Trump has used his clemency power to attempt to erase & whitewash history by pardoning over 1,500 Jan 6th insurrectionists, as my report shows. But we must remember Jan 6th for what it was: A violent white supremacist insurrection to overturn an election, incited by Trump.

Trump has granted more than 1,500 pardons to January 6 insurrectionists
I'll never forget what it was like to be inside the Capitol complex on Jan 6th. We didn't know if we'd make it home to our families. For those impacted—officers, staff, service workers, journalists, members & more—we'll never stop pursuing accountability, starting with Trump.
The January 6th insurrection will forever be a damning stain in American history. Five years later, as Trump continues attacking our democracy, we must never abdicate our responsibility to pursue accountability and tell the truth about what happened that day. My full statement:
Rep. Ayanna Pressley Marks Fifth Anniversary of Horrific January 6th Insurrection (1/2):

“Today marks five years since a violent white supremacist mob of insurrectionists, incited and emboldened by Donald Trump, attacked our Capitol—and with it, the very principles that make our country whole: freedom, democracy, equality.
 
“I will never forget what it was like to be inside the Capitol complex that day. We did not know if we would make it home to our families. I grieve deeply for the officers killed in the line of duty and the aftermath of the attack.”
 
“In the five years since, Donald Trump has attempted to dismantle our democracy at every turn and continues to operate with contempt for every person who calls this country home. Instead of facing accountability and making amends with those impacted on that harrowing day—Capitol police, Congressional staff, facilities workers, members of Congress, and the public writ large—Trump has attempted to erase and whitewash what took place on January 6th, pardoned more than 1,500 insurrectionists who desecrated our Capitol, and continued to spread lies, incite violence, and embolden organized white supremacist violence.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley Marks Fifth Anniversary of Horrific January 6th Insurrection (2/2):

“And it is no coincidence that on the eve of the anniversary of Trump’s attempt to overthrow American democracy, he is attempting to overthrow a foreign government in Venezuela in a brazen violation of our Constitution and international law. Trump disregarded Congress as a co-equal branch of government five years ago, and he is defying Congress and violating his oath of office again today.
 
“The January 6th insurrection will forever be a damning stain in American history, and we must never abdicate our responsibility to pursue accountability for everyone involved and tell the truth about what happened that day.

“As Donald Trump continues his march toward authoritarianism and attacks on our fundamental principles, I will keep using every tool at my disposal to do just that.”
In Everett, community isn't just a word—it’s a practice. While Trump attacks our families, Everett has stood strong and shown up for our neighbors. I'm so proud to represent them in Congress and to congratulate Mayor Van Campen & Everett city leaders at their inaugural exercises tonight.
Trump's DOJ has only released about 5% of the 5 million Epstein files in its possession, many of which were entirely redacted. This is NOT transparency—it's a brazen coverup & violation of federal law. Pam Bondi must release all the files NOW. Survivors have waited long enough.
Trump's unconstitutional attack on Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs & everything to do with oil & natural resources. And it's a distraction from his failed policies at home. Congress must pass a war powers resolution to reassert its authority & stop this unauthorized war.
Trump's bombing of Venezuela, kidnapping of Maduro & attempt to run the country are brazen violations of our Constitution & int'l law. It will endanger US lives, destabilize the region, & cost us billions of dollars. Congress must stop this endless war & hold Trump accountable.
My report makes it plain: Trump has used his pardon power to reward political allies, corporations, & insurrectionists—ignoring the people who need it most. He must change course and prioritize clemency for people directly harmed by mass incarceration & systemic injustice.
Happy Haitian Independence Day! 🇭🇹 As Haiti Caucus Co-Chair, I'm proud that such a vibrant Haitian community calls the #MA7 home. I'm grateful for their contributions, their unbreakable spirit, & everything they do to make our district and country better.
In a year where Trump attacked everything but the cost of living, we used every tool available to fight back. We led 20 pieces of legislation & sent dozens of Congressional letters to demand Republicans change course, & advance our vision for a better future. Here are a few:
Together, we rejected Trump's cruel attacks on our community members. We stood up, fought back & showed what community really looks like. From bringing Rümeysa Öztürk & Paul Dama home to advocating for the Allston carwash workers—we'll keep holding this White House accountable.

We’ve secured millions in federal funding for the #MA7, and saw many of those projects come to life in 2025. We helped expand digital literacy programs, invest in childcare & education programming, and open the doors of a new state-of-the-art community health center.

Housing is health, dignity, stability, & community. That's why I'm proud to see my Eviction Helpline Act & Helping More Families Save Act pass out of committee. Congress must pass these bills without delay, & we must keep fighting to affirm housing as the human right it is.
In 2025, my office conducted high-impact constituent services year-round. We supported hundreds of constituent cases—helping folks with passport renewals, tax refunds, housing & more. And we responded to thousands of constituent letters & held nearly 200 events in the district.

—Over 600 constituent service cases supported 

—Held nearly 200 high-impact community events
Happy #Kwanzaa to everyone celebrating in the #MA7 and honoring the seven principles: —Unity —Self-Determination —Collective Responsibility —Cooperative Economics —Purpose —Creativity —Faith How are you observing Kwanzaa this holiday season?
Trump's attacks on our Smithsonian museums undermine its mission to provide an accurate picture of our history—not a censored, whitewashed version. @reppaultonko.bsky.social & I met with Smithsonian Secretary Bunch III on how to defend our museums and safeguard our shared history.
