Since Trump took office, our federal workers have been intimidated & fired for no reason. That’s why I’m leading 85 lawmakers in urging the Office of Special Counsel to immediately reinstate more than 10,000 fired probation workers. We must put an end to the cruel attacks on our civil service.
A cover title that reads: Rep. Pressley leads 85 lawmakers urging federal workers unfairly fired to be reinstated
A graphic that reads: “We write to applaud the Office of Special Counsel for its recent decision to recommend halting the termination of probationary federal workers. “In response to the ongoing assault on our federal government, we strongly encourage the Office of Special Counsel to ensure all unfairly fired civil servants are immediately rehired and protected from greater abuse.”
A graphic that reads: “Since Trump’s inauguration, nonpartisan civil servants have been intimidated, threatened, traumatized, and fired for no legitimate reason. “There has never been a more cruel and baseless attack on our civil service in the history of our nation.”

Last night, House Republicans passed a budget plan that will make people across the country sicker, hungrier, poorer, & less safe. I voted NO. Here are four ways this disastrous bill will impact families in the #MA7:
A graphic that reads: Slashes Medicaid 233,063 people in the MA-07 on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under the Republican budget scam.
A graphic that reads: Increases food insecurity The Republican budget scam threatens the 187,000 people in the MA-07 who count on SNAP to put food on the table.
A graphic that reads: Higher monthly premiums 49,000 people who receive coverage under the ACA in the MA-07 would see their average premium go up by $1,400 per year.
A graphic that reads: Tax giveaways to the rich $2 trillion in tax giveaways to CEOs and big corporations, and a $314,266 average annual tax cut for the richest 0.1 percent.

Republicans have never been interested in helping folks make ends meet. They just want to enrich their billionaire donors by slashing life-saving programs like Medicaid, which 31% of Massachusetts residents depend on for healthcare. The cruelty is the point.

There are around 70 million Americans enrolled in Medicaid, half being children; 20 million of those enrollees only qualify due to Medicaid expansions—almost a third of the program. “Getting kicked off it would probably destroy me.”

This is a victory for our dedicated federal workers unlawfully fired by the Musk-Trump administration. We'll continue to match their energy & use every tool available to fight for your livelihood and dignity. Our workers deserve nothing less.

In response to our complaint filed along w/ Alden Law Group, the OSC recommends halting termination of probationary federal employees. The decision is now w/ MSPB who has the authority & precedent to approve the pause of terminations. In the absence of a decision, the pause will take effect on 2/27.
