In his last speech, Dr. King reminded us that the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights. His words are as relevant today as they were then. In the face of authoritarianism, we'll always remain active, engaged, and relentless in our pursuit of justice.
Coretta Scott King wasn't just a grieving widow who picked up a mantle. She was already an effective strategist and activist who wrote the blueprint for our survival. And she reminded us that freedom is never really won — you have to earn it and win it in every generation.
We cannot stand idly by while rogue ICE agents ravage our communities, brutalize families, and kill our neighbors. Our bill sends a powerful message to everyone in America—citizen or not—that when ICE agents break the law, they should and will be held accountable.
A graphic with an article by the BET that reads: In New Bill, Ayanna Pressley Demands End To Qualified Immunity For ICE Officers
Solidarity with the people of Iran as they fight for their humanity, independence, & right to self-determination from a violent, authoritarian regime. From Massachusetts and Minnesota to the Middle East and beyond, our freedoms and our destinies are tied.
Breaking news: Hundreds of demonstrators have been killed in Iran, rights groups said Sunday, as reports of a dramatic escalation in the use of deadly force by security forces as they struggle to contain the protests.
HUGE: After we fought back, Trump is delaying his cruel plans to seize the wages & tax refunds of folks behind on their student loans. This would've been devastating for borrowers & our economy—& it should never happen. Congress must pass our bill to end garnishment permanently.
Education Sec. Linda McMahon told reporters that wage garnishment for defaulted student-loan borrowers has "been put on pause for a bit."
Suspending immigrant visas for 75 countries is a cruel, racist, and xenophobic policy that does nothing to keep America safe. It is a betrayal to families who have played by the rules & waited years to be reunited with their loved ones. The Trump Admin must reverse course.
BREAKING: The U.S. will suspend immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose nationals are deemed likely to need public assistance.
When we fight, we win. After Trump tried to cancel billions in funding for mental health programs, we fought back. And now, the Administration is backing down. I'll keep fighting to ensure everyone can access the mental health services & wraparound care they deserve.
Breaking News: A day after the Trump administration said it was cutting $2 billion in mental health funding, it reversed itself and reinstated the money.
Mifepristone is safe, effective, & has been FDA-approved for 25 years. Today's Republican HELP hearing on 'protecting women' was just a baseless attempt by Republicans to spread misinformation & undermine access to abortion care. As @reprocaucus.bsky.social Co-Chair, I won't stop fighting back.
Trump's attacks on housing assistance programs are worsening the housing crisis. And while he threatens wars abroad, Democrats are focused on lowering costs at home. Today, I'm co-hosting a @usprogressives.bsky.social shadow hearing on housing affordability. Tune in at 2pm:
A graphic that reads:

Building the New American Dream: Lowering Housing Costs for All

A Congressional Progressive Caucus shadow hearing on tackling housing affordability.

Hosted by CPC Lowering Costs Taskforce Chair Yassamin Ansari, Deputy Chair Ilhan Omar, & Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley

It is our duty as Members of Congress to conduct oversight at ICE detention facilities. But Trump & Noem are trying to block us from doing our job and holding them accountable for the inhumane treatment of our immigrant neighbors. We’re taking them to court.
A tweet by Kyle Cheney that reads: OVERNIGHT: House Democrats went back to court to block Secretary Noemn's renewed effort to block unannounced congressional oversight of ICE facilities.
BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @markey.senate.gov to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents. This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.
