📢#MA7: If you’ve been impacted by the cruelty of this hostile Trump Administration—by layoffs, the Republican govt shutdown, canceled federal funding, & more: I'm listening, and I want to hear from you. Please share your story at Pressley.House.Gov/ShareYourStory.
Head Start educators are doing everything they can to keep classrooms open & support our babies. But this Republican govt shutdown is threatening services for over 65K families, including 183 in Somerville & Cambridge. Republicans must reopen the govt & stop harming families.
As members of Congress, it's our job to conduct oversight, & that's exactly what @replamonica.bsky.social did at an ICE facility this year. Now, Trump is attacking this honorable Black woman for holding his lawless administration accountable—but we won’t let him. We stand with Rep. McIver.
I’m going to continue to show up to protect us, to protect the people of the 10th Congressional District, of New Jersey, and of this country. Because we need protection, and we have to continue to hold this administration accountable.
After our pressure, @nationalgrid.bsky.social announced a payment plan opportunity for federal workers & contractors impacted by the Republican government shutdown. Those needing assistance should call their hotline without delay: 1-800-322-3223. I call on @eversource.bsky.social to follow suit.
Thousands of federal workers & contractors in Massachusetts are missing paychecks because of the Republican govt shutdown. That's why I’m urging @nationalgrid.bsky.social & @eversource.bsky.social to make sure the electricity & heat stay on for their families. No shutoffs, late fees, or interest.
Healthcare costs are about to skyrocket for millions of families in Massachusetts & across the country. And where are House Republicans? On day 31 of their vacation. It’s time for Republicans to get back to work, re-open the govt, & address the healthcare crisis they created.
Happy #Diwali to everybody celebrating the festival of lights in the #MA7 and around the world. Light will always triumph over darkness. Wishing you and your loved ones love, light, and happiness during this joyous holiday.
Our girls are limitless. It was so fulfilling to co-host our Girl Scouts at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for a special civic engagement day. They were sworn in as "Senators for a Day," drafted legislation, delivered floor speeches, & encouraged to step into their power.

Instead of reopening the government and addressing the healthcare crisis they created, Republicans are willing to let hospitals close and people's healthcare costs double. It's shameful and our communities deserve better.
Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison. His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate. The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.

Republicans have never been serious about the care, health, & future of all our children. They want to ship middle schoolers to prison & rip them from their families while protecting predators like Trump & Epstein. We need real, sustainable solutions to keep our kids safe.
As Members of Congress, it's our right & duty to help folks abducted by ICE connect with their family & legal counsel. But the Republican govt shutdown & closure of ICE's congressional relations office is preventing us from doing just that. They must reopen the government NOW.
More than 35,000 #MA7 residents are at risk of losing their healthcare coverage if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire. None of this is acceptable and it's 100% preventable. Republicans need to re-open the government NOW and address the healthcare crisis they’ve created.

Amid shutdown, Rep. Pressley asks Eversource, Nat.Grid to keep lights on for federal employees
Trump is using the shutdown HE CREATED as an excuse to keep firing our dedicated federal workers. Workers who have been doing their jobs for decades and keeping our Commonwealth and country running. This is unlawful, and every single one of these workers must be reinstated.
