Pressley, Warren, McGovern, Markey Push Stop & Shop Parent Company on Price Gouging Concerns in Massachusetts Communities
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.

Republicans are pushing a bill to try 14-year-olds in DC as adults.
This doesn’t make communities safer—it only traumatizes children & perpetuates racism.
Just ask the Exonerated 5.
If they really cared about safety, they’d support trauma-informed solutions & violence prevention programs.

@SecRubio, did you direct Netanyahu to surge aid and baby formula to Gaza?
Because families are desperate and photo ops to do not save lives.
Entire families are being murdered and babies are being starved. My colleagues and I are appealing to you — act NOW.

This ruling affirms what we’ve known: Trump’s attempt to fire Governor Lisa Cook is unlawful.
The courts must preserve the Fed’s independence & rein in Trump’s brazen power grab.
I look forward to Governor Cook participating in tomorrow’s Fed meeting.

My demand to Chairman Powell is clear: the Federal Reserve must take action to uphold its mandate of maximum employment for ALL workers.
And he MUST affirm the Fed’s independence, including from unlawful firings like that of Lisa Cook.

I’m grateful for the Everett Haitian Community Center’s work day in and day out serving our community & supporting our youth.
It was great to visit & celebrate recent graduates of their summer advocacy program.
