Members of the Congressional Black Caucus spoke out against the Continuing Resolution that would allow the government to stay open until September 2025. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) asserted "we're facing a hostile government takeover and @SenateDems can do something about it. The Trump-Musk spending bill will make our constituents who are unable or unwilling to support themselves hungrier, sicker, and poorer. Listen to your constituents. Do not cede your leverage. Hold the line." Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex) said "I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon. I've got no explanation nor agreement with Senate...

Ayanna Pressley says Democrats are willing to work with anyone who is serious about censoring the American people. These people are truly insane. Do they even hear themselves?

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley said she would bring “fire” to Republicans Tuesday if they ignore her party’s concerns about Elon Musk and his access to the Treasury Department. Democrats and activists gathered outside the Treasury Department to protest Musk having access to the agency’s data. In a speech during the rally, Pressley warned Republican lawmakers about this issue and called for people to resist if this situation continues. “With unprecedented organizing, mobilizing, agitating. We will see you in the courts, in Congress, in the streets,” Pressley said. The rhetoric escalated with direct attacks on Musk. “Elon Musk is a...

In June 2022, the Supreme Court's ruling that the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision establishing a nationwide right to abortion was invalid and that the power to legislate on this issue was reserved to the states. This decision generated a cascade of caterwauling over the "suppression of reproductive rights." Yet, the number of abortions surged to its highest level in a decade during calendar 2023. Dissatisfied that "access to abortion is still not as convenient as it should be," Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), and Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) are seeking federal legislation "that will provide a...

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga) says "no one is illegally crossing our border with Mexico. President Biden invited them to come. The Border Patrol is cutting the barbed wire Texas illegally installed to try to keep migrants out." Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) told CNN's Jake Tapper that "the border is secure. The Republican claim that it is not is a lie. No one is entering illegally. The Administration is setting aside land in the National Park Service's (NPS) Gateway National Recreation Area to build housing for the people the President has authorized to enter the US." Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has...

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) said Thursday she voted against a measure this week creating a bipartisan select committee on the security, economic, and technological challenges posed to the U.S. by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because it will “embolden anti-Asian rhetoric and hate.” “I voted ‘no’ because, again, it’s a — it’s a — another sham effort here, it’s really clear that this is just a committee that would further embolden anti-Asian rhetoric and hate and put lives at risk,” Pressley told CNN. […] Pressley, a leftist member of the so-called “squad,” was one of 65 Democrats to vote against...

Senator-elect John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) were included in The New York Time’s list of the 93 most stylish people of the year. The diverse list for 2022’s most fashionable includes a typical host of celebrities — from Kim Kardashian to Beyoncé and Harry Styles — but also some less likely candidates. Fetterman was featured on the list next to a photo of him wearing his traditional uniform: a sweatshirt, shorts and a pair of sneakers. The Times commented that Fetterman would bring the workwear clothing brand Carhartt to Capitol Hill. Pressley was celebrated both for her...

MSNBC "MTP Daily" host Chuck Todd expressed dismay that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted in his trial for shooting three people during a riot in Kenosha last year. "I can understand how a teenager like Rittenhouse might feel endangered when a guy tried to club him with a skateboard or pointed a pistol at him," Todd admitted. "From a narrow perspective, it might be self-defense for him to shoot to save his life. But from a broader perspective, is society better off because he did? What message did the jury's verdict send?" "If Rittenhouse had withheld his fire the worst that...

So-called “Squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) reportedly shows thousands of dollars in rental income with her husband in her financial disclosure forms, despite being a cosponsor of the “cancel rent” bill. Pressley’s annual financial disclosure, which every member files, shows she and her husband made up to $15,000 from rent, according to a report from Fox News. Her disclosure is from last year as the Chinese coronavirus was sweeping through the country.

After Senate Republicans helped pass President Biden’s disastrous infrastructure bill, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) took a victory lap on Twitter by equating the left-wing cause for “climate justice” with infrastructure. “Care is infrastructure. Climate justice is infrastructure. Housing is infrastructure,” Pressley tweeted on Wednesday. “We can and we must meet the moment,” she added. “What progressives have been clear about since day one, as has President Biden, as has Democratic leadership, is that any vote on the narrow bipartisan infrastructure package must also come with a movement on a massive investment in tandem for workers and families,” she said. “And...

'Cancel rent' champion earned thousands as landlord Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) postponed filing her 2020 financial disclosure as the liberal congresswoman faced questions about whether she made money as a landlord during the coronavirus pandemic. Pressley moved to extend her filing deadline by 90 days on April 26, just one week after the Washington Free Beacon reported that she collected up to $15,000 in rental income during a four-month period in 2019. Pressley has championed rent cancellation bills throughout the pandemic, calling such legislation "literally a matter of life and death." Months into the pandemic, Pressley and her husband...

Far-left “Squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) on Monday suggested it is not possible for an individual to be “anti-racist” if they are against canceling student loan debt. “You can’t be anti-racist if you’re anti student debt cancellation,” she said in a social media post: Radical Democrats have pressed the Biden administration to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt — a figure Biden has failed to embrace, consistently signifying a willingness to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt. In February, Pressley encouraged Democrats to go big on the coronavirus relief measure, calling for $2,000 monthly checks for Americans and non-citizens,...

Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley has called on the country "to address the evil and scourge that is White supremacy," one month after pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol. "One of the images that I'm haunted by is the Black custodial staff cleaning up the mess left by that violent White supremacist mob," the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday, reflecting on her experience on Capitol Hill during the deadly siege on January 6. "That is a metaphor for America. We have been cleaning up after violent, White supremacist mobs for generations and it...

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) undermined the message of “unity” from President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris, saying there will be “no return to normal” for America in a message posted to social media Thursday. Pressley, a member of the House’s far-left “Squad,” made the remarks a little more than a week after violent riots broke out at the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) pushed for the cancellation of student debt to help “ensure” an “equitable” economic recovery from the effects of the shutdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic. Pressley told MSNBC that she will push the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration to cancel student debt via executive order on day one. “I’m certainly not going to abdicate my responsibility to continue to fight for [a coronavirus relief package],” Pressley advised. “You know, this Democratic majority-led House has passed multiple bills to meet the scale and scope of this crisis to mitigate the hurt people are feeling, and this callous, and might...

Are they locked in Pelosi's basement? How are they keeping them quiet?

“[Betsy DeVos,] you have no plan,” tweeted Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) on Sunday afternoon. “I wouldn’t trust you to care for a house plant let alone my child.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) recently told a progressive audience at Howard University that, “Public transit should be free.” This is just the latest call for free transit; the issue has been bubbling up around the country in the past few months, started in large part by some misreporting of events in Kansas City, Missouri. ... A 2002 study authored by Jennifer Perone and Joel Volinski of the Center for Urban Transportation Research concluded: "Based upon the findings of this synthesis, it is concluded that a fare-free policy might be appropriate for smaller transit systems in certain communities, but is ill-advised...

In his latest article on Woke Racism, Victor Davis Hanson explains how the “new racism” works, using Rep. Pressley as an example: Take Pressley’s recent formulation of the new racism at a recent Netroots Nation conference: “If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to...

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign released a new video attacking four radical Congresswomen who the president has zeroed in on as the new face of the Democratic Party. The campaign video kicks with an image of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), with googly eyes relacing Ocasio-Cortez’s regular eyes and the caption “The Squad: Meet the Leaders of the Democrat Party.”
