Youth Guidance Boston is doing transformative work to keep our students in school and improve outcomes for at-risk young men and women. I'm grateful for the work they do pouring into our youth and for the opportunity to meet with them during our recent district work period.

Trump’s attack on Title X funding is an attack on women, health care, and vulnerable people. I'm joining the @reprocaucus.bsky.social & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social demanding Secretary Kennedy restore these funds & services that millions of our constituents depend on. time.com/7274529/hous...

162 House Democrats Urge HHS to Restore Title X Funds

The letter, shared exclusively with TIME, comes after HHS said it is withholding Title X funds from 16 organizations.

@warren.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I demand that DHS immediately provide her access to the care she needs, restore her visa, and release her. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (1/2):

“It is unconscionable that Rümeysa Öztürk—a young woman pursuing her education, exercising her First Amendment rights, and contributing to her community—remains detained by DHS. Her ongoing incarceration is not only a blatant violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech, but it is now an egregious denial of her fundamental right to medical care.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (2/2):

“According to her lawyer, Rümeysa has not received her required asthma medications and has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in custody. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

“As her representatives in Congress, we demand DHS immediately provide Rümeysa with access to the health care she needs, and absent compelling evidence justifying her detention and the revocation of her status, we call for Ozturk’s release and the restoration of her visa. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk, and DHS must move with urgency.”

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

In Trump’s America, it does not matter how many people get hurt as long as his extremist agenda moves ahead. When they come for your health care, we fight back harder. Read our full statement from Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov & @pressley.house.gov 👇.

As HHS holds tens of millions of essential health care dollars hostage, we led 162 House Democrats in demanding the immediate restoration of #TitleX funding. They're going after birth control and cancer screenings. We won't stand by. Read more from RFC & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social 📷.

Instead of helping Massachusetts schools continue to recover from the pandemic, Donald Trump is ripping millions away from students & teachers. These are cuts to mental health services, math tutoring, screenings to improve reading skills, services our students need & deserve.

The ‘country is on fire’ under Trump, Mass. Rep. Pressley says | John L. Micek

"History has shown me what is the best way to beat a tyrant, to beat a dictator. So we have the blueprint. We just need to follow it," U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-7th District, said.

Everyone should be able to choose their own healthcare provider. But today, right-wing extremists want to deny Medicaid recipients that fundamental right and continue their assault on healthcare. The Supreme Court must stand with the people and protect patients' rights.
