Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley

IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti. This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors. To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you. The Senate must pick this up without delay.

Democrats have a mandate from the people and our new majority must meet the moment. That means governing boldly and using our gavels to deliver accountability for the corruption, cruelty, and harm inflicted by Trump and Republicans over the past two years.

Happy Veterans Day! Our veterans deserve more than words. They deserve affordable healthcare, housing, hot meals, strong benefits & to age with dignity. Democrats will use our majority to center their humanity, honor their sacrifices, & undo the policy harm of the past 2 years.

House Republicans just made Jim Jordan their Minority Leader. The same guy who: —Helped plan & execute Jan 6 —Has covered up the Epstein files —Wants to ban abortion nationwide —Voted to gut Social Security & Medicare —Is a Trump loyalist Republicans are doubling down on far-right, MAGA extremism.

Wishing a happy Diwali to our neighbors celebrating in the #MA7 and around the world!   May this holiday be full of love, light, and joy for all.

Pete Hegseth is unqualified and unfit to serve as Defense Secretary. His unconstitutional war in Iran has cost the lives of servicemembers and civilians abroad while hurting people here at home and their ability to afford everyday life. He must resign or be impeached.

Democrats, this is our time. We have a mandate from the people to match their energy, and we must meet the moment.

I first ran for the Boston City Council to fight for women & save our girls. Now I'm entering my fifth term in Congress as part of a historic @DemWomenCaucus that will have 100+ members. I look forward to serving with these powerful, justice-seeking women in the 120th Congress.

The people proved what is possible when folks of good conscience link arms & fight for our shared humanity. They delivered a powerful rejection of the cruelty, callousness & corruption of the past 2 years. And a mandate for bold, responsive policies that go as far as the hurt our communities face.

Mass incarceration & mass deportation are two sides of the same evil coin. This for-profit infrastructure is for child abuse, family separation, & intergenerational trauma. Democrats have a mandate to abolish ICE, shut down detention centers like Dilley, & hold corporations like CoreCivic accountable.

To our Temporary Protected Status holders: We have not forgotten about you. Our communities & country wouldn't be the same without your talents, skills & contributions. Under a Democratic majority, we'll keep fighting to protect this essential lifeline & keep families together.

Our new Democratic majority must meet the moment. That means holding Trump and Republicans accountable, defending our democracy, & moving aggressively to deliver the responsive policies the people deserve. Massachusetts Seventh, I'm ready to do just that.

For too long, people from every walk of life have screamed into the void wondering whether their elected leaders hear them, see their pain, & would fight for them. Democrats have an opportunity to heed their calls. We must use our power and deliver on their mandate.

When Democrats have the power, we have to use it. Universal childcare. Paid leave. Medicare for All. Abolishing ICE. No more incrementalism or moderating our aspirations. We need to do the work of repair, restoration, and reconstruction.

Trump is elevating a literal white supremacist who is the architect of his cruel, callous agenda. The same agenda that the people overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box. We'll fight their hateful policies at every turn & hold them accountable for the harm they have caused.

This is a huge win for our movement to end capital punishment. The death penalty is flawed, racist, ineffective, and immoral. @CAgovernor’s decision to commute the death sentences of over 500+ people was the right thing to do.

My message to Democrats is simple: When we have the power, we have to use it. Please don't tell me about a majority—SHOW me what a majority can do. A people-powered majority with a mandate for justice, a mandate for compassion, and a mandate for progress.

Failures in student loan servicing have been costly for families, & states have been sounding the alarm. But instead of tackling these problems, Trump & the WWE Secretary have enabled more to occur. @SenWarren & I are leading 31 colleagues demanding answers & immediate action.
