I continue to be appalled by #MAPoli member of #Congress #AyannaPressley's ongoing failure to rise to the moment.
Let's talk about her newsletter to constituents today: https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/view_newsletter.aspx?id=100970&c=MA07AP
There literally isn't a single word in it about what #DonaldTrump and the #GOP are doing and what she's doing about it.
We're in an existential fight to save our democracy, and Pressley does not think it important to ensure her constituents are informed about it.

It's a newsletter specifically about what she did in the community. Even with that qualification it states:

We discussed some of our legislative priorities, including my efforts to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, address the rising unemployment rate for Black women, fight for accountability and healing of survivors of sexual abuse, secure federal funding for our essential community programs, and more.

@HakeemG
This is Pressley's only newsletter. There's no other one where she talks to her constituents about the topics I mentioned.
I've been subscribed to it for over a year, and she hasn't once addressed Trump or the GOP or what they are doing in any substantive way. All she does is puff herself up. Politics, not leadership.
Pressley's certainly better than Capuano was by the end of his tenure. But with a safe seat in Congress, she could have been so much more than she has chosen to be.

@HakeemG Your entire timeline is filled with disingenuous attacks on leftists and full-throated defense of the Democratic party, so I hope you will forgive me for concluding that further dialogue with you on this topic or any other is misguided.
Frankly, I think you're either a Russian disinformation troll or someone ignorantly carrying water for them.
