This week I met with IBEW Local 1505 members to discuss how we can continue to drive the creation of good-paying jobs that help Massachusetts residents support their families.

As the daughter of an ironworker, I'll always stand with our unions.

Let me get this straight. Instead of protecting our kids from the obvious dangers posed by AI, Trump is going to try to block all state laws that have been passed to limit the harms of this emerging technology.

This is a handout to Big Tech.

This is what happens when talent, hard work, and determination come together. Congratulations, Hillies!

Although he initially opposed the legislation, I'm glad that Donald Trump signed the bill to release the Epstein files into law.

Jeffrey Epstein's victims asked for this, and they're getting the justice they're owed.

I’m all for getting rid of wasteful government spending. What I have an issue with is broad, careless cuts that hurt our communities and undermine the vital work of organizations across our region.

We’re feeling far too much of those cruel cuts here in Massachusetts.

When people ask me why I care so much about the future of Market Basket, this is why.

For decades, Market Basket & Artie Demoulas built their reputation on making sure families could get the groceries they need at a price they can afford – and have great customer service in the process.

There's no way to spin this – more Americans are losing their jobs as prices continue to climb. It's time for Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington to work with Democrats to deliver real relief for hardworking families.

As winter approaches and energy costs rise, families are counting on home heating assistance funds to stay warm.

The Trump administration must release the approved LIHEAP funds to help folks here in Massachusetts and across our country.

Trump knew his reckless tariffs would send grocery prices soaring, but he did it anyway.
 
Now, with families pushed to the brink, he’s flip-flopping. But relief won’t come for months.
 
This never should’ve happened.

The shutdown is over, but the crisis Republicans created isn’t. Premiums are about to spike, and the GOP still has no health care plan.

Families can’t keep waiting around – we need action now to lower costs and keep folks covered.
With enhanced health care subsidies set to expire, Trump again wants to replace Obamacare. He still doesn’t have a plan. - The Boston Globe
The inability of Republicans to produce a comprehensive proposal further complicates the effort to address the subsidies before they expire on Dec. 31.

It’s been 10 months since Trump took office, and he still refuses to release the Epstein files.

Today, the House votes to force their release. I will vote YES.

When Trump says people are lying about higher costs, he’s either delusional or deceptive.

Hardworking families are struggling to pay for groceries, rent, insurance and utilities – let alone a hospital bill.

You can't lie to the American people.

Housing is the number one driver of unaffordability in Massachusetts. It makes no sense for Donald Trump to make it even harder to build more housing and drive down costs for families.

We should be investing in more housing, not cutting the support people need to keep a roof over their heads.

With families already facing rising energy costs, it’s critical they have the support they need to keep their homes safe & warm this winter.

Today I partnered with @repraulruizmd.bsky.social to demand that the Trump administration release all available LIHEAP funding for folks in need.

Open enrollment is here, and folks are quickly realizing they cannot afford the Republican health care price hike.

Trump gutted Medicaid and undermined the ACA – and now costs are soaring.

Republicans in Congress need to work with us to lower costs for families.
