—Protecting & expanding reproductive healthcare —Building an inclusive care economy —Ending gender-based violence —Making gender equality the law of the land —& more Proud to work alongside my colleagues as we push back against this Administration’s attacks on women & girls.
With Trump & Republicans’ leading a full-scale assault on our fundamental rights, this moment demands a better future for women everywhere. Our @demwomencaucus.bsky.social policy agenda lays out how we'll continue to support & defend women & families by:
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.
Breaking News: The Justice Department is asking for a one-day sentence for a former officer convicted in the killing of Breonna Taylor.
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
The CFPB was created to protect consumers & prevent another financial crisis like the one in 2008. It has since returned $21B to victims of predatory financial practices. By gutting the CFPB & Dodd-Frank, the GOP are prioritizing big bank profits over the wellbeing of everyday people.
Let's call this what it is: human trafficking. Trump wants to kidnap families off our streets, strip them of due process, and ship them to countries they have no correlation to. This is dangerous, cruel, and will shamefully put vulnerable people in harm's way.
A memo reveals the federal government is planning to deport immigrants to countries where they hold no citizenship, with as little as six hours’ notice and without any guarantees that they’ll be protected from torture or persecution when they get there.
This inflation data is damning confirmation of what we've known: Trump is attacking everyone and everything EXCEPT the cost of living. And his reckless tariff war is harming families across this country.
U.S. consumer prices accelerated in June, rising 2.7% from a year earlier, as President Trump's tariffs started to leave a bigger imprint on the economy. Read more: https://trib.al/OiJi4hQ
I’m heartbroken for the 9 people who lost their lives in the fire at the Gabriel House in Fall River. I pray for the victims, their families, and everyone impacted. And I'm grateful for the dedicated first responders who saved dozens as the fire spread throughout the night. abcnews.link/IAgfpML
With this ruling, the Supreme Court is now complicit in Trump's lawless assault on students, parents, and educators. And this will only further undermine public education, threaten civil rights, and harm our most vulnerable. The shame and the sham of it all.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court is allowing President Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and lay off nearly 1,400 employees.
Sayfollah Musallet should be alive today. Instead, he was beaten to death in the West Bank by Israeli settlers, the second American killed there this year. The State Department must lead an immediate investigation and root out settler violence once and for all. There must be accountability.
Trump & Republicans' Big, Ugly Law is disastrous for Massachusetts. —300,000 could lose healthcare —175,000 could lose food assistance —Higher energy & education costs —More ICE kidnappings in our communities —& much more. We won't forget who did this. www.wbur.org/news/2025/07...
The state of our reparations movement is strong, and in this moment of heightened anti-Blackness, we are more resolved than ever. In the last legislative session, I held a staff briefing to discuss #HR40Reparations & how we can keep pushing to get this bill over the finish line.

This is what happens when Trump and DOGE gut the agency that helps millions of people with their Social Security benefits. Longer wait times. Less customer service. A crashing website. We can't allow Republicans to continue dismantling our government. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
