This unprecedented step by President Biden, heeding our calls.

Our colleagues across the aisle don’t know what a hand up looks like. That’s why they didn’t want a child tax credit.

As Congresswoman for the Massachusetts Seventh I am going to do everything in my power to keep my constituents safe and stand up against white supremacy whenever and wherever it shows up.

Housing is a fundamental human right, yet across the country and in my district, the Massachusetts 7th, millions of people do not have access to a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home.

Perhaps now is the time to expand the Fed's toolkit to meet the unique moment that we find ourselves in.

But by your own account, you stated on the record that the Fed's current tools are ill-suited to deal with the inflation we are seeing.

I thank Representative Omar for bringing us together this afternoon and for her steadfast leadership on the issue of hunger and food insecurity, an issue that she has been leading on since she was in the Minnesota State Legislature. We are…

My family and I have celebrated Juneteenth for decades, but this year marks only the second year that Juneteenth will be observed as a Federal holiday. Some may wonder what is the significance of this day and why is national recognition…

For too long, our policies and financial systems have exacerbated inequities and disparities throughout our country. I rise in support of our disabled neighbors who have been subjected to a second-class standard of living. By passing the…
