NEW: @pressley.house.gov is calling on Eversource and National Grid to suspend utility shutoffs for federal workers & contractors in Massachusetts impacted by Republicans' government shutdown. There are an estimated 45,000 federal workers in MA missing paychecks and unable to pay their bills.

It’s time! Make sure your voice is heard and vote on Tuesday, September 9th. Thank you Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social 💜

NEW in @nbcnews.com: @ayannapressley.bsky.social is demanding Fed Chair Powell address the rising Black women's unemployment rate and uphold the Fed's mandate of maximum employment for all. “When the rest of the country gets a cold, Black folks get pneumonia.” www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

“[Rümeysa Öztürk’s] only so-called crime is co-authoring an op-ed centering the humanity of all people.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social speaks with @pressley.house.gov on the detainment of Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University student arrested for writing an op-ed on Palestine.

YNWA 🏆🔥🏆🔥🏆🔥

We're disappearing college students because their opinions are deemed threats to foreign policy as the Trump Administration is literally sharing classified information and military strikes on an unsecured Signal chat with journalists.

This is a horrifying violation of Rumeysa's constitutional rights to due process and free speech. She must be immediately released. And we won't stand by while the Trump Administration continues to abduct students with legal status and attack our fundamental freedoms.

Full house, standing ovations, and good dance moves at @ayannapressley.bsky.social's town hall in Roxbury today.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Yes, we Beat LA.

Impactful constituent services, it all starts here.

Doris was dealing with health issues & needed her fiancé’s support, as well as his safety from humanitarian challenges in Nigeria. After contacting our office, we helped expedite her fiancé’s visa & they were reunited last month. #MA7, we're here to help: Pressley.House.Gov or 617-850-0040.

“I'm so tired of these billionaire boys and their grubby little hands grabbing at everything,” @pressley.house.gov told protestors outside Treasury last night. “Hands off our data. Hands off our tax refunds. Hands off our SS checks. Hands off our Constitution. Hands off our democracy. HANDS. OFF!”

This is not normal. No one elected Musk—but Trump is letting him raid classified material and people's private financial information. A billionaire with his own motives and foreign entanglements. This is a dangerous, unprecedented power grab. apnews.com/article/doge...

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and Republicans want to censor our history and ignore the systemic oppression of Black folks. But Black history is American history, and no amount of white-washing or erasure will change that.

Honored to continue serving on Financial Services & Oversight & Government Reform — two powerful venues for advancing economic relief & accountability. With the Trump Admin poised to inflict harm on our communities, I'll keep fighting to hold bad actors accountable & center the people of the #MA7.

"I don't know what God you serve, but the God I serve is one of love and mercy." Thank you, @pressley.house.gov, for always speaking truth to power and fighting for grieving families. We do this work because of our faith, not in spite of it.

Once again we have ignorant, uninformed men — who think they know better than doctors & mothers — taking to the House floor to deny us our medical care. This time with a bill that criminalizes our doctors & robs mothers of the chance to hold a baby w/ a fatal diagnosis. youtube.com/shorts/jwuFs...

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

📢Know Your Rights! Communities across the country are dealing with the fear and threat of immigration raids. To our immigrant neighbors and families, I am so sorry you are facing this cruelty and targeting, and our office is here as a resource.

Dr. King did tell us that organizing is our most powerful weapon,” Pressley told attendees. “And as we face the challenges of another Trump presidency, we will need radical love and your cooperative spirit now more than ever.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

The Celtics are officially going through it and it's not looking good ...

Deeply honored to succeed Rep. Barbara Lee and join @degette.house.gov as Co-Chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social. I’m more resolved than ever to protect, restore, and expand reproductive freedom for all. Let’s get to work.

4 years ago, a violent mob incited by Trump attacked our democracy. And today, our democracy is still threatened by the harm he has promised to deliver in his next term. We'll never stop pursuing accountability & telling the story of what happened that day. My full statement:

More Tiziana Dearing on the airwaves is always a win for #mapoli

It is an honor and a joy to head into my fourth term as your Congresswoman. Walking in to the Capitol today thinking of everyone who calls the Massachusetts 7th home.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate 🎄🎁☘️🏀

@ayannapressley.bsky.social praises Biden's death penalty commutations and urges more moves before Trump takes office. “Wherever you fall on the issue of the death penalty in terms of whether it’s fair or not, what is undeniable is it has not been fairly applied.” www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

We are grateful for @reppressley.bsky.social perseverance on this issue. Thank you!

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) have sent a letter to acting Assistant Attorney General Brent Cohen demanding victims and families of police violence be granted access to the Department of Justice’s Crime Victims Fund. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Thanks to Musk and Trump, Republicans are about to shut down the government and harm our most vulnerable. The people deserve better.

NEW: @ayannapressley.bsky.social and @edmarkey.bsky.social want the DOJ to provide support for victims of police brutality. #mapoli "Although the news headlines may have faded, the pain experienced by victims’ families and communities remains.” thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The headlines may have faded, but the pain felt by survivors of police violence remains. That's why @markey.senate.gov and I are urging the Office for Victims of Crime to ensure victims of police brutality can access the resources they need to heal. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Our siblings in the labor movement stand on the side of justice calling for President Biden to continue using clemency to change and save lives. Our destinies are tied and the President must keep going. seiu.org/2024/12/nati...

Classic case of "I voted for him because he'll only target 'bad' people, not 'good' people."

Barcelona are imploding right now and it's hard to watch

Barcelona suffer second straight home defeat in LaLiga, this time beaten 1-0 by Leganés. League form astounding -- and not in a good way. One win in six now since winning 11 of first 12. Guilty of so many missed chances today, especially Lewandowski

@ayannapressley.bsky.social praises Biden and urges him to keep using his clemency power before leaving office. "This is a bold, necessary, and historic step in the right direction, and I'm calling on the President to use his authority to continue to do more of this." youtu.be/iuxwRvfu-aM?...

“State-sanctioned murder is not justice, and the death penalty is a cruel, racist and fundamentally flawed punishment that has no place in our society,” said U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass), who also cited her Christian faith while making the case against the death penalty.

“There are so many people with contributions to make, and they’re not being afforded the opportunity” @ayannapressley.bsky.social draws personal inspiration as she urges President Biden to commute more sentences.

Tonight I'm going to see the Celtics play the Wizards in DC for the 3rd time in under 2 months. Thank you basketball (scheduling) gods!

Last week President Biden issued the largest single day act of clemency in modern history - with 39 pardons and nearly 1,500 commutations. Rep. @ayannapressley.bsky.social joins The Weekend to discuss this historic moment and whether Biden should pardon some of Trump’s enemies.

Pour one out for one of the best politics and news shows in the game, with some of the best staff I've ever worked with. #mapoli

Thanks to President Biden’s historic clemency announcement, 1,500 families will have their lives changed forever. My full statement:

[email protected] again urges Biden to use clemency to address injustices in the legal system. She wants him to commute the sentences of the 40 ppl on death row & resentence them to prison terms. "You alone have the power to save lives. You must use it." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
