Paid leave for all is popular & necessary public policy.
And I am grateful to the @PaidLeaveforAll coalition, @GlamourMag, & everyone who shared their stories & joined us for a day of action.
Congress must act on this for our caregivers & families.

I was my mother’s caregiver during her battle with leukemia.
I can’t imagine the heartbreak of losing the job I loved while also losing a parent who loved me so deeply — but that’s the reality for far too many.
We must pass @PaidLeaveforAll & build a just America that cares for our people.

While we fight to #PassPaidLeave, let me hear from you:
What has no paid leave cost you or your family?

Black women earn 66 cents for every $1 paid to white men.
The wage gap isn’t just a number—it’s a damning economic injustice.
On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we continue our fight to close the pay gap and build an economy that pays us what we’re owed.

To my Alopecia siblings:
Your voice is powerful, your stories are impactful, and your advocacy will change and save lives.
I was glad to surprise my Alopecia family at the @NAAFoundation_ legislative conference and remind them of just that.

Project Labor Agreements open doors for women, people of color, and veterans to enter the trades.
And they help ensure construction projects finish on time and on budget.
I’m proud Massachusetts is leading the way and using PLAs to advance racial and economic justice.

Big banks take annual stress tests to make sure they won’t crash our economy.
But Republicans want to undermine those tests to help banks game the system.
We need meaningful and stringent stress tests for a safer and more stable financial system.

No one should fear for their life anywhere, including at a political rally.
Condemning this brazen act of violence in the strongest terms and praying for everyone impacted.
Our existing payments infrastructure needs modernization.
That's why we've asked the @FederalReserve to expand the operating days & hours of interbank settlement services to support customers.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Extremist Republicans voted to gut Title IX this week.
They want to restrict @usedgov's ability to protect LGBTQ+, pregnant, and parenting students & reinstate Trump-era rules that seriously disadvantage survivors.
When they show you who they are, believe them.
This award is a testament to my outstanding team in Boston & DC who care deeply about our constituents who call the #MA7 home.
We look forward to continuing to build meaningful relationships with folks from every corner of our district & work hard to deliver for our communities.
