This morning’s commute was anything but ordinary, Penelope and I joined the neighborhood bike bus to school! 🚲 Big thank you to our neighbor Alan for leading the way and keeping the wheels (and the good vibes) rolling.

Our communities deserve to know what’s happening to our detainees—where they’re going, why they’re being taken, and what the real motives are. This isn’t just about targeting “criminals.” They’re coming after everyone, and we won’t stay silent. #DemandTransparency #ProtectOurCommunities

For two years, I handled Social Security casework for an entire congressional district, helping seniors, people with disabilities, and hardworking Americans get the benefits they earned. I’ve seen firsthand how vital Social Security is—and I know the threats it’s facing.

Today, we joined the residents to announce a $10 million investment from the City of Boston to make all 347 units permanently affordable. During a time of high rent prices, this is groundbreaking as we are ensuring hundreds of residents in Mattapan can continue to call Boston their home.

Today was a emotional day as we stood in front of Boston City Hall and stood together in support of our immigrant communities as our mayor defended our city. The amount of people that turned out and the messages that we heard truly solidified that Boston continues to be on the right side of history.
