You told us how “junk fees" hurt your wallets – and we listened. This week, my office begins enforcing new junk fee regulations to make sure Massachusetts businesses are transparent with their pricing. We will continue to work to put money back into the pockets of consumers.

Faced with our lawsuit, the Trump Administration has rightly decided to release $184 million in critical funding that helps Mass. residents serve their communities. Our lawsuits are working, and we won’t stop fighting to hold the federal government accountable when they harm our residents.
The rise of nonconsensual deepfake images is a dangerous violation of human decency and dignity. Protecting our communities, especially our young people, from this exploitative content means that we must be willing to work together to stop its spread.

On the latest #SalemMA Compass podcast it was a pleasure to chat with @massago.bsky.social! We talked about her work supporting the communities of the Commonwealth, standing up against federal funding cuts, legal actions to support vulnerable residents, and much more. www.salemma.gov/salemcompass
All the while, our research institutions, economy, and residents who depend on this lifesaving medical research will suffer. Even if accountability is delayed, we won’t stop fighting to protect this funding, our residents, and our rule of law.
SCOTUS’ decision is wrong & disappointing. Even though the Court did not dispute that the Trump Admin’s decision to cut critical medical & public health research is illegal, they ordered the recipients of that funding – hospitals, researchers & the state – to jump through more hoops to get it back.
When Peabody Properties failed to warn customers about a data compromise, my office stepped in and was able to secure a $795,000 settlement for affected residents. Your personal data is private – and it should stay secure. www.law360.com/compliance/a...
The Trump Administration's funding and policy changes have left non-profit and charitable organizations confused and vulnerable. Join me for a virtual Community Briefing to hear how my office is helping non-profits navigate this challenging, changing landscape. us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
For decades, VOCA grants have supported victims and survivors of crimes as they try to restore normalcy in their lives. Now, the White House wants to make that funding conditional upon the enforcement of their cruel immigration policies. We're suing to ensure funding is upheld.

Public leaders are elected by the people to solve their most pressing issues, not to take away their health care, tank the economy & gut their kids’ school funding. What’s happening at the federal level is nonsense. If we aren’t using our power for good, what’s the point?

Good news: We won a court order temporarily stopping the Trump Administration from using private Medicaid data for immigration purposes while we continue our case in court. This is a win in pushing back against the fear, confusion, and chaos the White House is working to sow in our communities.
The Trump Administration is trying to roll back the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards that limit air pollutants from power plants that cause serious danger to public health. Exposure to these toxins cause lifelong health conditions - I’m joining a coalition of AGs to oppose this reckless proposal.
No matter your zip code, county, or region in the state, you deserve an Attorney General who not only works for you, but shows up and meets you where you are. I’m dedicated to using the resources of this office to do just that and protect ALL of our residents.
By misclassifying their workers, Weee! prevented access to essential employee benefits, like paid sick time to care for themselves and their families. My office stepped in and secured a $865,000 settlement, which will provide over 160 Massachusetts workers with restitution.
Last week, I toured the Central Street Bridge Project in Manchester-by-the-Sea. The bridge, along with roughly 2,000 projects just like it, wouldn't be possible without funding from FEMA's BRIC program.
The Trump Admin is attempting to gut that program, but we just won a court order to protect it as our case proceeds.

When the White House unlawfully cuts funding and grants, those actions have consequences here in Mass. In Manchester-by-the-Sea, Trump's attempt to gut FEMA's BRIC program - which helps communities fortify themselves against natural disasters - would put the Central Street Bridge project at risk.
That would be my office! www.mass.gov/how-to/file-...
For decades, broker fees have burdened Massachusetts renters with excessive upfront costs in an increasingly expensive rental market. This month, a new broker fee law went into effect to ensure renters aren't left footing the bill for someone they never hired. Here’s what renters should know.

As our public education system faces continuous attacks by the Trump Administration, state attorneys general have the power to fight back and protect our kids, teachers, and schools. Read my piece for time.com on how Dem AGs are taking action. time.com/7307744/trum...
60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law and broke down barriers to the ballot for countless Americans. As this White House works to undermine the democratic ideals of our country, we must continue to fight back with everything we've got.

NEW: We just won an order from a judge protecting funding for the FEMA BRIC program while we continue fighting our case in court. Today, I was in Manchester-by-the-Sea at the Central Street Bridge Project, which wouldn't be possible without this critical funding.
Illegal offshore gambling platforms are harming vulnerable communities, especially young people, with no oversight or accountability. I’m leading a bipartisan coalition of state AGs urging U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to help us protect our residents and economies from these unlawful operations.
Trump’s attempt to restrict life-saving healthcare for trans youth is cruel and illegal, and we won’t stand for it. My office will keep fighting to protect these rights and the safety of our LGBTQ+ youth.

