Pressley Introduces Amendments to Improve NDAA, Support Vulnerable Servicemembers and Communities
Republicans should stop trying to rush through their Big, Ugly Bill that would make millions of families poorer, sicker, & hungrier.
Instead, they should listen to their constituents.
Folks like Layla, whose family could go bankrupt trying to keep her alive if Medicaid gets gutted.
We`ll keep fighting to stop this cruel bill in its tracks, because it is NOT an inevitability.
Under the cover of night, Senate Republicans advanced their Big, Ugly Bill.
The same bill that would rip food & healthcare away from millions, and further restrict abortion access nationwide.
All to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. Shameful.
Last month @SecScottBessent told me a tariff exemption on essential baby products was under consideration.
No exemption has been announced & the cost of these goods have risen thanks to Trump’s chaotic tariffs.
We’re demanding action NOW because our families need this relief.
This cruel, political, and unjust ruling is absolutely damning.
The court is going to rob patients & mothers of their lives and put essential healthcare further out of reach for millions.
For U.S. citizens or permanent residents who need support evacuating Israel or Iran – please use these resources.
And please refer to the U.S. Embassy’s website for up-to-date information.
You can also reach my Boston office at (617) 850-0040 for casework support.
The legal tactics against @RepLaMonica are nothing more than a smear campaign to silence an honorable, duly elected Black Congresswoman.
But it won’t work.
We will continue standing with Congresswoman McIver & against Trump’s attempts to publish Members for conducting oversight and doing their jobs.
Storytelling is powerful.
It guides our abortion justice movement and sets the frame for how deep our policies should go.
Three years since Dobbs, we joined @RepMcClellan to hear directly from people impacted by cruel abortion bans and denials of essential medical care.
I want my kid to grow up in a world where she has every right & freedom we grew up with, & more.
Where she can get the healthcare she needs with dignity.
Abortion care is healthcare and a fundamental human right.
3 years ago, the SCOTUS ripped away our right to bodily autonomy, and the fallout has been devastating.
Now, we face a hostile Administration doubling down on ripping away essential healthcare from millions.
This unjust status quo is not an inevitability.
Today, we recommit to building a just America where abortion justice is realized and everyone can get the care they need in their own community.
