I condemn the killing of Charlie Kirk. Political violence is antithetical to a civilized society.

Denying food aid to people with past drug convictions makes reentry harder and recidivism more likely. That's the law right now.
I reintroduced the bipartisan RESTORE Act to repeal this outdated ban so these people can get SNAP, apply before release, and have a real chance to rebuild their lives.

The same Supreme Court that just acted overnight to unleash ICE raids that break apart families and brutalize people in LA, couldn't find the time in 2024 to fast-track Jack Smith's case against a sitting president for trying to overthrow our government.
Their priorities tell you everything.
Bless your heart

Trump’s message to hardworking people and families: airlines can disrupt your flight, damage your property, and you still owe full price.
Don’t expect this administration or the GOP to lift a finger for you as a consumer. Their loyalty is to billionaire donors and giant multinational corporations.

Trump’s Commerce Dept. just cut off funding for the TN Minority Business Development Center, forcing it to close after 13 years of helping small, local businesses.
I helped open the MBDC in 2012 to give Black and minority entrepreneurs in Memphis a voice. Trump and the GOP just silenced that voice.
I helped write and pass bipartisan reforms to protect passengers: refunds, family seating, wheelchair rights, and real compensation for delayed flights.
That's what people and families deserve when they don't get what they pay for.
Trump is ripping them up to pad airline profits—at your expense.
🚨BREAKING: Thanks to the Trump admin, you’ll once again have the pleasure of handing over MORE of your money to giant airlines for the privilege of being nickel-and-dimed, delayed, and treated like baggage.
Corporate America first, as always.

Vaccines save lives. They save quality of life, too.
I had polio as a child, and I've lived with post-polio because I never had access to the vaccine.
RFK Jr. has used his office to sow doubt & restrict vaccines, putting kids at risk. On behalf of all polio victims, I'm calling on him to resign.

The GOP are holding hearings on free speech in the UK, while Trump is busy suing news outlets, law firms and colleges, bullying students, whitewashing the Smithsonian & African American History museums, and using the government as a hammer against dissent.
That's how autocracy starts—it's here.

I signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files—as EVERY member of Congress should. If your Rep. hasn't signed, you need to ask why!
Powerful men buried the truth to shield predators. The American people deserve answers, victims deserve justice, and this cover-up must end.

INBOX — STATEMENT from @repcohen.bsky.social (D), who opposes Trump sending the National Guard to MEMPHIS, which Sen. @MarshaBlackburn (R) supports:
“There are both legal and practical reasons for me to oppose this.”
www.google.com/gasearch?q=t.... “I run the country and the world.”May ‘25.Clearly he not only doesn’t run the world but he is destructing our leadership role in the world. And he is also destructing our Constitutional system of democracy and the rule of law.
How did we elect the enemy from within?

Trump now wants to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda. Why? For daring to stand up to an illegal detention in El Salvador.
That’s the reason. Uganda has nothing to do with this case, but that's the response he gets from a cruel, vengeful administration.
What has America become?
