Our federal workers here in Boston & across the country have been left out in the cold. Overnight, they’ve had their livelihoods torn away. Trump is proving he doesn’t care about our workers, but I will never stop fighting for you. CivilServiceStrong.org youtube.com/shorts/2T8SU...

🚨Musk & Trump continue to break the law & recklessly harm workers as they try to destroy the federal government. Federal workers can report any wrongdoing by Trump, DOGE, or any admin official & be protected from whistleblower retaliation under US law. If you're a federal worker, #KnowYourRights.

Trump and Republicans are continuing the years-long effort to attack civil rights & dismantle any policy that uplifts Black folks. Our #HR40Reparations bill would push back and help America address the legacy of slavery and its shameful history of systemic racism. youtube.com/shorts/EIxRF...

They’re coming after funding. They’re coming after education. They’re coming after our data & payments. They’re coming after workers that don’t comply. Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to pillage our democracy to make themselves rich. But we won't let them.

Nearly 1.6 million Massachusetts residents use Medicaid. Yet, Republicans want to gut the program & attack the Affordable Care Act so they can give trillions in tax breaks to their billionaire friends. This is Trump’s Project 2025 in action.

Today, we remember the 17 lives stolen at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. We must treat gun violence as the public health crisis that it is and legislate to stop the cycle of violence. I'm praying for the Parkland community and every family impacted by gun violence.

Protesters are outside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after the Trump admin brought the agency to a halt. Most of the offices above us are dark. Rep. Pressley is at the mic — “THIS is what we're gonna dismantle? What in the hell kind of government efficiency is that?”

On one hand, Donald Trump will steal from working class people through a crypto-scam. On the other hand, the hardworking staff at CFPB will fight to get people their money back. That’s why we need this essential agency to be reopened to finish its necessary work. youtube.com/shorts/ryrJY...
