@replamonica.bsky.social has been charged for doing what she was elected to do—provide oversight and demand accountability. This is about silencing Black women in power. We stand with her.🔗 Read the statement from President & CEO @glyndacarr.bsky.social via hhfa.us/StandWithLaM...

@algreen.house.gov stood up for the people, and Congress sat him down for it. Imagine getting censured for defending Medicaid while the House tolerates insurrectionists. History won’t remember the boos, but it’ll remember the courage. Keep shaking that cane, Congressman.

I walked out because I refused to sit through one of Donald Trump’s lie-filled speeches. His actions threaten to rip food from the tables of families who rely on SNAP, gut Medicaid, and he’s already put federal workers—many of them in the #FightingFifth —on the chopping block.

I walked out.
A cover photo that reads: Rep. Ayanna Pressley walks out during Trump speech in protest Rep. Ayanna Pressley walks out during Trump speech in protest:

“I attended this joint session tonight to honor my guest Claire, a former HUD employee who was unjustly terminated as part of Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s unprecedented and unlawful attacks on our federal workers. Federal workers like her make our communities stronger, and I was proud to uplift their experiences by having Claire as my distinguished guest tonight.

“However, I could not in good conscience sit through this speech and give an audience to someone who operates with lawless disregard for Congress and the people of this nation. Donald Trump has used his bully pulpit to spread lies, demonize vulnerable communities, and double down on the hurt, hate, and harm in his first 43 days in office. He does not respect Congress as a co-equal branch of government, and he has spent his time in office attacking our communities and letting an un-elected, unaccountable billionaire ransack our federal agencies and gut the essential services our families depend on—all to enrich themselves and their billionaire friends.

“This speech was just a reminder of that. It was chilling.

“I remain squarely focused on my constituents, our community, and working to do everything I can to stop this Republican majority from making horrific cuts to Medicaid, halting cancer research, and attacking our dedicated federal workers.”

—Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed bills to raise Michigan’s minimum wage and expand paid sick leave policies
—Iowa Senate Democrats introduced a legislative package to expand access to affordable housing around the state

President Donald Trump on Thursday again raised the prospect of serving an unconstitutional third term, asking a crowd at a White House event whether he should run again. The Constitution’s 22nd Amendment limits presidents from holding the office more than twice.

The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws.
