Dolores Huerta changed the course of our country. She spent her life organizing workers, fighting for farmworkers’ rights, and demanding for people often overlooked and left behind.

She didn't do it from the sidelines. She didn't do it for power. She did it because it was the right thing to do. Dolores believed every worker deserved a seat at the table, every family deserved a fair shot, and every person deserved to be heard.

Dolores Huerta built a movement that changed countless lives and opened doors for generations to come.

Today, the NSA warned organizations to patch two critical security flaws in PHP or take their systems offline. PHP is the software behind roughly 7 in 10 websites, from small business storefronts to town, school and government portals.   Attackers began exploiting these flaws before the fix was released, and what’s even more concerning is that many sites run versions too old to receive the update at all.   This is the new reality of cybersecurity in the age of AI. Advanced AI systems can now uncover serious vulnerabilities in the code that underpins the internet. That capability can strengthen our defenses, but it can just as easily be turned against us.   Congress is running out of time to act.   We should start now with the FRONTIER Act, which would place serious, durable guardrails on the most powerful AI systems. We should pair it with a liability regime like my CLAIM Act that compels companies to prioritize safety and gives those who are harmed a path to recourse. And we must make the investments in cyber defense that this moment urgently demands.

Today, our Lowell office was one of many congressional and election offices across the country that received a suspicious letter containing a potential threat. I’m grateful to the Lowell Fire Department, Lowell Police Department and FBI. They responded quickly, investigated thoroughly, and made sure my team was safe. That’s what our first responders do for our community every single day. My staff is safe, and our office continues to provide services to Third District residents in need of assistance. I won't pretend this is normal. It's deeply disappointing that threats like this have become part of our politics. The people who run our offices and our elections are public servants. They deserve to do their jobs without fear. Disagreement is healthy. Intimidation is not. Nothing will stop us from showing up for the hardworking Massachusetts families we have the honor of serving.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
