Happy Freedom Day, #MA7!
No better place than community to mark Juneteenth and celebrate Black joy, Black history, and Black emancipation.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black joy, Black history, Black brilliance, and Black emancipation.
We honor our ancestors whose resistance and sacrifice made this day possible, and we thank today’s freedom fighters who carry forward their legacy.
Swipe to learn more about the holiday, how we got here, and how we can legislate to realize our collective liberation.
In Chelsea, our immigrant neighbors are being terrorized by Trump & ICE, and families are living in fear.
We held a town hall there to affirm that an attack on our immigrant community is an attack on all of us.
And we’ll keep fighting to support them at every level of government.
Adriana Smith should be here today. Her voice trusted, her medical crisis treated, her life saved, her dignity honored. But instead, her body was made an incubator for months following her death, her family denied the right to make personal medical decisions.
A Georgia abortion ban denied her basic medical care and robbed her of her dignity. I am heartbroken. I send my deepest condolences to her family as they navigate their grief and finally lay Adriana to rest, and I am holding her sons in my heart.
In Adriana’s name, we press for true reproductive freedom and a just America for Black mothers and their babies.
Genetic data is among the most intimate and sensitive personal information to exist, but 23andMe are failing in their responsibility to protect it.
That’s why myself, @rep.elicrane, @repdavemin, and @repericburlison are calling on them to ensure they get consumers’ consent before including this data in any bankruptcy sale.
Congrats to my constituent, Nathan, whose piece ‘The Cary House in Rising Spring’ won the #MA7 2025 Congressional Art Competition.
As a Chelsea High School student, Nathan wanted to showcase the beauty in Chelsea to challenge the negative connotations & stigma that surrounds it.
Because Trump is losing in the courts, Republicans are trying to change the rules to rig the system.
Tucked in the Big, Ugly bill is a provision that would restrict judiciary contempt proceedings from enforcing court orders & holding Admin. officials accountable.
This is textbook authoritarianism.
Layla is a thriving 3-year-old who lives with a rare liver disease.
She had a successful liver transplant in Boston but will need immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of her life that are paid for by Medicaid.
I shudder to think what would happen to her if Republicans gut Medicaid. But one thing is for sure: families like hers would go bankrupt trying to do everything to keep their babies alive.
The Senate must reject Trump’s big ugly bill that will rip medical care from our babies, elders, & most vulnerable.
The targeted shootings of Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman, Rep. Melissa Hortman and their spouses - and the tragic deaths of Rep. Hortman and her husband—are horrifying.
Violence is unacceptable, no matter our differences, & must always be condemned.
I grieve for the victims and my heart goes out to their loving families, dedicated staff, and the communities who elected them to serve.
