if she doesn't, we'll hold her in criminal contempt. Survivors deserve better.

Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general, the Department of Justice said. https://cnn.it/4sx00YM

Deeply relieved that the bombs will stop—for now. But threatening the destruction of an entire civilization has repercussions. Republicans must call Congress back NOW, pass a war powers resolution, & stop this unauthorized war. And Trump must be removed from office immediately.

My Books Save Lives Act makes it clear: discriminatory book bans are a violation of federal civil rights law. I held a read-in at All She Wrote Books in Somerville to announce this bill to fight book bans and emphasize the importance of inclusive literature.

This is a horrifying threat of genocidal war crimes. The lives of civilians and service members alike are at stake here. Congress must stop this war and remove Trump from the White House.

Trump's reckless, unauthorized war in Iran is another betrayal of the American people.

Trump is attacking everyone and everything except the affordability crisis. And now, with his unlawful Iran war & reckless tariff policies, folks in Massachusetts and across the country are paying the price. The people deserve better.

A graphic that reads: Last month, Massachusetts drivers spent $137,844,516 more on gas than before Trump's war on Iran.

Bills don't stop. People work hard for their paycheck. And they deserve to be able to access it quickly. That's why I fought hard to help create FedNow, a real-time payments system at the Fed that helps people get their money faster and keep up with their bills.

We have an unprecedented housing crisis that requires all hands on deck. That’s why I’m grateful for orgs like the All Bright Community Center who do incredible work supporting our neighbors in Allston-Brighton. I stopped by to speak with their staff & residents to learn about the work they do.
