Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat representing Massachusetts and a member of the progressive group known as "The Squad," urged her party to push through far-left policies now that Democrats control Congress. During remarks on Tuesday, Pressley called for concrete action rather than just talk, specifically mentioning passing Medicare for All, enacting reparations, and abolishing ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Republicans suffered significant losses during the midterms, losing majorities in both the House and Senate, though President Donald Trump retains his veto power over any legislation passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress.
