Congrats to my constituent, Nathan, whose piece ‘The Cary House in Rising Spring’ won the #MA7 2025 Congressional Art Competition. As a Chelsea High School student, Nathan wanted to showcase the beauty in Chelsea to challenge the negative connotations & stigma that surrounds it.

Because Trump is losing in the courts, Republicans are trying to change the rules to rig the system. Tucked in the Big, Ugly bill is a provision that would restrict judiciary contempt proceedings from enforcing court orders & holding Admin. officials accountable. This is textbook authoritarianism.

A graphic that reads:

Trump tried to end birthright citizenship — BLOCKED.

He tried to shut down asylum — BLOCKED.

He tried to defund cities — BLOCKED.

I shudder to think what would happen to her if Republicans gut Medicaid. But one thing is for sure: families like hers would go bankrupt trying to do everything to keep their babies alive. The Senate must reject Trump’s big ugly bill that will rip medical care from our most vulnerable.

Layla is a thriving 3-year-old who lives with a rare liver disease. She had a successful liver transplant in Boston but will need immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of her life that are paid for by Medicaid.

"The Republican reconciliation bill that recently passed the House does nothing to address our glaring wealth inequality," @darrickhamilton.bsky.social and @pressley.house.gov write. wapo.st/43H3bUo

The Trump Administration keeps breaking the law and keeps losing in court. @pressley.house.gov is clear: Republicans do not care about law and order.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJun 14(source)

I grieve for the victims and my heart goes out to their loving families, dedicated staff, and the communities who elected them to serve.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJun 14(source)

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman & Rep. Melissa Hortman—and the tragic deaths of Rep. Hortman and her husband—are horrifying. Violence is unacceptable, no matter our differences, & must always be condemned.

While Donald Trump throws himself a North Korean-style military parade to boost his frail ego — a reminder that his Big, Ugly bill would make veterans lose their health care & food assistance.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJun 13(source)

The "Trump Accounts" in Republicans' Big Ugly Bill are not a serious solution to our growing wealth gap. @darrickhamilton.bsky.social and I wrote about why Congress should reject this regressive proposal and embrace Baby Bonds to advance economic justice.

Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will be devastating for Americans who will be forced to go bankrupt to keep their loved ones alive. — @pressley.house.gov

Mahmoud Khalil must be released and returned to his family immediately. And this Administration must stop their unlawful targeting of our students.

A federal judge on Wednesday barred the Trump administration from continuing to detain Mahmoud Khalil. The judge said Khalil would be released on Friday unless the government appeals.

Don't let Republicans distract from the fact they still want to rip healthcare from literal toddlers.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJun 12(source)

After voting to rip away food, healthcare, and other resources for families, Republicans just voted to slash PBS and critical foreign aid. The cruelty is the point. www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

After Voting For Trillions In Debt, House Republicans Approve A $9 Billion Cut

It won’t fix the nation’s fiscal health, but it sure will help Republicans feel better about making it worse.

Disgusting and unacceptable. Manhandling, throwing to the ground, and handcuffing a duly elected U.S. Senator for conducting oversight is what you see from fascist, authoritarian regimes. If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us.

@replamonica.bsky.social was doing her job and conducting oversight as a duly elected member of Congress. Trump is using baseless legal tactics to smear & silence this honorable Black Congresswoman—but it won't work. This won’t intimidate us and we stand with Rep. McIver.

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

Abducting mothers from our community outside of the court room as they desperately work to secure a legal pathway to residency doesn’t keep us safe. These abductions are sowing fear, robbing babies of their loving parents, and putting all of us at risk. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/09/m...

After firing tens of thousands of federal health workers, Trump's HHS is launching an initiative it claims will make baby formula safer. We're demanding Secretary Kennedy halt this program until staff are rehired and they can keep our families safe.

A graphic that reads: Pressley, colleagues sound alarm on RFK Jr's launch of baby formula review at gutted HHS.
