It's a great day to be from Massachusetts.

From fighting together for education for our babies to the rights of survivors, your service and sisterhood has been a blessing in Congress.

Congratulations @RepKClark, aka Madam Democratic Whip.

I stand in solidarity with rail workers demanding paid sick days, and I'm proud to put forward an amendment with my progressive colleagues to provide just that.

I urge my colleagues to vote yes on the paid sick time amendment on the floor today.

This #Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for my loved ones, my dedicated A-Team, and every #MA7 resident who makes our community so special.

TY to the essential workers & health experts who keep us fed, safe & healthy during these unprecedented times.

What are you thankful for?

The trauma of losing a loved one to gun violence is intergenerational.

My resolution - H. R. 1317 - to designate Nov. 20 to Dec. 20 as “Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month” would establish the Massachusetts-based commemoration federally.

Here’s why this matters.

Today we recognize #TransDayofRemembrance in honor of Rita Hester & all the lives stolen by transphobic violence in the Massachusetts 7th & beyond.

One life lost to transphobia is one too many, and last night’s shooting in Colorado Springs is a dark reminder of the violence faced daily by our LGBTQ+ siblings.

Your life matters & you deserve to feel safe, to find joy, & show up in the world as your full, authentic selves.

We traveled across the #MA7 to help bring food & hope to those in need ahead of Thanksgiving.

I was moved by the hundreds of volunteers—in Dorchester, Cambridge, Randolph & Mattapan—who showed up just because they care.

Thank you to the community-based organizations doing this critical work daily.

Black folks have been disproportionately locked up for marijuana offenses.

Now, we’re being locked out of the growing legal cannabis industry.

We need a cannabis policy that centers equity and the people most impacted by the failed War on Drugs.
