AI is one of the most important forces shaping our lives, but Americans don’t trust either party to deal with it.

Democrats need bold solutions to make sure AI doesn’t just make a few billionaires richer while screwing over everyone else.

REJECT AIPAC // NO WAR ON IRAN

The United States gave Netanyahu billions of dollars to fund the genocide in Gaza.

Now, Netanyahu and Trump are teaming up for an unconscionable war with Iran.

The American people are sick and tired of funding atrocities to appease Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime.

Our tax dollars paid to blow up an elementary school in Iran, and Trump lied about it.

These are the real costs of war. The American people don't want another endless war and they don't want our military killing children.

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

This is what happens when communities learn what's coming: MA utilities have received requests for 2GW of new data center capacity, equivalent to 85% of all households in the state. I support the Clean Cloud Act to make data centers accountable for their energy use and emissions.

In Lowell, Mass., residents dealt with years of noise and diesel fumes from the Markley data center before the City Council passed a unanimous moratorium last month. In Everett, a petition calling for a preemptive ban has gathered over 650 signatures in just two weeks.

the siege of Gaza, settlement expansion, and the legal architecture of apartheid. It means supporting Palestinian statehood and self-determination. It means enforcing the Leahy Law. It means rejecting the influence of AIPAC.

True justice for Palestinians requires an end to occupation, siege, and the systematic denial of basic rights.

This means ending U.S. military aid to Israel, which enables human rights violations with impunity. It means using American leverage to push for an end to the occupation,

For decades, U.S. policy has treated Israeli security and Palestinian rights as competing interests. This framing is morally bankrupt and strategically failed. True security for Israelis requires that Palestinians live with dignity, freedom, and self-determination.

I am delighted that dogs are able to receive high-quality health care.

But what about humans?

In America today, 85 million are uninsured or under-insured.

Health care must be considered a human right.

We need Medicare for All, NOW.

That same rep said in a town hall that the war was ok as long as β€œboots on the ground” didn’t happen. He’s a former Marine officer. He knows full well how war progresses. As you pointed out, he’s bought by Israel too. On the constituent level, he’s not really doing anything there either.

I support the Social Security Expansion Act and will cosponsor it on day one. The act will expand Social Security benefits by $2,400 per year for seniors struggling with rising costs. We can extend the program’s solvency for 75 years by requiring billionaires to pay their fair share.

Donald Trump has replaced an 86-year-old terrorist dictator with a 56-year-old terrorist dictator. Mojtaba Khamenei is a radical Shia Islamist who is committed to hard-line clerical rule at home and to exporting the Islamic Revolution abroad. He has deep, decades-long ties to the IRGC &

First comes the process critiques, now the strategy critiques. This rep. took $1 million from AIPAC and affiliated PACs. When Congress had a chance to stop Trump's war machine, he voted for a $1 trillion military budget.

No war on Iran. No more bombs, no more killing.

AI was responsible for nearly 55K layoffs in the United States this year alone. Since 2023, AI has been linked to more than 70K job cuts.

We need ambitious universal programs like Medicare-for-All and Universal Basic Income to address the reality that 7% of the entire workforce is projected to be replaced by AI within the next decade. It was a pleasure speaking with the Wrentham Dems at their Caucus.

Real estate and trusts should not be investment mechanisms for wealthy individuals and families to cement permanent affluence. The consequence on working people is the death of the American dream to own a home,

Massachusetts reps missing from this list include Katherine Clark, Richie Neal, Seth Moulton, and of course Jake Auchincloss, probably the biggest warmonger of the lot

Giving the government vague authority to define harmful content doesn't protect vulnerable kids. It gives the Trump admin. a new tool to silence them.

There is legislation in Congress that would create a universal basic income in the United States. The BOOST Act, introduced by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, would give $250/mo. to every working-age American. It is funded by a 2.5% tax on income above $30k for single filers and $60k for joint filers. Single filers earning < $150k and joint filers earning < 180k would see a net benefit.

Spoke with Attleboro Democrats about the need to address economic insecurities due to AI-related job displacement, including the need for Medicare-for-all, Universal Basic Income, and strengthening collective bargaining rights.

A fair tax system requires billionaires and corporations to pay their fair share while workers keep more of what they earn. We need a wealth tax on the ultra-rich, higher marginal rates on top incomes, and a corporate automation tax.

You're right, it was removed from the House version. A narrowed "duty of care" may be included in the reconciled version if the House passes it.

This is the end result of these backwards and badly thought out laws like COPPA, where the government is actively position the idea of queer expression as harmful for kids, so it can use that and similar laws to erase online queer communities from the internet.

Excellent points raised by @ocasio-cortez.house.gov on the package of online censorship bills up for debate in the House. Worth noting that Discord's 3rd-party age verification software is a Thiel venture.

AI was behind over 50,000 layoffs in 2025 β€” here are the top firms to cite it for job cuts Some of the world's biggest tech companies cited AI as part of their layoff and restructuring strategy in 2025.

KOSA creates a "duty of care" requiring social media platforms to prevent "harmful" content. It would empower FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, who considers transgender healthcare and LGBTQ content to be threats to children, to decide what counts as "harmful." @fightforthefuture.org
