Congresswoman Lori Trahan

I just voted YES on the Iran War Powers Resolution. No blank checks for endless wars.

Donald Trump fired Kristi Noem.

Hold the line on ICE funding.

Why Accelerating Kids Access to Care Matters How the bipartisan bill improves children’s access to critical out-of-state care.

For too long, children battling rare diseases and their families have had to fight through ridiculous red tape blocking their ability to get the care they need.

That’s why I fought to pass my bipartisan Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act.

The Administration has not disclosed to Congress how much their mission has cost to date, yet they’re already asking for more money.

Lawmakers anticipate Trump will seek emergency funding for ‘open-ended’ Iran war Top Trump administration officials briefed Congress on the U.S. military onslaught Tuesday but did not say whether they will ask for supplemental defense funding.

Donald Trump has put American servicemembers in harm's way in Iran with no imminent threat, no clear plan, no authorization and almost no support from the American people.

The U.S. State Department has released new guidance for American citizens stuck in the Middle East:

U.S. citizens should depart the region if they are able. Embassies are suspending routine services, and at this time, the U.S. government is not organizing evacuation flights.

Congress must debate and decide when we go to war, not the President alone.

3 US troops killed, 5 seriously wounded in actions against Iran U.S. Central Command officials announced Sunday that three U.S. service members were killed in action during combat operations.

Heartbreaking news this morning. Three American servicemembers killed, five critically wounded, and many more injured.

There are real consequences for our men and women in uniform and their families when we go to war. That’s why I will vote YES this week on the War Powers resolution.

I will continue pressing for transparency and oppose any unilateral rush to war that puts politics ahead of our troops and the wellbeing of the American people. My full statement on Donald Trump's decision to launch U.S. military strikes on Iran:

Former Fitchburg theater to become housing, retail FITCHBURG — Fitchburg State University’s is teaming with developer GFI Partners to convert the former downtown theater building into housing and commerce.

Great to see the Fitchburg Theater Block included as a central part of the downtown’s revitalization efforts. Complete with new housing and small business opportunities, this is a great opportunity for economic momentum in Fitchburg! @samsquailia.bsky.social

The ACA health coverage subsidy lapse hit 22 million people. Here are some of their stories The lapse of enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance has forced families to make difficult financial choices.

Since Donald Trump and Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 22 MILLION Americans have been impacted – with many seeing the cost of their premiums double, triple or more.

Where’s the GOP health care plan?

You paid for tariffs — but you won’t get a slice of tariff refunds | CNN Business The government is on the hook to refund $134 billion – and counting – worth of tariff revenue collected from President Donald Trump’s most sweeping tariffs, which were rendered illegal by the Supreme ...

Donald Trump's reckless tariffs cost the average American family over $1,000 dollars last year.

Instead of sending hardworking Americans a refund, Trump is going to pay out the corporations who hiked their prices.

Donald Trump had one goal with his State of the Union address — to convince the American people he’s focused on lowering costs and keeping communities safe.

He failed.

I’m not attending Donald Trump’s State of the Union tonight. Here’s why⬇️

Trump Says He Will Raise Global Tariff to 15 Percent

Donald Trump’s tariffs drove prices higher for working families trying to afford their groceries and utilities.

After the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs, Trump is doubling down on his failed policies.

Americans cannot continue paying the price.

MassDevelopment’s Transformative Development Initiative is designed to help communities drive economic growth, support small businesses and strengthen opportunities. Great to see Lowell and Fitchburg included in this important program!

Donald Trump’s “ballroom is really the president’s main priority.”

Meanwhile millions of families in America can’t afford to renovate their homes, buy a car or book a vacation.

Huge congratulations to #MA3’s Jack Eichel & UMass Lowell's Connor Hellebuyck for bringing home the gold for Team USA in Men's Ice Hockey!

Greater Lowell Community Foundation awards $700K in grants to 47 nonprofits LOWELL — The Greater Lowell Community Foundation has announced $700,000 in grants to 47 nonprofit organizations through its new Resilience and Care Grants program.

While the federal government cuts funding for crucial services, the Greater Lowell Community Foundation is stepping up.

These investments will help families put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads and get their kids to school.

Health insurance is even less affordable this year – here’s why | CNN Business Millions of Americans got a nasty reminder this month of just how costly health care coverage is.

Not only did Republicans’ One Big, Ugly Bill FAIL to lower health care costs for American families – costs are actually rising.

Meanwhile, ICE got a $170 BILLION slush fund and billionaires got another tax cut.

MA has one of the best small-town museums, per USA TODAY. Here's where The museum celebrates revolutionary history in Massachusetts.

Congratulations to Concord Museum for being named one of the best small-town museums by USA Today. What a well-deserved achievement!

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore Displays, for Now, About Slavery at Washington’s House

The Trump administration is trying to rewrite our nation’s history. They even tried erasing the stories of our community by forcing Lowell National Historical Park to stop showing films about the Lowell mill girls who helped spark America’s labor movement.

A federal judge just stopped them.

I look forward to working with her and @massgovernor.bsky.social to continue making Massachusetts a better place to call home.

Congratulations to Juana Matias on being named our next Secretary of Housing! As a State Representative, HUD Regional Administrator and community leader, Juana has dedicated her career to serving families in Lawrence and across the region.