I'm excited to announce next steps for drivers in our landmark settlement with Uber and Lyft. Historic new benefits have already begun going into effect, and now, 70% of drivers who drove between July 2020-2024 will be receiving a restitution check. Look out for contact from Rust Consulting.
NEW: I'm co-leading a coalition to sue the Trump Administration for its attacks on health care for trans youth. These decisions should be made by patients, providers, and their families - not politicians. We're fighting to protect all of our young people from these unlawful policies.

An attack on Planned Parenthood is an attack on the sexual and reproductive health care of millions of patients across the country that rely on them. Trump is unlawfully attempting to block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding - we're suing to fight back.
EPA’s disregard for the dangers of greenhouse gases defies science, law, and common sense. More than two decades ago, Massachusetts led the charge to force EPA to do its job to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, and we’re not going to stop holding EPA accountable now.
When the Trump Administration attempted to unlawfully freeze over $107 in funding for Massachusetts schools, we sued them. Now, the Dept. of Ed says it will release billions in critical funding. We won't stop holding this Administration accountable for violating our laws and harming our children.
Trump is playing politics with SNAP, a program families across Massachusetts rely on to put food on the table, to fuel his cruel, anti-immigrant agenda. We’re suing to protect our residents and uphold our federal privacy laws.

Today we’re honoring 35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landmark moment in American history and shift towards equality. While we celebrate the progress made, we must also recognize the work needed to ensure accessibility, equity, and inclusion for all.
NEW: After SCOTUS punted our Birthright Citizenship case back to the lower courts, a judge in our case just issued an order to reaffirm nationwide relief while the case continues, meaning someone's U.S. citizenship won't depend on whichever state they happen to be in at any given moment.
Rather than putting real resources into making this country more affordable for everyday people, the Trump Admin is spending their time attacking immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and critical government programs. They’re wasting taxpayer dollars while trying to undo the progress we’ve made.
This month, I joined @deray.bsky.social to talk about how our office is holding the Trump Administration accountable for their cruel immigration enforcement tactics. Listen to my conversation on Pod Save the People wherever you get your podcasts.

It’s such a pleasure getting to see the impact our Healthy Summer Youth Job grants make in MA communities. The Berkshire Family YMCA has been able to hire Camp Safety roles – providing professional development for youth workers and a safer environment for campers.

Trump's Dept. of Energy is attempting to remove efficiency standards for appliances like dehumidifiers and microwave ovens. This would cost consumers millions of dollars in higher utility bills, disregarding Americans' concerns about rising costs.
My office secured a $1.045M settlement with Traveler’s Transit for defrauding MassHealth, the Department of Developmental Services, and wasting taxpayer resources.
Every Massachusetts resident, no matter their citizenship status, deserves access to quality health care, education, and community support. I’m proud to join a coalition of 21 state AGs fighting back against Trump’s harmful attack on the public benefit programs that help our communities thrive.

Let me be crystal clear, Donald Trump continuing to play politics with education will greatly damage the system for future generations. We aren’t backing down, and we’re going to win.
Amidst a housing crisis, Trump's tariffs are only going to make things worse. Tariffs will drive up the costs of building materials and stall or put new and in-progress development on hold, keeping us from increasing supply. The affordability crisis is crushing people - we need real solutions.

My office secured a $1.6M settlement for Massachusetts with Gilead Sciences for attempting to pay kickbacks to health care providers to improperly promote their HIV drugs. We’re putting pharmaceutical companies on notice that we will not tolerate unlawful behavior.
The Trump Administration is attempting to roll back legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children, putting vulnerable young people's rights at risk and limiting their access to systems designed to protect them. I filed a brief in court today to fight back against this harmful action.
Trump’s funding cuts are here, and they have real consequences. The Trump Administration is terminating a $327 million grant intended to fund the Allston Multimodal Project in Boston, which would have brought in jobs, improved transportation and created new space for housing development.
NEW: We just received another big win in our case against the Trump Administration for unlawfully terminating funding for NIH grants. Another win in our case to preserve NIH funding for public health and biomedical research from Trump’s illegality, this time before the First Circuit.

It is shameful to see the new ways this Administration finds each day to roll back progress and strip away critical funding for our communities.
