Republicans' budget plan is a shame & a sham. How is it efficient to make people sicker, hungrier, poorer & more vulnerable? How is it efficient to buy more toy rockets for Trump’s billionaire friends while parents can’t afford groceries? I'm voting NO. youtube.com/shorts/PFmQg...

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.

For Musk, Trump, & Republicans, it's never been about efficiency. Because there's nothing "efficient" about gutting government services that families depend on. It's always been about harming vulnerable people to pay for massive tax breaks for their billionaire friends. youtube.com/shorts/70rrK...

Trump’s attacks on DEI are anti-Blackness on steroids. And we’re not backing down in our pursuit of reparatory justice. My #HR40Reparations bill establishes a federal commission to develop reparations proposals for Black people harmed by slavery. www.masslive.com/politics/202...

Trump's shameful decision to end TPS for Haiti could be a death sentence for more than 500,000 Haitian nationals living in the US. My full statement with the House Haiti Caucus.

A cover photo that reads: Pressley, Haiti Caucus Condemn Trump for Ending TPS for Haiti

“With Haiti continuing to grapple with unspeakable violence and a horrific humanitarian, political, and economic crisis, this is a shameful decision that could be a death sentence for more than 500,000 Haitian nationals living in the United States.

“Haitians who have lived in the United States for up to 15 years, raised children, started businesses, and contributed to their communities are at risk of deportation for no reason other than being Haitian. We should be doing everything possible to save lives and bring stability and safety to Haiti—not throwing vulnerable people in harm’s way. We urge the Trump Administration to immediately reverse this cruel and callous decision.”

Our federal workers here in Boston & across the country have been left out in the cold. Overnight, they’ve had their livelihoods torn away. Trump is proving he doesn’t care about our workers, but I will never stop fighting for you. CivilServiceStrong.org youtube.com/shorts/2T8SU...

Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

Louis DeJoy's incompetence & attacks on the USPS have harmed our postal workers & communities for far too long. Good riddance. We need a Postmaster General who believes in the USPS as a public good & is committed to delivering the service our constituents deserve. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Trump and Republicans are continuing the years-long effort to attack civil rights & dismantle any policy that uplifts Black folks. Our #HR40Reparations bill would push back and help America address the legacy of slavery and its shameful history of systemic racism. youtube.com/shorts/EIxRF...

Happy Presidents' Day! Reminder that Presidents are elected to serve the PEOPLE — not unaccountable billionaires, corporations, or special interests.

They’re coming after funding. They’re coming after education. They’re coming after our data & payments. They’re coming after workers that don’t comply. Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to pillage our democracy to make themselves rich. But we won't let them.

Nearly 1.6 million Massachusetts residents use Medicaid. Yet, Republicans want to gut the program & attack the Affordable Care Act so they can give trillions in tax breaks to their billionaire friends. This is Trump’s Project 2025 in action.

A graphic that reads:

Medicaid covers 41% of all births in the U.S., 61% of long-term care, and 38% of health care for children.

Now Republicans want to cut Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

Today, we remember the 17 lives stolen at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. We must treat gun violence as the public health crisis that it is and legislate to stop the cycle of violence. I'm praying for the Parkland community and every family impacted by gun violence.

Seven years ago today, 17 people were killed and 17 were injured at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. This senseless shooting inspired young people across the country to demand improved gun laws. The #Parkland17 deserved better, and we keep fighting every day in their honor.

Protesters are outside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after the Trump admin brought the agency to a halt. Most of the offices above us are dark. Rep. Pressley is at the mic — “THIS is what we're gonna dismantle? What in the hell kind of government efficiency is that?”
