Today is the final day of the Supreme Court’s stay in the mifepristone case. Mifepristone is safe, effective and must remain accessible. SCOTUS must uphold the law and permanently restore access to this essential medication.
🚨Today is the final day of #SCOTUS' stay in Louisiana v. FDA. As we watch for updates, catch up on this case and its implications for medication abortion access 👇
Dealing with confusion or whiplash? We don't blame you. Anti-abortion politicians & activists in Louisiana are challenging the @US_FDA rules for dispensing abortion medication. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s happening with mifepristone—and why it matters. 🧵
We held our first event to celebrate our submissions for the Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to Charlotte, whose artwork ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ will be displayed in the Capitol. To our students artists: your art & perspective matters. Never shrink that truth.

The frequency of floods in Boston has tripled in the past few decades. And this environmental justice crisis has only worsened with Trump & Republicans dismantling FEMA & climate resilience programs. That’s why Congress must ensure families can afford flood insurance & receive disaster support.
Donald Trump’s tariffs are unlawful, unpopular, and unproductive. Trump must end these tariffs, which are making everything more expensive for workers, families, and small businesses.
Breaking news: A federal court delivered a new blow to President Trump’s effort to impose widespread tariffs, ruling against the levies the president imposed after the February Supreme Court decision that eliminated most of his emergency import taxes.
Happy Small Business Week! Small businesses are the backbone of our community & economy. But unfortunately, many are struggling. I toured several small businesses in the #MA7 to hear directly from them, and what I learned will inform my legislative & budgetary work in Congress.
And we know why. This Administration is traumatizing our children, neglecting medical care, putting pregnant detainees in harm's way, & killing our neighbors. And they want to do it with zero accountability.
While we fight in Congress to defend our Haitian neighbors, I'm grateful for the partnership of IFSI-USA & Councilor Louijeune who do this work daily in the #MA7. Proud to join them during Haitian Heritage Month to celebrate the progress we've made to extend TPS for Haiti & prep for the work ahead.

With the $210 BILLION Republicans want to give ICE & CBP for their campaign of terror, we could: Extend healthcare tax credits Reverse SNAP cuts Fund Head Start Expand housing assistance Fund free universal preschool Fund free school lunches & more We must invest in our people.
@replamonica.bsky.social embodies the strength, courage, and grace her constituents deserve and that this moment demands. We won't stand by while Donald Trump attacks this duly-elected Black Congresswoman and tries to silence her for doing her job. We've got your back, sis💜

Families are struggling to pay for gas, groceries, & healthcare thanks to Trump's tariffs, reckless Iran war, and cuts to healthcare programs. Now, Republicans want taxpayers to spend $1 BILLION on a lavish ballroom for his family & billionaire friends. Shameful.
An NBC News article titled: Republicans propose $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to secure Trump ballroom.

The Israeli military illegally attacked a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza & abducted at least 175 civilians, including US citizens. This is a violation of international law. I joined Rep. Rashida Tlaib demanding an end to the blockade on Gaza & protection for civilians providing aid.
A tweet by Rep. Tlaib that reads: I'm leading a letter to the Trump Admin about the illegal Israeli military attack on the Flotilla and the abduction of civilians, including Americans, heading to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. We are demanding an end to the blockade on Gaza and the release of the two remaining captives.

While Trump & his co-conspirators continue their all-out assault on our fundamental rights, we’re calling on SCOTUS to uphold the law and preserve access to medication abortion. Our amicus brief makes it plain: mifepristone is safe, effective, & must remain accessible.
