A husband and wife were killed, their family is grieving. That should be the end of it. Using someone’s death as an opportunity for mockery & political scoring is grotesque and falls far short of basic standards we should expect from anyone in a position of leadership. The message is the messenger.

Brown killings and Australian slaughter of Jews. Too many guns in the hands of disturbed people. This violence must be dealt with with and not just in the courts but in our legislatures. Gun permits, not permitless carry and mental health background checks for a permit and for purchases.

Trump’s National Security Strategy is a disaster. At a moment when Russia is threatening European security, America must stand firmly with our allies, not criticize and abandon them. Trump idolizes strongmen and dictators. These are not American values. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anxd...

Housing stability is a national crisis, especially for low-income seniors. That’s why I secured $3M in federal funding for a new program with LISC Memphis & Habitat for Humanity of Memphis that gives grants for critical home repairs. This will help hundreds of Memphis seniors stay in their homes.

From parades, to the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace”, plans for Trump branding at a new DC NFL stadium and the Kennedy Center, Trump keeps trying to elevate himself. Now his birthday will be a free National Parks day while MLK Day & Juneteenth are removed. He’s putting himself above Dr. King.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Wyeth Chandler was a good Mayor and an outstanding Judge. He was Mayor when I got my first government position as assistant police legal advisor and later as police legal advisor. I called on him for advice for law while a state senator.

Trump had the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace forcibly removed from his office earlier this year. A federal court ruled that his dismantling of the USIP was a "gross usurpation of power"—the case is still in court. Now he's slapping his name and his own toxic brand on the building anyway.

Memphis households already spend more of their income on power bills than almost anywhere in the country. My Clean Cloud Act would keep data centers and crypto miners from pushing those bills even higher. More here in the Memphis Flyer: www.memphisflyer.com/clean-cloud-...

Clean Cloud Act Could Bring Emission Standards to Data Centers, Crypto Miners

Data centers could account for 12 percent of all U.S. energy use by 2028.

DNC chair: “Aftyn Behn’s overperformance in this Trump +22 district is historic and a flashing warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterms.”

Today I reintroduced the bipartisan TVA IRP Act to strengthen how TVA plans for the Valley’s future energy needs. It expands public participation, increases transparency, and brings independent expertise into the IRP — helping ensure reliable, lowest-cost power for families in Memphis & TN-9.

Love seeing Memphis featured in the New York Times “36 Hours” guide. Great food, great music, great people — it’s all here. Read what the Times had to say, or better yet come visit and see for yourself why we think Memphis is great!
