Housing is not just a home—it is dignity, health, protection, stability, wealth, community & political power. I joined @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @cleaver.house.gov, & housing advocates to strategize how we can push back as Trump dismantles HUD, evictions rise, & Black homeownership declines.

Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Emanuel Cleaver, & Jonathan Jackson listen to housing advocates during a roundtable discussion.

I'm proud the #MA7 is a national leader in the artificial intelligence industry. Our startups, investors, researchers & students know how essential diversity in AI jobs is to confront bias, maximize opportunity, & ensure AI works for all. Happy AI Week, Boston!

Under Trump, nearly 320,000 Black women have been pushed out of the workforce. This is an economic & moral crisis with dangerous consequences to Black women, Black families, & Black futures. We're demanding the Fed do its job to ensure maximum employment for ALL, including Black women.

ICE must immediately release Paul from this unnecessary detention. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Local restaurateur Paul Dama granted asylum after more than 3 months in ICE custody

Dama survived abduction by Boko Haram and said he feared returning to his native Nigeria.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govSep 24(source)

The Court has affirmed what we already knew to be true: Paul Dama deserves to call the #MA7 home. After ICE abducted him, a vacuum was left behind. I am grateful to our community, who showed up in numbers to reciprocate Paul’s love and immeasurable contributions.

Thank you BCNC for the tour and to the educators and staff for providing a lifeline to our communities every day.

Accessible, high-quality early childhood education is essential to the success of our babies. With the White House attacking Head Start & gutting education resources, I’m proud to deliver $425K for the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center to keep supporting families in Chinatown & across the #MA7.

L’Shana Tovah! Wishing our neighbors and friends in the #MA7 and beyond a sweet new year full of community, reflection, and restoration.

Shameful and cowardly. Trump wants the USDA 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.

The Washington Post

@washingtonpost.com

Open post ↗

The Trump administration is ending a decades-long effort to track food security, calling it “politicized,” at a time when many Americans are struggling to get proper nutrition or enough to eat.

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.

Ending TPS for Haiti could be a death sentence for families in Massachusetts and across the country. Our Haitian neighbors have contributed so much to our communities, and there is nothing temporary about them. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Haitians facing 'hard situation' as Trump administration tries to end legal status early

Haitians on temporary status soon to expire face a tough choice: stay here illegally, go home to a perilous situation or start over in a new country.

Our women deserve a world of healing—not one of shame, suffering, & pain. We met with Lupita Nyongo & Mandy Moore to discuss why we should be investing in women's health research, not cutting it.

Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Bonnie Watson Coleman participate in a roundtable discussion on women's health research.

It's a damning commentary that our Everett community can't gather to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month because of Trump's criminalization of our immigrant neighbors. They deserve better. www.wbur.org/news/2025/09...

Everett calls off annual Hispanic Heritage Month festival due to ICE fears

Everett called off its Fiesta Del Rio celebration due to concerns about the recent increase in ICE raids in the Boston area.

Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction & ongoing targeting by Trump is egregious. Trump is weaponizing our courts to persecute students exercising their First Amendment rights—just as a dictator would do. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Immigration judge orders Mahmoud Khalil deported to Syria or Algeria

Lawyers for the pro-Palestinian activist said they plan to appeal the immigration judge’s order, which was revealed in court documents filed Wednesday.

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.

Trump is unlawfully trying to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, without cause, so he can appoint a partisan loyalist. Now he wants his co-conspirators on the Supreme Court to help him. The Court must follow the law & reject this brazen power grab. Gov. Cook belongs at the table.

The Washington Post

@washingtonpost.com

Open post ↗

Breaking news: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. The unprecedented move would give the president greater power over the central bank and its role in steering the U.S. economy.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govSep 18(source)

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
