The irony that cutting Elon off might be the only actual efficient thing we’ve seen Trump do.

Trump's new travel ban is a shameful attack on the most vulnerable people in the world. These folks are drowning, and Trump just ripped a life jacket from them and tied weights around their ankles. We'll fight this racist policy in the courts, in Congress, and in community.

Elon Musk illegally fired thousands of workers and tried to dismantle our government. I voted to subpoena him in @oversightdemocrats.house.gov, because the people deserve accountability. We won't let him get away with it.

📢 MA-07: We're holding our next town hall in Chelsea on Monday, June 16 at 7pm. Join us as we discuss Trump and Republicans' harmful agenda and the ways we're fighting back. RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/e/town-hall-....

Trump is attacking Harvard & other nonprofits because they disagree with him. This is about punishing dissent. It’s about silencing nonprofits that serve vulnerable people & our communities. It's about sowing fear. This is authoritarianism, plain & simple. And it's unlawful.

This is disrespectful. The Trump Administration continues to whitewash our history but they cannot and will not erase the contributions of civil rights leaders who fought for our most vulnerable.

Another damning confirmation of how harmful Republicans' Big Ugly Bill would be. 10.9 million *more* people would lose life-saving healthcare just to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. The cruelty is the point and the Senate must reject this shameful bill. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Yesterday, while ICE officials smugly touted the arrest of nearly 1,500 people in Massachusetts over the past month, I convened immigrant families from my district who have been unjustly harmed by Trump’s cruel and unlawful mass deportation agenda.

No one should ever be denied the emergency medical care they need—period. But Trump's HHS is erasing guidance that affirmed protections for abortion care during medical emergencies. This is cruel, callous, and outright dangerous.

Good. No one should have their Social Security checks seized—ever. Now, let's pass my bill with @booker.senate.gov & @warren.senate.gov to end garnishment as a tool for student debt collection and do away with this cruel, ineffective practice once and for all.

We will NOT stand by while Trump and ICE terrorize our communities and carry out their cruel, unlawful mass deportation agenda. Today, I convened advocates, impacted families, and local leaders to tell them loud and clear: Hands off our immigrant neighbors.

The antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado is horrifying and unacceptable. Violence against innocent people is never the answer. It will never bring justice for anyone and we must do everything to root it out. I pray for the victims, their loved ones, and everyone impacted.

Today I joined @pressley.house.gov, @gigi4district1.bsky.social, @saldidomenico.bsky.social, Rep. Adrian Madaro, @electerika.bsky.social and more community advocates for a round table discussion on the unlawful immigration tactics of the Trump administration impacting our very own communities. 1/2

Donald Trump wants to sow fear & chaos in our communities so we feel alone & defeated — but we won't let him. Tune in as I join immigrant justice advocates, local leaders, & impacted families to tell Trump & ICE: Hands off our immigrant neighbors. www.facebook.com/share/v/16gb...

I’ve recently joined Substack to cut through the noise and update you on how I’m fighting back against this callous & harmful administration. Follow for updates, posts, & interviews exclusively on Substack: substack.com/@reppressley.

Thousands of dedicated federal workers have been unlawfully fired by Donald Trump & Elon Musk. We won't stop pushing until all of our federal workers are reinstated and made whole with the dignity & respect they deserve.

This Minority Health Awareness Month, I took to the House floor to call out how Trump's White House is making communities of color more vulnerable. Our greatest wealth as a nation is the health of our people — and Black health matters.

In this moment of anti-Blackness on steroids, we’re not backing down in our pursuit of racial justice. Proud to join @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s resolution to demand #ReparationsNOW.

The same way private prisons profit from mass incarceration, private detention centers profit from mass deportation. So it's no surprise that Trump's "border czar" is profiting off Trump's cruel and inhumane mass deportation agenda. We must call this brazen corruption out.

Thank you @pressley.house.gov for leading the fight to ensure disabled people can gain reproductive equity!

Trump's attacks on Harvard and international students are harmful and creating fear on campuses. And they are particularly damaging to Massachusetts, which hosts over 80,000 foreign students. I'm joining @warren.senate.gov and our delegation to demand answers and fight back.

Reproductive justice & disability justice are inextricably linked. With Republicans attacking Medicaid and reproductive freedom, I'm reintroducing my resolution affirming equitable access to reproductive care for people with disabilities.

Donald Trump's chaotic tariffs haven't just wrecked our economy and harmed consumers. They're also illegal. We're fighting back in the courts, and we're winning. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good riddance. We will hold you accountable for your corruption and the harm you caused.

Dr. Hailey Evans is a neonatologist and one of my constituents from Jamaica Plain. She recently wrote to my office about the devastating impacts Republican Medicaid cuts would have for our postpartum patients and babies in the #MA7 and nationwide.

Medicaid is healthcare. SNAP is food assistance. Both are lifelines and we're not done fighting for them. The Senate must reject Republicans' Big Ugly Bill and protect our families.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on facts and science, not RFK Jr.'s political, conspiracy theorist agenda. This is dangerous and will endanger the lives of mothers and babies alike. Secretary Kennedy must reverse course immediately. abcnews.link/ZkXBYUz

Last week, RJ Champions in Congress including @pressley.house.gov reintroduced legislation to address rising maternal mortality rates. Let’s dig into the HEALTH for MOM Act:

Memorial Day is more than a kick start to summer or an excuse to barbecue. It's a day of solemn remembrance for those who never returned home. To our fallen servicemembers and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.

George Floyd should still be alive today. As we mark the five year anniversary of his murder, I am proud to join @pressley.house.gov to reintroduce our Ending Qualified Immunity Act. No one is above the law.

It’s been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered & our communities are still plagued by mass incarceration, police brutality, & overcriminalization. That's why I’m reintroducing bold legislation to continue our push toward accountability, healing, & our collective liberation.

We’ll never have true justice for George Floyd. True justice would be George Floyd alive today. We owe it to George, his family, and everyone murdered by law enforcement to continue building a more just America where everyone can thrive & live free from fear.
