BREAKING: Pressley Measure to Extend Haiti TPS Adopted by House
Shameful and cowardly.
Trump wants the @USDAGov to stop collecting data on food insecurity because he knows hunger will spike after his Big, Ugly Bill kicks millions of families off food assistance.
Cities and states deserve swift, reliable relief following a terrorist attack.
After the Boston marathon bombing, our community knows that all too well.
That’s why we must reauthorize and strengthen the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act to support businesses & workers reeling from tragedies.
Our women deserve a world of healing—not one of shame, suffering, & pain.
We met with @LupitaNyongo & @MandyMooreMM to discuss why we should be investing in women’s health research, not cutting it.
I voted NO on Trump and Republicans’ spending bill that will make families poorer, sicker & more vulnerable.
We have a healthcare crisis thanks to their Big, Ugly Bill, which ripped away Medicaid from millions & will raise healthcare costs—& this bill does nothing about it.
I won’t be complicit.
The occupant of the White House is coming after our free speech.
He wants to dictate what you can watch, what you can say, & what you can read.
This is a five alarm fire for our First Amendment rights and anyone who cares about our democracy.
Trump’s militarization of DC is not about safety.
It’s about suppressing Black leadership, stopping Black progress & criminalizing Black & brown youth.
If Republicans actually cared about safety, they’d invest in prevention, mental health, & community-based supports that keep people safe. #FreeDC
Trump just inexplicably canceled the $20M grant we secured for the Roxbury Transit Corridor.
This is a critical investment, allocated by Congress, that would improve the daily lives of commuters, enhance climate resilience, & strengthen our communities.
This fight isn’t over & we will push back.
The #MA7 is vibrant, diverse, and full of culture in part thanks to the rich Hispanic & Latinx communities who call it home.
They are community leaders, movement builders, justice seekers, service members, & more — and I’m so proud to represent them in the halls of Congress.
Today, @USHouseFSC held an urgent roundtable to address Trump’s attacks on the Federal Reserve’s independence.
We must rein in Trump’s brazen power grab, including his unlawful attempt to fire Gov. Lisa Cook.
Rumeysa, saying goodbye is deeply bittersweet. From the moment we met behind the wall, I felt an immediate kinship with you. Even in the midst of trauma, fear, and uncertainty, your light shone through. You spoke first not about yourself, but about the women detained alongside
This is a massive victory for 350,000 Haitian families who call our country home, and shows what we can achieve when we work together.
I will always fight in Congress to ensure our communities are protected from Trump's attacks. Now, on to the Senate!
Meet Saint Paul, Haitian TPS holder, father, and SEIU-32BJ member who lives in the Boston area.
On 4/29, SCOTUS will hear arguments on the unlawful efforts to revoke TPS for Haiti and Syria.
As we fight to protect TPS, it is folks like Saint Paul that we’re fighting for.
Rümeysa, saying goodbye is deeply bittersweet. From the moment we met behind the wall, I felt an immediate kinship with you. Even in the midst of trauma, fear, and uncertainty, your light shone through. You spoke first not about yourself, but about the women detained alongside you—carrying their stories in your heart and in carefully written notes, like the brilliant researcher you are.
What Donald Trump and his administration subjected you to is a shameful injustice, and it will always be a stain on American history. Like so many, you were criminalized for exercising your First Amendment rights. You were incarcerated for seeing the dignity and humanity of the Palestinian people. And you were forced to endure unspeakable trauma as part of their coordinated attempt to intimidate, instill fear, and rip away the fundamental rights of everyone who calls this country home.
But despite it all, you persevered. You pressed forward, finishing your studies and contributing to our community through your scholarship, advocacy, and humanity.
You deserved so much better.
Thank you for everything you gave to our Commonwealth and country, and for the courage and compassion you showed in even the darkest moments. Please know that the Massachusetts 7th will always be your home, and I will be forever proud to call you my constituent and fight for your rights. ... See MoreSee Less
