The Rescissions Act is good for Russia, China, and undertakers. Americans will die if this bill passes.

First, do no harm.

Republicans are trying to repeal the FACE Act and eliminate protections for women seeking reproductive care. It’s a direct attack on women’s choice AND safety. I’ve stood for women's rights my entire career—and I always will. Thank you to those who showed up yesterday to support Planned Parenthood.

Trump’s $45M birthday parade is days away—some estimates say $90M. A mountain of YOUR tax dollars wasted so one man can feel like a king. I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to stop it. Not one Republican signed on. They’re either fine with it, or too scared to tell a man-child “no.”

🚨The House passed the TVA Transparency Act, a bill I co-led to open all TVA board, committee & subcommittee meetings to the public. This is about transparency & accountability. Like any other government agency, the people TVA serve should be able to see how decisions are made, no matter what.

Trump is going after Columbia and Harvard. But both are educating leaders and changing the world—unlike Trump University, which was shut down, pled guilty to committing fraud, and banned. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

I secured $1.275M for Hub North, a new Hospitality Hub campus in North Memphis that will house families facing homelessness. 60 homes, 4,000+ people served each year—many of them kids. This isn't just about shelter. It's about stability, dignity, and a shot at the life every child deserves.

Elon Musk doesn’t know enough about government—his wrecking crew at DOGE proved it. He came in with a chainsaw to gut programs that help real people. Healthcare. Education. Nutrition. All to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. He might be out but the GOP is still using the same chainsaw. ⬇️
