I introduced the CSA Clarification in Sciences Act to ensure decisions about controlled substances rely on today’s best evidence. This bill breaks outdated barriers to research and opens the door to new treatments for people with depression, PTSD, and other severe conditions. See a one-pager below.

I signed the discharge petition to force a vote on the Right to Contraception Act. Eight in ten Americans support the Right to Contraception Act, which ensures the right for Americans to access contraception and protects the right of health care providers to provide contraceptives.

This is @repcohen.bsky.social who just had his district, the only TN District that truly represents Black residents, redrawn to dilute the voice of Black voters . He makes clear that @splcenter.org fights #antisemitimsm & proudly mentions his relationship with. This was a moving moment.

Last Monday was a great day for South City as we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the South City Early Education Center—a new anchor tenant of the Porter Jr. High redevelopment. This transformation was made partly possible with $3M in FY23 Community Project funding and the hard work of all involved.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pay tribute to U.S. and Allied Forces who served during World War II and remember the service members whose bravery on the beaches and in the skies above Normandy and Nazi-occupied France changed the course of history.

The actions we take today to protect our environment will help create a healthier, more sustainable future for all. That's why I am co-leading a letter to oppose @EPA's rescission of coal ash rules and working on legislation to strengthen the Clean Air Act.

This week in committee I argued the reasons why Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached after additional evidence came forward with the Alabama case. I filed six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice Roberts on May 21st.

thehill.com/homenews/hou... You were either for the freedom fighting western looking Ukrainian heroes or the disgusting Russian killers who want power and land to try recreate the Soviet Union. How could the Republicans vote almost unanimously to be in bed with Putin and the killers? Sad!
House moves forward on new aid for Ukraine package, spurning Trump

Spoke on the House floor yesterday in support of the Benton MacKaye National Scenic Trail Feasibility Study Act, which I co-lead with @RepChuck & voted for. The 288-mile trail connects GA, TN & NC. This study is the first step toward potential National Scenic Trail status, the first one since 2009.

Visited Sweet Cheeks Diaper Ministry last week to learn how they support mothers and newborns with essentials like diapers and formula. These costs add up fast, which is why organizations like these are so important. Their volunteers bring dignity, comfort, and hope to families who need it most.

Exactly I don’t expect us to get a hearing in the Committee but it’s fact that John Roberts has been an awful chief justice. He’s been for the rich and the powerful and the Republicans. And it’s good to be on record that he did these things in contravention of his job as chief justice .

Joined Mayor Young at PURE Academy to highlight the $1,031,000 in federal funding I secured for the Youth Violence Prevention Program. Grateful to hear from leaders at PURE Academy and Heal 901 and to see their inspiring work to keep our youth and community safe.
