I look forward to remaining in contact with Mahmoud as we continue work to center the humanity of families in Gaza, address the unjust and unlawful targeting of students exercising their right to free speech, and protect the fundamental, constitutional rights of everyone who calls this country home.

Mahmoud Khalil is a kind, gentle soul who cares deeply about others' humanity, and his abduction, detention, and ongoing persecution by the Trump Admin is egregious. I am deeply relieved that he has been reunited with his wife and his infant son. Our meeting today was fortifying and productive.

In just 6 months of Trump's occupancy, he has fired tens of thousands of civil servants from our federal agencies. We all depend on the essential services they provide, and they deserve better. We won't stop fighting to support our federal workers & their critical work. www.cnn.com/politics/tra...

It’s past time that we regulate these hazardous products & affirm our right to safer alternatives. I’m proud to co-lead the Cosmetic Safety Protections for Communities of Color & Salon Workers Act w/ @schakowsky.house.gov & partner with advocates on the Safer Beauty Bill Package to do exactly that.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 19(source)
For decades, the beauty products marketed to Black women & girls have contained toxic, unregulated chemicals – leaving us to disproportionately suffer from increased incidences of cancer, respiratory issues, & adverse reproductive outcomes. This isn’t a coincidence–this is exploitation.

This week, Trump ended the 988 hotline service that has helped many of our LGBTQ+ neighbors during moments of crisis. This is cruel, it is dangerous, and it could be deadly. To our LGBTQ+ siblings: we see you, we love you, & there are resources available to you.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will kick 17 million people off of health care & decimate the food budgets of regular, working people. Today I joined with @pressley.house.gov, @projectbread.org & other leaders to hear stories from people whose lives will be made more difficult by these awful Trump cuts.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 19(source)
No one in Massachusetts—no child, student, parent, or senior—should go hungry. I held a timely listening session with @repmcgovern.bsky.social & @projectbread.org to hear from families directly impacted by Republicans' cruel cuts to food assistance and how we can support them going forward.

Breonna Taylor should be alive today. She was shot and killed while sleeping when officers fired into her home. By seeking a one-day sentence for her murder, Trump's DOJ is sending a cruel and disrespectful message: that they don't value her life or that of her loved ones.

I joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social to launch the Community Safety Agenda – including our People’s Response Act – to help save lives by centering de-escalation, mental health interventions, and a public health approach to public safety.
A graphic that reads: The People's Response Act - Advances an inclusive, holistic, and health-centered approach to public safety by creating a public safety division within HHS. - Launches a federal first responders unit to support states and local governments with emergency health crises. - Promotes alternative approaches to public safety to center health-based and non-carceral responses throughout the federal government.
A graphic that reads: The Mental Health Justice Act - Creates a grant program that allows states, tribes, and localities to hire, train, and dispatch mental health professionals to respond to mental health emergencies. - Empowers the Civil Rights Division at DOJ and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration at HHS to provide technical assistance to grant recipients. - Establishes best practices for mental health professionals responding to mental health emergencies.

Republicans' CLARITY Act green lights crypto schemes, emboldens Trump’s crypto corruption, & lacks critical consumer protections. The American people deserve crypto legislation that is fair, transparent, & accountable. The CALAMITY* Act fails that test.

"The Community Safety Agenda is born out of a movement. A movement that has long pushed our nation to center the dignity and humanity of all people—that is unrelenting, unwavering, and unafraid in our pursuit to challenge racist, ablest systems of oppression and inequity." @pressley.house.gov
