Spent 3 hours tonight in Senate chamber being inspired, uplifted, and wowed by Sen.Corey Booker Record breaking 25 hour lesson in the corruption and illegal conduct of the Trump/ Musk regime. And it was bookended and spirited with John Lewis and Good Trouble. Thank you John and Corey!

Trump isn't joking about a 3rd term. He says “a lot of people” want it—the same ones who want to see him in a robe & crown. But the Constitution doesn't allow for kings or 3rd terms. He swore an oath to the Constitution. Not to "a lot of people", or the mob that tried to overthrow it on January 6.

Musk tells Wisconsin a Democratic Supreme Court could gerrymander the Republican seats, but he doesn’t mention that the Republican court could gerrymander Democratic seats. Conveniently, he doesn’t mention that he has a case to allow the manufacturer of Tesla to have a Tesla dealership in Wisc.
Trump's tariff wars are making everything more expensive. And it’s about to get worse. And while we're paying more for food, medicine, appliances and car repairs, the GOP wants to slash Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP & more to give billionaires a tax cut. They do not care about working people.
6/6 This isn’t about party. It’s about power without accountability. ICE must release its data, DHS must answer for its actions, and I won’t stop demanding answers. Full press release here ⬇️
5/6 If someone is truly a member of a violent gang, deportation may be warranted—but we must be sure. Every individual deserves a fair hearing to determine the facts. That’s the bare minimum in a nation governed by the rule of law, and it’s why we must insist on due process.
4/6 I wrote Secretary Noem on February 13 to get clarity. I haven’t heard a word back. This kind of silence suggests they don’t want the public to see the truth—and that should alarm every American who believes in due process and equal protection under the law.
3/6 The public has a right to know what ICE is doing—and so do the individuals being detained. They have a right to due process, to a hearing, and to know whether they actually fall under the scope of the President’s questionable authority, based on an 1898 law now being challenged in court.
2/6 The American people deserve to know: – Who is being picked up by ICE? – Have they been convicted of violent crimes? – What jurisdictions were involved? – How many have been sent to Guantanamo Bay? And most importantly—why is this information being kept secret?
1/6 Six weeks after demanding answers from DHS Secretary Noem, I still haven’t received a response. ICE is detaining and deporting people—without telling the public who, or why. That’s unacceptable.
Trump just signed an executive order ripping union rights from 1 million+ federal workers. It’s union busting. It’s illegal. It’s a disgrace. This is part of a broader attack on all working people. Unions built the American middle class—and we cannot let the GOP tear it down.
Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

Thanks again to the 700+ people who attended my town hall meeting last week. I recapped some of the main points of discussion in an op-ed today for The Daily Memphian—Social Security, the treatment of federal workers, GOP lawlessness, "Good Trouble", & more. Check it out here ⬇️
