On October 16, 2024, Congresswoman Pressley expressed concern over Project 2025's impact on food assistance programs. She stated that the project would "cut food assistance for up to 187,000 people in the #MA7" and emphasized its potential harm by saying it would "literally rip food out of the mouths of our most vulnerable," which includes women, children, elders, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. She concluded by asserting that "the cruelty is the point." The original post can be viewed here.
