Trump's retaliatory firing of my constituent Ellen for exercising free speech is egregious & dangerous. That’s why I’m fighting for Ellen & every federal worker unjustly fired. USDA must immediately reinstate her & allow her to continue serving our communities and country.

The cruelty is the point. Instead of ensuring families are fed after he refused to fund SNAP, the Trump Admin is doubling down on the harm. They are actively trying to make it harder for people to put food on the table. It's shameful.

The Trump admin to require millions of low-income people to reapply for food stamps as part of an effort to crack down on “fraud," Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said.

BIG NEWS: After 7 weeks of being stonewalled by Speaker Johnson, Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva has officially been sworn in—giving us the last signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. We won't stop fighting for the healing & accountability that survivors deserve.

Trump administration prepares to fire worker for TV interview about SNAP

The employee warned that the shutdown could have negative impacts on the millions of Americans who rely on the federal government to put food on the table.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 13(source)

While families scrambled to feed their kids during Republicans' govt shutdown, Trump and USDA were trying to silence SNAP workers like Ellen from speaking out. This retaliatory firing is egregious and a violation of her right to free speech. She must be reinstated immediately.

A Washington Post article headline that reads: Trump administration prepares to fire worker for TV interview about SNAP.

This spending bill is a fundamental betrayal of the people, and I voted NO. Shame on every member of Congress who voted to deny a child their medication or to tear away life-saving cancer treatment. The people deserve so much better, and this fight isn't over.

¡El fin! After 50 days of Speaker Johnson delaying her swearing in, we can finally welcome our new Democratic colleague to the House, Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Congrats to Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva on your long-overdue swearing-in! With you in Congress, the people of Arizona's 7th now have a voice in the halls of power. And we now have the 218th signature we need to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

These emails are damning. It's clear Trump knew about Epstein's abuse. It's time to release the full Epstein files NOW, hold a hearing with survivors, and end this White House cover-up once and for all.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

I’m back in DC to vote NO on the Republican funding bill. No one should be forced to choose between healthcare and food. The people deserve so much better. I won’t stop fighting for you and your families.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 12(source)

I'm not giving up the fight to save healthcare. The people deserve nothing less.

It's always an honor to spend Veterans Day at the Puerto Rican Veterans Memorial in the South End. Thank you to the over 200,000 Boricuas who have served our country, & to Tony Molina for preserving their legacy. We're lucky to have this one-of-a-kind memorial here in the #MA7.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 11(source)

We must remember to honor our veterans not just with words, but with action. And our veterans, many with visible & invisible wounds, deserve the gratitude and benefits they earned. That includes healthcare, food assistance, housing, dignity in their daily lives, & more.

A tweet by Rep. Pressley that reads:

This Veterans Day, instead of uplifting our veterans, Trump & Republicans are letting them go hungry.

1.2M veterans need SNAP benefits to feed themselves & their families, as do 13% of active military personnel.

This is intentional policy harm, and they deserve better.

A tweet by Rep. Pressley that reads:

Our veterans deserve to be met with dignity, respect & the benefits they rightfully earned.

But Trump & Republicans have refused to extend vital healthcare subsidies, meaning 267,000 veterans could lose health coverage.

This isn't how we care for those who've served our country & communities.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 11(source)

Grateful to start my Veteran's Day in Cambridge honoring the sacrifices and contributions of our #MA7 veterans. Thank you to Army Veteran Kevin Lambert for his service, and his essential role helping our veterans live healthy, stable, dignified lives.

Happy Veterans Day! Our veterans are defenders of democracy & freedom, and our communities are stronger thanks to their service, contributions, & sacrifices. I'll never stop fighting for them to live with dignity, respect, quality healthcare, adequate housing, and so much more.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 10(source)

Trump's refusal to fully fund SNAP will have devastating impacts on our local economies, urban farmers, & food sellers. Including Davey's in Roxbury, a staple since 1983. Trump's violent policy choice to let people go hungry is harming their business and the families they feed.

This is a victory for our LGBTQ+ neighbors and everyone in America. Marriage equality will remain the law of the land, and I’ll never stop fighting to affirm that #LoveIsLove.

People want their members of Congress to fight for them with everything we've got. Senate Democrats should listen and reject this funding deal that does nothing to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing.
