Tax dollars should prioritize real benefits for real people—like high-speed rail connecting #Memphis to #Atlanta, #Nashville & other cities. Not sending Elon’s or any other billionaire’s rockets to Mars. Let’s focus on investing public funds here on Earth where the public actually lives.

It’s been 2 weeks since I wrote Governor Lee about Tennessee forfeiting $1.1M in Summer EBT funding—a program that fed nearly 700,000 kids last year. Feeding hungry kids isn’t optional and the silence from his office is unacceptable. Children and families in Memphis & throughout TN deserve answers.

I urged Trump to release JFK assassination records, and hours later he issued an executive order to start the process. Transparency delayed is accountability denied. After 61 years, it’s time for the American people to know the truth. I'll keep pushing to ensure this is done right—no more excuses.

Trump‘s pardoning 1200+insurrectionists from January 6 is basically an admission of guilt by him for being the leader of the insurrection. Assaulters of police and organizers of Jan.6. 45 was responsible for sending Ashli Babbitt to her death.
