Last month @SecScottBessent told me a tariff exemption on essential baby products was under consideration.

No exemption has been announced & the cost of these goods have risen thanks to Trump’s chaotic tariffs.

We’re demanding action NOW because our families need this relief.

This cruel, political, and unjust ruling is absolutely damning.

The court is going to rob patients & mothers of their lives and put essential healthcare further out of reach for millions.

The legal tactics against @RepLaMonica are nothing more than a smear campaign to silence an honorable, duly elected Black Congresswoman.

But it won’t work.

We will continue standing with Congresswoman McIver & against Trump’s attempts to publish Members for conducting oversight and doing their jobs.

Storytelling is powerful.

It guides our abortion justice movement and sets the frame for how deep our policies should go.

Three years since Dobbs, we joined @RepMcClellan to hear directly from people impacted by cruel abortion bans and denials of essential medical care.

3 years ago, the SCOTUS ripped away our right to bodily autonomy, and the fallout has been devastating.

Now, we face a hostile Administration doubling down on ripping away essential healthcare from millions.

This unjust status quo is not an inevitability.

Today, we recommit to building a just America where abortion justice is realized and everyone can get the care they need in their own community.

My full statement:

Trump and Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill wouldn’t just slash Medicaid and food assistance for millions of people—it is also a brazen attack on reproductive healthcare and a backdoor abortion ban, even for safe-haven states like Massachusetts.

This bill would defund Planned Parenthood health centers, bar private health insurers on the ACA marketplace from offering abortion coverage, and slash Medicaid health care coverage — leaving over 300,000 Massachusetts residents unable to access basic health care services.

Let me say that again: this would mean that even in states like Massachusetts where abortion care is protected, folks who get their coverage through the Affordable Care Act could lose access to abortion care. This is a back-door nationwide abortion ban, plain and simple.

And the cruelty is truly the point.

As we begin to mark three years since the Supreme Court ripped away the basic right to abortion care in America, I stood with @RepKClark, @SenWarren, and @RepLoriTrahan in proud solidarity with Planned Parenthood in the fight to stop Republicans’ latest attack on reproductive freedom.

Planned Parenthood clinics are quite literally saving lives – often the only option for miles for life saving cancer screenings, affordable birth control, & compassionate prenatal care.

As a college student, I went to Planned Parenthood and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Later, as a survivor of campus sexual assault, I returned to Planned Parenthood for counseling and STI testing. So this is deeply personal to me.

We must keep fighting for families across this country to access the basic medical care they need to survive, to be safe in birth, to be treated with human dignity.

And that starts by defeating Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill that puts necessary health care further out of reach for millions of people.
