Recklessly firing thousands of workers at the U.S. Department of Education is an assault on our students and educators. This will undermine public education, threaten civil rights enforcement, and harm our most vulnerable.

The New York Times

Breaking News: The Education Department announced that it was firing more than 1,300 workers, effectively gutting the agency. The layoffs mean that the department will now have a work force of about half the size it did when President Trump took office.

Republicans' shameful bill would make people in my district hungrier, poorer, and sicker. And it would embolden Musk and Trump to continue gutting essential services, ransacking federal agencies, and attacking our democracy. I voted NO. My full statement.

A cover title that reads: Rep. Pressley’s Statement Opposing Republicans’ Shameful Government Budget Bill

Rep. Pressley’s Statement Opposing Republicans’ Shameful Government Budget Bill (1/2):

“Republicans’ bill is an absolute disgrace that would harm everyone who calls the Massachusetts 7th and America home. Instead of helping people make ends meet, this bill would harm our most vulnerable by cutting essential health and food assistance programs that families, seniors, and veterans depend on to survive.

“Instead of helping people stay safely housed, this bill would slash affordable housing and put elders, veterans, domestic violence survivors, and folks with disabilities at risk of eviction. Instead of reigning in Elon Musk’s unlawful assault on our federal government, this bill provides a blank check for him to continue dismantling government services—all while doing nothing to fund local community projects or protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Rep. Pressley’s Statement Opposing Republicans’ Shameful Government Budget Bill (2/2):

“Simply put, this bad-faith bill would make people in my district and across the country hungrier, poorer, and sicker, and it would further embolden Elon Musk and Donald Trump to continue gutting essential services, ransacking federal agencies, and attacking our democracy.

“I voted NO on this harmful legislation and I urge Senators from every state to prioritize their constituents and hold the line and vote NO as well. I remain ready to work with anyone who is serious about advancing progress, alleviating harm, and doing the work of the people.”

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Today, RFC Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov & @pressley.house.gov gathered Caucus Members to discuss recent GOP attacks on reproductive freedom & our agenda to protect health care access. Thank you to our special guest, @ppfa.org President & CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, and all the Members who joined!

DOGE is a shame and a sham.

A graphic of a committee exchange that reads:

Rep. Pressley: Do firing workers and then trying to un-fire them sound like government efficiency to you?

Mr. Dodaro: It’s not a best practice.

Rep. Pressley: It sure doesn’t to me. What kind of efficiency makes people hungrier? What kind of efficiency makes people poorer? What kind of efficiency makes people less safe?

Immigration is essential to the success of Boston. That’s why I’m grateful for the incredible leadership and partnership of @mayorwu.boston.gov, whose commitment to making Boston a welcoming home for everyone is a national model. Republicans could learn a thing or two from her.

We break concrete ceilings. We fight for our communities. Our voices are powerful. On International Women’s Day, we recommit to fighting for bold policies like abortion justice, the ERA, pay equity, paid leave, & more.

No surprise, this is how the Trump administration begins women's history month: with a public display that women's lives matter less to them than their political agenda. Read our statement from RFC Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov & @pressley.house.gov 👇.

It's been 60 years since Bloody Sunday and we're still in the Civil Rights Movement. With white supremacy emboldened, we must keep pushing to expand voting rights for young people, end felony disenfranchisement, and protect access to the ballot box. Our democracy depends on it.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 6(source)

We have been fighting for this. This is a massive victory for thousands who were unlawfully fired by Trump and Musk. And we won’t stop pushing until all of our dedicated civil servants are reinstated and can continue their essential work.

The Trump administration was ordered to reinstate thousands of fired USDA workers — a blow for its effort to shrink the federal bureaucracy.

Boston is vibrant, diverse, and beautiful. And immigration is essential to our city's success. Republicans would be well-served to learn from @mayorwu.boston.gov youtube.com/shorts/wH6E1...
