Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, representing Massachusetts' 7th district, recently shared her views on various issues through a series of tweets. Serving in Congress since 2019 after replacing Mike Capuano, Pressley has been vocal about international and local matters.

On October 29, 2024, Pressley criticized the Israeli government's actions in Gaza. She stated: "The Israeli government is starving Palestinians in Gaza, blocking aid, and now banning an essential humanitarian agency like UNRWA." She described these actions as "unconscionable" and a "blatant violation of international law," urging efforts to stop them.

The following day, October 30, 2024, Pressley visited Boston's ABCD Head Start program. She tweeted: "I visited @BostonABCD Head Start to read to our babies & highlight their impactful work." Expressing concern over Project 2025 potentially ending Head Start services for over 11K children in Massachusetts, she committed to advocating for the expansion of childcare programs.

On October 31, 2024, Pressley expressed pride in representing the Puerto Rican community in Massachusetts. She declared: "Massachusetts is home to a rich, vibrant and thriving Puerto Rican community." Condemning any disrespectful language towards this community, she reaffirmed her support as their congressional representative.
