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.

Happy Veterans Day! Our veterans are defenders of democracy & freedom, and our communities are stronger thanks to their service, contributions, & sacrifices. I'll never stop fighting for them to live with dignity, respect, quality healthcare, adequate housing, and so much more.
Trump's refusal to fully fund SNAP will have devastating impacts on our local economies, urban farmers, & food sellers. Including Davey's in Roxbury, a staple since 1983. Trump's violent policy choice to let people go hungry is harming their business and the families they feed.
Head Start programs provide essential child care, nutritious meals, & a quality early education for our kids. Now, Trump & Republicans' govt shutdown is forcing Head Start programs to close. They're intentionally taking children out of school and making families scramble for support.
With Trump enacting wholesale harm, I'm grateful for our orgs in the #MA7 standing in the gap providing essential services, protecting our neighbors, & more. I held check-ins with La Colaborativa & Chelsea Black Community to hear from them & how we can continue our work to support our communities.

Our food service workers, custodians, & security workers keep our government running.   But this Republican govt shutdown is denying them work & pay — for no fault of their own.   The Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act would ensure they get the back pay they deserve once the govt reopens.
This is a victory for our families, and I'm grateful to our state & local partners, advocates, & organizers who made it possible. It's a shame it took multiple court orders for Trump to do the right thing. And it's even more damning that he's fighting to overturn the ruling.
NEW: The Trump administration tells states it will fully fund SNAP benefits as soon as today while it appeals a federal judge's order.
WARNING: The violence and cruelty is hard to watch, but impossible for families to endure.   This is a sickening example of Trump and ICE's blatant disregard for humanity as they terrorize our families and communities.   It is shameful, cruel, and it must end.
Donald Trump is doing everything he can to NOT feed your family during the govt shutdown he created. Court after court has told his Administration to fully fund SNAP without delay, but he refuses to. He has contempt for the people and the cruelty is the point.
BREAKING: The Trump administration asks a federal appeals court for an emergency pause on a federal judge's order to fully fund SNAP benefits this month.
Republicans speak with a mouthful of scripture but carry a heart full of hate.   They shut down the govt, cut food assistance, & jack up healthcare costs—all while pushing harmful stereotypes of struggle.   Poverty isn't a moral failing & struggle doesn't discriminate — it finds all of us.
Air traffic controllers unpaid. Flights delayed & cancelled. And now Trump is shutting down 10% of air traffic at our busiest airports, including Boston Logan. Republicans must reopen the govt. I'll keep fighting for our airport workers & their rightful pay.
The Trump administration said it would reduce air traffic in 40 of the busiest markets in the U.S. if the shutdown continues. The cuts would take effect on Friday, potentially forcing hundreds of thousands of travelers to suddenly change plans. nyti.ms/47V3ZqN
