Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Massachusetts’ 7th district since 2019, recently shared a series of tweets addressing various issues from immigration to local businesses. Pressley, known for her advocacy and community engagement, continues to voice her opinions on pressing matters through social media.

On October 25, 2024, Pressley addressed the issue of work permits for immigrant families. She emphasized the urgency of clearing the backlog by stating: "For months, we have been calling for our immigrant families to have access to the work permits they need. That’s why we’re urging @DHSgov to clear the work permit backlog by the end of the year because this is long overdue."

The following day, on October 26, 2024, she commented on Project 2025—a comprehensive plan allegedly drafted by former Trump administration staffers as a blueprint for a potential second term. Pressley expressed skepticism about attempts to distance from this project: "Project 2025 is a 922-page blueprint for a second Trump administration. It was written by 140+ former Trump staffers and some of his closest advisors. He can try to distance himself all he wants, but we see right through his lies."

Later that same day, Pressley highlighted her visit to Sweet Life Bakery & Cafe in Dorchester. She praised local restaurants as vital components of community life and economic vitality: "Our restaurants are the cultural and economic anchors of our neighborhoods. They bring us together, boost our economy, and build community." During her visit, she engaged with patrons about their concerns.
