Molly McGovern lived life authentically and gave others courage to do the same. Molly was a light and force for good. She was deeply loving and kind. She loved her family. Conan & I extend our heartfelt condolences to our friends @repmcgovern.bsky.social, Lisa, & Patrick. Molly will be so missed.

What we saw & heard in Louisiana was harrowing. It was heartbreaking & it is enraging. Our visit was about accountability, transparency, & affirming that no one in America should have their constitutional rights to free speech & due process ripped away. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj6Heu7L/

To Rümeysa, Mahmoud, and everyone who has been harmed by this lawless White House: we see you and we won't stop fighting for you. To Donald Trump: your abuses of power and attacks on our constitutional rights will NOT go unchecked.

This is what leadership looks like. Thank you to @markey.senate.gov, @pressley.house.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social for demanding the release of Rümeysa Öztürk. Her ongoing unlawful detention is a retaliatory attack on her First Amendment rights. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/n...

We can't stand by while the Trump Administration violates free speech and unlawfully detains people with no due process. I’m in Louisiana to meet directly with my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk & Mahmoud Khalil, to demand accountability, and to call for their immediate release.

This #EarthDay, we must all commit to fighting Trump's unconscionable attacks to gut our country’s most fundamental environmental & public health protections. This is our planet, our power, and we will organize & fight for a safe, livable home for us all.

Pope Francis was a compassionate man who centered the dignity & humanity of all people. He practiced his faith in word and deed until the very end. I thank God for the blessing of his life, and I mourn his loss alongside all people of faith and conscience.

It’s past time we legalize marijuana federally, expunge records, & end the War on Drugs. On 4/20 & every day, let’s remember that cannabis justice is racial, economic, & restorative justice.

Legalize. Expunge. End the War on Drugs.

During this district work week, I visited our elders at Massachusetts Senior Action Council & Fuller Village to update them on our work in Congress. With Trump & Musk coming after Social Security & other essential programs, I'll never stop fighting for our seniors & their right to age with dignity.

Every child deserves to thrive—not carry the weight of their trauma for a lifetime. I reintroduced the STRONG Support for Children Act to break cycles of trauma, invest in healing, and ensure our kids get the care and support they deserve.

A graphic that reads:

Rep. Pressley reintroduces STRONG Support for Children Act to address childhood trauma

A quote from Rep. Ayanna Pressley on the reintroduction of her STRONG Support for Children Act that reads:

“Every child deserves to thrive. The STRONG Support for Children Act would provide critical resources and approach childhood trauma through a reparative, healing-centered, and trauma-informed lens. Children too often carry the weight of trauma throughout their entire lives because these wounds don’t just heal on their own. With this legislation, we will invest in breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and ensure children are supported.”

Absolutely not. Head Start is essential for babies and families here in the #MA7 & across the country. This White House should immediately reverse course & reinstate the dedicated federal workers that support Head Start.

The Trump administration’s attacks on our universities are lawless. Education and scientific research are essential, and denying funding for them will cost us lives & undermine our democracy. This is the right call from Harvard. And together, we must all fight back. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

The Promise of American Higher Education

No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue

In the Oval Office, Trump suggested deporting citizens with criminal records. In the court of law, Trump is a rapist with 34 felony convictions.
