Trump took classified documents and obstructed efforts to get them back. The question is—why? That answer is in a sealed report the public still hasn’t seen. I introduced the Volume II Transparency Act because if there’s evidence of obstruction, it can't stay buried. The public has a right to know.
Proud to earn a 100% on the Alliance for Retired Americans’ 2025 Scorecard for protecting Social Security, health care and nutrition programs—and opposing GOP bills to cut those services & give tax breaks to billionaires and giant corporations. The rest of TN's congressional delegation scored a 0%.
Attended a panel at the 15th Annual Rx & Illicit Drug Summit today where a Republican claimed Democrats are keeping DHS unfunded, hurting drug prevention efforts. I countered that these efforts aren't hindered by banning masks or wearing body cameras. Reforms let DHS prioritize keeping drugs out.
Had the honor of joining the Memphis Zoo on Saturday to celebrate its 120th anniversary. Proud to speak at the ribbon-cutting ceremony kicking off this milestone year for one of Memphis’s most beloved institutions.
Great to join the April 4th Foundation for its 26th Annual MLK Commemorative Awards Banquet. Inspiring to be with so many outstanding honorees and especially to hear from Ambassador Andrew Young, whose life of service continues to inspire.
Yesterday, I joined the April 4th commemoration at the National Civil Rights Museum, reflecting on MLK Jr’s legacy. He warned of the “giant triplets” of militarism, materialism, and racism, and we still see all three today — from Iran to growing inequality to persistent injustice.
Pam Bondi's tenure was one failure after another. She should have been fired months ago. She ALWAYS put loyalty to Trump over the law, from the Epstein files to weaponizing the DOJ. She wasn't good at it, but Trump stood by—until Bondi embarrassed him. What he can't tolerate is being laughed at.
Trump confirms the firing of Pam Bondi
More here on Monday’s groundbreaking of Greenbelt Landing from the Daily Memphian. This project is a great effort to increase public access to our downtown and waterfront, create new recreational space, and increase tourism. Proud to support it with $3 million in federal Community Project Funding.
Trump triggered a global energy crisis when he dragged America to war with Iran. Now they’re scrambling for answers—and their first move is another sideshow that won’t lower gas prices but will irreparably harm marine wildlife in the Gulf. Our dependency on the oil and gas industry is killing us.

Gabbard: "The president ultimately is responsible for making the decisions based on the totality of information and intelligence that he has available to him." Rep. Cohen: "The intelligence that he has available to him - that's a scary thought."
We were finally making real progress on marijuana reform — moving it out of Schedule I and opening the door to real research. But that progress has completely stalled under Trump. Deadlines missed, reforms delayed, and no answers given. That’s unacceptable. I’m demanding answers.
Trump continues to lie about the ballroom and say that Presidents have wanted this for 150 years. I asked the congressional research service and they had no mention of any president or any administration ever asking for a ballroom!
House Republicans are refusing to concur with last nights Senate action ,by unanimous consent, they reached a compromise that funds every agency in homeland security, except for ICE and non enforcement parts of CBP. So TSA GETS PAID! But the House Republicans can’t accept a win and chaos prevails.
When you write laws that affect people with disabilities, you should INCLUDE people with disabilities in the conversation. Too often, it’s the opposite—decisions about us get made without us. And the burden gets pushed onto the very people they saw the law is supposed to help. It’s just wrong.
Our country is experiencing the hottest March on record—and we’ve got a President who STILL denies climate change. Trump is the least knowledgeable president in history. He's blocked reasonable investments in solar and EVs, and stopped the very policies we need to become more climate resilient.
BBC News, "This heat wave in the United States would be virtually impossible without human induced climate change" "In Arizona yesterday, they recorded their highest ever March temperature, 44 °C"
Trump's visit to Memphis changed NOTHING about the realities on the ground. He has no plan for poverty. No plan for education. No plan for health care. Those are the underlying issues driving what people are dealing with every day—but Trump is incapable of addressing them. Memphis deserves more.
