Honored to pay my respects to President Jimmy Carter today. His compassion, humility, and commitment to public service remain an example to us all. Let's honor his legacy by continuing his work to build a more just, equitable, and peaceful world.
Getting sick should never ruin someone financially. This historic action from the CFPB will advance economic justice by boosting the credit scores of millions, ending abusive debt collection practices, & helping folks obtain loans. More life-changing work from an essential agency.

CFPB’s Medical Debt Rule

The CFPB just issued a rule to remove medical debt from credit reports. Here's how that impacts you.
A graphic that reads:

Background: 

Medical debt has burdened millions of people & has made it more difficult for folks to access credit to purchase a home, buy a car, rent an apartment, & more.

Debt collectors have also abused the credit system to coerce people into paying medical debt they don't even owe by lowering their credit scores.
A graphic that reads:

CFPB’s Rule: 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has finalized a new rule to remove medical bills from consumer credit reports.

It will ban the inclusion of medical bills on credit reports and prohibit lenders from using medical information in their lending decisions.

The rule will also prevent debt collectors from using the credit reporting system to coerce people to pay bills they don’t owe.
A graphic that reads:

Impact: 

The new medical debt rule will remove $49 billion in medical debt from the credit reports of more than 15 million people.

This historic action will advance economic justice by boosting the credit scores of millions, ending abusive debt collection practices, and helping folks obtain loans.

This is more life-changing work from an essential agency.
4 years ago, a violent mob incited by Trump attacked our democracy. And today, our democracy is still threatened by the harm he has promised to deliver in his next term. We'll never stop pursuing accountability & telling the story of what happened that day. My full statement:
A cover title that reads: Rep. Pressley’s Statement on Fourth Anniversary of January 6th Insurrection
Rep. Pressley’s Statement on Fourth Anniversary of January 6th Insurrection (1/2):

“Four years ago, threatened by a violent mob incited by Donald Trump, our democracy was under attack. And today, our democracy is still threatened by the harm he has promised to deliver in his next term.
 
“Trump’s return to the highest office in the land, despite his central role in the insurrection, is a gut punch to anyone who cares about our democracy—but it does not absolve us of our responsibility to pursue accountability and continue telling the story of what happened that day. Our Capitol was violently attacked. Police officers lost their lives that day and in the aftermath.
Rep. Pressley’s Statement on Fourth Anniversary of January 6th Insurrection (2/2):

“So, as we reflect on the anniversary of the January 6th attack and vote to certify the 2024 presidential election, I remain as committed as ever to using every tool at my disposal — legislation, oversight, and mobilization — to do just that.
 
“For everyone impacted that day — including the Congressional staff, facilities workers, Capitol Police, members of Congress, and the public writ large — we must never get complacent, never back down in our pursuit of accountability, and never stop working to prevent a damning event like that from ever happening again.”
We may have a new Congress, but Democrats still control the White House and must move with urgency before January 20. In the final days of his presidency, I urge President Biden to continue using his clemency authority to reunite families and set them on a pathway to healing.
Today, we celebrate Haitian Independence Day—a testament to the strength, courage, & revolutionary spirit of the Haitian community. As Co-Chair of the House Haiti Caucus, I’m proud to stand with our Haitian siblings in MA & beyond, honoring their fight for freedom & justice. 🇭🇹
Heartbroken by the horrific attack in New Orleans last night. This is no way to begin the new year and violence like this must always be condemned. I'm praying for the victims, their loved ones, and everyone impacted.
Those closest to the pain should always be closest to the power, driving and informing the policymaking. In 2024, we introduced 40 pieces of legislation and used the power of the pen and Congressional oversight to make important progress for the #MA7 and beyond.
This year, we fought hard to secure over $13M in community project funding for the #MA7. From affordable housing, childcare, climate justice, economic development, & more, these investments will change lives. Proud to have partnered with community to deliver these resources.
As we start our end of year recap, here are some #MA7 highlights from my team: We closed over 600 constituent cases, helping folks with passports, tax refunds & more. We responded to 48,300 constituent letters. And we held over 230 community events & met people where they are.
A graphic that reads:

End of Year District Highlights 

-Responded to 48,300 constituent letters
-Over 600 constituent service cases closed
-Held over 230 high-impact community events
Happy #Kwanzaa to everyone celebrating and honoring the seven principles: —Unity —Self-Determination —Collective Responsibility —Cooperative Economics —Purpose —Creativity —Faith How are you actualizing them this holiday season?
Families & survivors of homicide victims deserve our unwavering recognition. My resolution with @markey.senate.gov to establish National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month sends a powerful signal to survivors that we see them & we won't stop fighting to address gun violence.
