I was raised in a union family, in a city built by unions, and in a Commonwealth that knows the value of unions fighting for better wages and stronger benefits. That’s why I voted YES on @DonaldNorcross’s bill to ensure that when workers choose to unionize, their seat at the

Frontier AI companies in the U.S. and China are in a race to develop the most powerful systems in the world, and the stakes for our national security, workforce and cyber defenses couldn't be higher. The question isn't whether Congress should act. It's whether we will act in

I'm more bullish on GAAIA (the Trahan-Obernolte bill) than a lot of safety types, but one flaw that a lot of people (including me, initially) overlooked is that the whistleblower protection section strips out all of the good stuff that Sen. Grassley's AI Whistleblower Protection

I just left the Capitol after voting NO on the Republican’s reckless budget bill. This bill does nothing rein in ICE. Instead, it hands another $70 billion check to Trump’s mass deportation machine. Massachusetts families deserve a Congress that works for them, not Donald

Today, I’m voting NO on the Republican reconciliation package. Instead of reversing their cuts to SNAP or health care, Republicans are giving another $70 BILLION to ICE. No reforms. No protections for our communities. Nothing to lower costs.

First, it was a TRILLION dollars in cuts to SNAP and Medicare. Now, Republicans are targeting Social Security and Medicaid. The goal is the same: Tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to the programs that Americans pay into over their careers and need when they retire.

As the daughter of a union ironworker and a former Division I volleyball player, organized labor and sports are at the core of who I am today. That’s why it was such an honor to speak at the @WorldPlayersWPA Summit, hosted at @AFLCIO headquarters!

More than sixty years ago, the Supreme Court's decision in Griswold v. Connecticut established a principle that has guided us ever since: health care decisions belong to individuals and their doctors, not politicians. Today that principle is under attack. We will not go back.

Without a comprehensive federal strategy on AI, the most powerful corporations will set their own rules. We’ve already seen the devastating consequences of that approach with social media. We can’t let that happen again. We need a bipartisan framework, and we need it now.

82 years ago, over 73,000 Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Many never came home. Among them was Private Dominic R. Narciso from Foxborough, who gave his life so future generations could live in freedom. Today, we honor their courage, sacrifice and the ideals

Grateful to @BetterFuture_AI for this thoughtful analysis of our bipartisan framework. Their leadership in protecting children from AI harms matters, and I look forward to engaging with them through the discussion draft process. Getting this right takes serious engagement from

What a difference a year makes. Last June, tech companies were pushing to include a 10 year AI moratorium into the budget and almost succeeded. This week, @JayObernolte and @RepLoriTrahan outlined a substantive working proposal for leveraging the opportunities of AI while also

Artificial intelligence models are getting more powerful each day. We need a national strategy that prioritizes safety and national security at the federal level while ensuring states can protect their residents from AI harms. It has to be bipartisan. We have to get this right.
