I’ve recently joined Substack to cut through the noise & update you on how I’m fighting back against this callous & harmful administration.

Thousands of dedicated federal workers have been unlawfully fired by Donald Trump & Elon Musk.
We won’t stop pushing until all of our federal workers are reinstated and made whole with the dignity & respect they deserve.
This Minority Health Awareness Month, I took to the House floor to call out how Trump’s White House is making communities of color more vulnerable.
Our greatest wealth as a nation is the health of our people — and Black health matters.
In this moment of anti-Blackness on steroids, we’re not backing down in our pursuit of racial justice.
Proud to join @RepSummerLee’s resolution to demand #ReparationsNOW.
Reproductive justice & disability justice are inextricably linked.
With Republicans attacking Medicaid and reproductive freedom, I’m reintroducing our resolution affirming equitable access to reproductive care for people with disabilities.
Dr. Hailey Evans (@youve.got.hails) is a neonatologist and one of my constituents from Jamaica Plain.
She recently wrote to my office about the devastating impacts Republican Medicaid cuts would have for our postpartum patients and babies in the #MA7 and nationwide.
For Dr. Evans, these cuts would harm the patients she cares for, their families, and create large disruptions in finances for hospitals like hers that care for critically ill newborns.
“My patients deserve a well-funded Medicaid program,” she said.
In Massachusetts, Medicaid covers 39% of all children and pays for 32% of all births. The drastic cuts to Medicaid under Trump and Republicans’ bill would undermine Dr. Evans and her colleagues’ ability to care for these infants and leave them ill-served.
In her words, “Medicaid is fundamental to children’s health and incredibly important for the babies in our state and district.”
This essential program has helped us reduce maternal mortality, improve access to healthcare for our most vulnerable, and give families with premature babies a fighting chance.
That`s one of many reasons I voted against this harmful bill when it came before the House of Representatives. And that`s why the Senate must protect Medicaid, reject these devastating cuts and protect our families.
Medicaid is healthcare. SNAP is food assistance.
Both are lifelines and we’re not done fighting for them.
The Senate must reject Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill and protect our families.
Memorial Day is more than a kick start to summer or an excuse to barbecue.
It’s a day of solemn remembrance for those who never returned home.
To our fallen servicemembers and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
It’s been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered & our communities are still plagued by mass incarceration, police brutality, & overcriminalization.
That’s why I’m reintroducing bold legislation to continue our push toward accountability, healing, & our collective liberation.
