Proudly serving the Massachusetts 7th.
Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs.
And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase.
His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table.
Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families.
Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more.
A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

No family should endure the trauma of gun violence, especially so close to Thanksgiving.

To deport 350,000 of our neighbors back there is unconscionable & could be a death sentence.

I’ve long championed Baby Bonds as an investment in our kids' future and a tool to close the wealth gap.
When the Admin issues guidance on Trump Accounts, equity must be the goal.
That’s why I’m calling on Secretary Scott Bessent to ensure our most vulnerable families aren't ignored.

Remember, this is not just about sticking it to Trump or seeing how Republicans voted. This about real people. I was in a meeting with Rep Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) today and she said the survivors told her “we are the Epstein Files and we want to be released.” THAT’S what this is about.
