Thank you @pressley.house.gov for continuously speaking out against cuts to SNAP! SNAP is essential for families and individuals in MA and nationwide.
Republicans’ reconciliation bill would gut SNAP & increase food insecurity in the #MA7 & nationwide. I asked my GOP colleagues if any of them are willing to vote NO and make sure that children, people with disabilities, & veterans don’t go hungry. Their silence was deafening.
Republicans' budget sham is a direct attack on reproductive healthcare. It would gut Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood, worsen the maternal morbidity crisis, & leave millions without essential care. We will defend your reproductive freedom and do everything to stop this bill.
Right now, Energy & Commerce Committee Republicans are trying to force through cuts to Medicaid, "defund" Planned Parenthood, and attack reproductive care. Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov and @pressley.house.gov are proud to join @energycommerce.bsky.social in saying NO WAY. Read our full statement👇
Trump has attacked women, mothers, and families since day one. DWC Chair @fernandez.house.gov and DWC Member @pressley.house.gov are joining MomsRising and Mamás Con Poder to answer your questions and share how we’re fighting for women. RSVP ⬇️ www.mobilize.us/momsrising/e...
For 24 hours, @caringacross.org held a vigil with advocates & families that rely on Medicaid. Folks shared their stories & their fears if Republicans slash Medicaid and rip away healthcare from millions. Medicaid is a lifeline & we CANNOT let Republicans’ cruel bill become law.

"I am so excited to get back to my studies, community, professors, and students." Rümeysa Öztürk was welcomed back to Massachusetts by @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and her Tufts community following 45 agonizing days unjustly detained by ICE for writing an op-ed. 📸 Libby O'Neill

I'm relieved to learn that American Edan Alexander has been released and is headed to reunite with his family. It is dire and urgent that humanitarian aid into Gaza resume and an immediate and lasting ceasefire is desperately needed to save lives. Our destinies are truly tied.
Republicans want to eliminate the FERS supplement – a retirement benefit that helps career public servants make ends meet before Social Security kicks in. It's a lifeline, especially for veterans & employees with disabilities. Ripping it away from them is not only cruel, it is unnecessary.
Happy Mother's Day! Today I'm thinking of the families who've lost loved ones to homicide. TY Louis D. Brown Peace Institute for convening us at your annual Mother's Day Walk for Peace, a beloved tradition & reminder of the Work that remains to address gun violence & advance healing.

Our elders have spent their lives building our communities, and they deserve to age with dignity, security, and humanity. As Trump, Musk, and Republicans threaten to gut Medicaid, Social Security, and other essential programs, we cannot and will not stand by.
We are united in a shared struggle to disrupt poverty. Because in America, your zip code should not determine your destiny. I joined Mayor Kim Janey and Disrupt Poverty in Washington, DC to affirm that moral mandate and our Work to make that a reality.

To the Republicans who say they oppose slashing Medicaid and food assistance: It's time to put your money where your mouth is. I signed on to a @housedemocrats.bsky.social measure to force a vote on preventing the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in American history.
Trump’s abrupt firing of Dr. Carla Hayden—a history-making Librarian of Congress—is a disgrace. This is just the latest in the GOP's anti-Black assault on truth, education, & history, and firing her will only undermine the Library of Congress as a public good. She deserved better.
BREAKING: President Donald Trump abruptly fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. The dismissal was disclosed in statements from three top House Democrats and confirmed by a separate person familiar with the matter.
With Trump carrying out a coordinated assault on our shared history, it’s imperative that we support our local museums. TY to the Museum of African American History & our leaders for their partnership in telling this hostile, anti-Black White House: hands off our museums & hands off our history.
