IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti.
This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors.
To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you.
The Senate must pick this up without delay.

In the face of authoritarianism & fascism, we cannot be complacent.
We must be vigilant & proactive, because everyone has a role to play.
Grateful to spend the day celebrating Black freedom at the Hyde Park Juneteenth Joy Celebration.

I'm proud to represent the third largest Haitian diaspora in the country.
It's great to have the Haiti National Football Team in Massachusetts and in the FIFA World Cup.
Best of luck to them on the field today as they return to the World Cup after 52 years.

🚨This harrowing reporting should alarm everyone.
Donald Trump changed the Situation Room to the Epstein War Room to have his Administration continue their cover-up.
But we won't stop until survivors get the transparency & accountability they're owed.

Our foster youth are brilliant, resilient, & end up doing incredible things.
Like Eric whose work now focuses on family preservation, early intervention, & stronger support for youth in foster care.
Eric, thank you for the work you do and for meeting with me in Washington.

Every reader should have access to books that reflect diverse lived experiences.
Grateful the Mass. State House has taken action to fight back discriminatory book bans in our libraries & honor the brilliance of our authors & illustrators.
TY Rep. John Moran for your leadership on this.

As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, the next 250 years cannot look like the last.
The next 250 years must be about repair.
That’s why we’re calling on Congress to meet this moment with the urgency it demands & advance our Reparative Justice Agenda without delay.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley retweeted
Six decades of progress for birth control rights and access, yet the right to contraception is still not signed into law.
The House passed this critical bill in 2022, and House Democrats are demanding we pass it again.
Republican colleagues: join us and stand with the people.

The inequities we face today are not accidental.
They are direct results of this nation’s systems designed to exclude, exploit, & harm communities.
That’s why I’m joining advocates to call on Congress to help build a future grounded in repair. Tune in:

Republicans made people hungrier & sicker by kicking them off their food assistance & healthcare.
And now, Speaker Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: they're coming after Social Security.
They want our families worse off while doing nothing to address affordability.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Donald Trump's failed policies hurt our economy.
He is attacking everything & everyone except the affordability crisis. And the recent inflation surge is proof of that.

Republicans are complicit in the abuse, negligence, & trauma of our children.
Like Susej, a young girl who was caged at Dilley & left burdened with trauma that was never hers to carry.
That is the human cost of Republicans’ harmful policy choices & why we must close Dilley.

Teenagers, toddlers, & babies have been abducted & taken to Dilley.
And Republican & their private prison corporation friends are profiting from the pain of child abuse, child neglect, & childhood trauma.
We must close Dilley & end this state-inflicted trauma.

SHAMEFUL: Republicans in Congress just passed $70 BILLION DOLLARS for ICE to continue its campaign of terror with no accountability or reforms.
I voted no & my stance remains the same.
Abolish ICE.
Reunite families.
End qualified immunity.
Close the inhumane detention camps.

Our immigrant neighbors bring beauty, joy, & strength to our communities.
This National Immigrant Heritage Month, I’m honoring the rich cultures, sweat equity, & contributions of our immigrant families.
And I’ll continue fighting for their rights—because their home is here.

61 years ago, Griswold v. Connecticut made clear that accessing birth control was essential and the law of the land.
That's why as @ReproCaucus Co-Chair, I'm fighting Republicans' attacks on our bodily autonomy & affirming reproductive health care as the human right that it is.

Full investigations for each loved one killed by ICE agents or their negligence while in custody is the bare minimum.
But ICE is trying to end their death reporting policy to cover their tracks.
Our DHS Use of Force Transparency Act will bring accountability to families whose loved ones have been murdered by ICE agents.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is ending its policy of reporting deaths of recently released detainees, the Department of Homeland Security said – a policy change that comes amid increasing scrutiny over the deaths of immigrants in federal custody. cnn.com/2026/06/05/us/ice-de…

Proud to represent one of the most diverse Caribbean constituencies in the US & lead policies to support our Caribbean American communities, like defending Haiti TPS.
This Caribbean American Heritage Month, we celebrate our Caribbean American neighbors who call the #MA7 home.

Adrian lives with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare medical condition that requires specific treatment & care.
But thanks to @BostonChildrens Hospital, he’s receiving the exceptional, compassionate care he deserves that supports his immediate needs & long-term care.
Medicaid coverage has been essential to his care.
It helps ensure consistent access to the therapies, medications, equipment, & supports he depends on to thrive.
That’s why I’m fighting for budgets & policies that fund healthcare & research funding, because the lives of kids like Adrian depend on it.
I was happy to meet Adrian & his family, as he continues to advocate with confidence for his livelihood & the livelihoods of so many kids like him.

20-year-old Sama Safi is a U.S. citizen, honor student, & beloved by everyone who knows her.
Two days ago, IDF soldiers raided her home, terrorized her family, & detained her without charges.
The US must secure her release & demand accountability from the Israeli government.
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.
The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.
America must secure her release NOW.
