The reports coming out of ICE field offices are deeply concerning. So is the fact that ICE is trying to keep those horrific conditions hidden from the American people.

We’re sounding the alarm.

ICE’s abuse of power has to end.

Republicans' cruel, callous, and morally bankrupt bill is a shameful betrayal of our shared humanity.

This is a somber day, but this fight isn't over.

My full statement.
“Today, under the cover of night, House Republicans rammed through a cruel, callous, and morally bankrupt bill that would gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, and kick 14 million people off their healthcare—all to shower toy spaceship billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk with hundreds of billions more in tax giveaways. This legislation would make communities in the Massachusetts 7th and across the country poorer, sicker, hungrier, and more vulnerable. “This bill would rip food out of the mouths of families already struggling to put meals on the table. It would decimate healthcare in America and worsen our maternal health crisis. It would gut mental health funding under SAMHSA and cut cancer research, putting lives at risk and turning its back on people struggling with addiction, mental health crises, cancer diagnoses, and much, much more. “This bill is a shameful betrayal of our shared humanity. I urge the Senate to stand with the people and reject this heinous legislation. This is a somber day, but this fight is not over.”
