To our trans neighbors in the #MA7 & around the country: This Congresswoman sees you, loves you, & will never stop fighting for you. You deserve to show up in the world as your full, authentic self & live with dignity & respect, without fear. #TransAwarenessWeek
@aapd.com is at the frontlines of the fight for disability justice. Their programs & services are so deeply needed as we demand better and fight this Administration’s discriminatory policies. I was honored to join these justice seekers for their 30th Anniversary Gala.

Logan Airport wouldn't run without our SEIU 32BJ workers who take pride & dignity in what they do.  I was proud to join them to demand the wages, benefits, and working conditions they deserve. Their work is essential and their livelihoods are important. It's what they're owed.
Trump wants to deflect and distract, but the people see right through his cover up. He can't escape this predatory, pedophile, ponzi scheme he's complicit in. That's why we're fighting to release all the Epstein files, hold a hearing with survivors, & deliver accountability.
Breaking news: Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated she has appointed a prosecutor to examine the relationships between Jeffrey Epstein and other prominent Democrats, including former president Bill Clinton, as requested by President Trump today.
Trump's retaliatory firing of my constituent Ellen for exercising free speech is egregious & dangerous. That’s why I’m fighting for Ellen & every federal worker unjustly fired. USDA must immediately reinstate her & allow her to continue serving our communities and country.

The cruelty is the point. Instead of ensuring families are fed after he refused to fund SNAP, the Trump Admin is doubling down on the harm. They are actively trying to make it harder for people to put food on the table. It's shameful.
The Trump admin to require millions of low-income people to reapply for food stamps as part of an effort to crack down on “fraud," Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said.
BIG NEWS: After 7 weeks of being stonewalled by Speaker Johnson, Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva has officially been sworn in—giving us the last signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. We won't stop fighting for the healing & accountability that survivors deserve.
While families scrambled to feed their kids during Republicans' govt shutdown, Trump and USDA were trying to silence SNAP workers like Ellen from speaking out. This retaliatory firing is egregious and a violation of her right to free speech. She must be reinstated immediately.
A Washington Post article headline that reads: Trump administration prepares to fire worker for TV interview about SNAP.
This spending bill is a fundamental betrayal of the people, and I voted NO. Shame on every member of Congress who voted to deny a child their medication or to tear away life-saving cancer treatment. The people deserve so much better, and this fight isn't over.
Congrats to Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva on your long-overdue swearing-in! With you in Congress, the people of Arizona's 7th now have a voice in the halls of power. And we now have the 218th signature we need to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

These emails are damning. It's clear Trump knew about Epstein's abuse. It's time to release the full Epstein files NOW, hold a hearing with survivors, and end this White House cover-up once and for all.
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.
It's always an honor to spend Veterans Day at the Puerto Rican Veterans Memorial in the South End. Thank you to the over 200,000 Boricuas who have served our country, & to Tony Molina for preserving their legacy. We're lucky to have this one-of-a-kind memorial here in the #MA7.
We must remember to honor our veterans not just with words, but with action. And our veterans, many with visible & invisible wounds, deserve the gratitude and benefits they earned. That includes healthcare, food assistance, housing, dignity in their daily lives, & more.
A tweet by Rep. Pressley that reads:

This Veterans Day, instead of uplifting our veterans, Trump & Republicans are letting them go hungry.

1.2M veterans need SNAP benefits to feed themselves & their families, as do 13% of active military personnel.

This is intentional policy harm, and they deserve better.
A tweet by Rep. Pressley that reads:

Our veterans deserve to be met with dignity, respect & the benefits they rightfully earned.

But Trump & Republicans have refused to extend vital healthcare subsidies, meaning 267,000 veterans could lose health coverage.

This isn't how we care for those who've served our country & communities.
Grateful to start my Veteran's Day in Cambridge honoring the sacrifices and contributions of our #MA7 veterans. Thank you to Army Veteran Kevin Lambert for his service, and his essential role helping our veterans live healthy, stable, dignified lives.
