Trump & the GOP made billionaires and tech oligarchs so rich that they happily fund Trump’s vanity projects—his White House ballroom, his Kennedy Center takeover, even cutting checks for “Melania", the most panned movie of all time. Meanwhile working families get NOTHING. Corruption in plain sight.
When a federal agency can shoot Americans in the street and the administration’s first instinct is to smear the dead as “domestic terrorists" or an "assassin", it’s beyond reform. That’s why I’m calling for ICE to be abolished—and why I’ve cosponsored legislation to impeach Kristi Noem.
Black History Month is a reminder of the leaders who pushed our country closer to its ideals — and the Memphis giants who helped shape our city and our future. I’ll keep honoring that legacy with work: protecting voting rights, confronting discrimination, and expanding opportunity in Memphis & TN-9.
We’ve gone from “the Epstein files/client list are on Pam Bondi’s desk,” to “there is no client list,” to 3 million files dumped overnight. All under Trump. They hoped you wouldn't notice. Now they hope you think it's over—without any of these men even standing trial. We can't let that happen.
Donald Trump is so repulsive that even Jeffrey Epstein said he was the worst person he’d ever met. "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump.”
Real videos show confrontation between Alex Pretti and federal officers days before his death www.snopes.com/fact-check/a... None of this provides justification in him being executed,shot in the back! But Trump's sees it as "his stock going down."What a shortsighted and callous president we have.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, and the millions of other victims of the Holocaust. Yad Vashem honors the “Righteous Among the Nations” — those who risked their lives to help others. Renee Good and Alex Pretti showed that same courage.

ICE should be abolished. Kristi Noem should be impeached. She promised to go after the "worst of worst". She hasn’t. 75% of people they're apprehending have NO criminal record. ICE seems to be the worst of the worst. Minimal training, minimal standards.

I voted HELL NO on Republicans' DHS funding bill. They want to pour billions of taxpayer dollars into ICE—an agency that LIED about targeting "the worst of the worst" and instead targets people with no criminal record. ICE is the worst of the worst. We need to abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Great to see former Vice President Kamala Harris during her visit to Memphis last week. I was proud to support her candidacy and appreciated that she toured the National Civil Rights Museum.

Members of Congress should not be trading stocks while serving in office. It’s an obvious conflict, and any real ban should apply to Presidents and Supreme Court Justices as well. Republicans don't want to allow a vote on that kind of bill. So today I signed a discharge petition to force one.
A law is an infinite deal like the Kennedy center law that said it was named John F. Kennedy memorial and the only memorial for him . That was/ is infinite
COLLINS: Does it include the US having ownership of Greenland? TRUMP: It's a long term deal. It's the ultimate long term deal COLLINS: How long is it? TRUMP: Infinite. There is no time limit. It's a deal that's forever.
