Mifepristone isn't dangerous. It is safe, effective, & FDA-approved. This bill is just another baseless attempt to restrict millions from accessing essential medication abortion, but we won't let up our fight. Abortion care is health care.
An article from The Hill titled: Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone.
I conducted real-time oversight of the Burlington ICE Facility today & left with my position unchanged: ICE must be abolished. And it’s important that we continue to conduct vigorous oversight for our constituents who have been unlawfully detained & traumatized.
I am heartbroken by the violent attack on Temple Israel in Detroit. My heart goes out to the children, educators, & families impacted and forced to endure this trauma. We must be able to feel safe at our places of worship, schools, & workplaces. We must put an end to hate in all its forms.
In no world is it acceptable, lawful, or humane to abduct a 14-year-old girl. This young girl was kidnapped, held for hours alone & scared, & transferred to New York. I’m relieved we could work with community partners & legal counsel to bring her home—but it should have never gotten to this point.
A 14-year-old girl who was apprehended by federal immigration agents in Marlborough and then detained in New York was ordered released by a federal judge in Massachusetts.
As the Congresswoman for the #MA7, it is not just my right but my responsibility to conduct oversight over ICE & their inhumane treatment of our immigrant neighbors. That’s why I just conducted an oversight visit at the Burlington ICE Facility to be an eye inside, ask questions, & demand answers.

Our abortion providers deliver essential reproductive health care to patients, even amid threats to their personal safety.   On this 30th commemoration of Abortion Providers Appreciation Day, @hirono.senate.gov, @peters.senate.gov & I are honoring the courage & care of dedicated health providers.
Rep. Pressley is holding a green sign indicating equal access to abortion, while under writing introducing her Abortion Providers Appreciation Day resolution.

This ruling is a lifeline for our Haitian neighbors who contribute so much to the #MA7 and nation. I continue to use every legislative tool to support Haitian community members, including pushing for a vote to extend TPS for Haiti and save lives.
I'm grateful for our Boston-based Black & brown creators. I've always been a firm believer that art & politics are deeply interconnected. And that's because our creators have the power to help uplift the issues we fight for, why justice matters, spark empathy & more.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley poses for a photo with Boston-based Black & brown creators.
Emmanuel Damas' death was entirely preventable. He died from sepsis. That started as a tooth infection while under ICE detainment. I’m urging DHS for a full investigation into his passing, and demanding proper medical care for all who remain behind the walls of these inhumane detention centers.
Sojourner Truth's fearless, courageous, & visionary spirit lives through our work. I was proud to moderate a Sojourner Truth Legacy Project panel of Black women to engage on issues like the pushout of Black women from the workforce & how to harness our power to better our communities.

The Trump Administration has failed to provide an evacuation plan for American citizens abroad. That's why we're urging the State Department to take immediate action to support the evacuations of American citizens & provide protection for embassy personnel throughout the Middle East.
When a nation loses care & concern for children, a nation becomes irredeemable. Small men wage endless wars because they are looking to profit, while it costs innocent lives. We will not tolerate Trump's callous disregard for human life. The war in Iran must come to an end NOW.
I just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution because we must stop Trump’s war in Iran. Only Congress can authorize a war. Trump is rogue and reckless. He is acting with complete disregard for the lives of our service members and Iranian civilians and he must be stopped.
Goodbye and good riddance. But don’t take the bait. Firing Noem alone won’t halt Trump’s campaign of terror. The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE NOW.
