I wrote the provision that authorized this National Park Service study. We worked closely with the Lynching Sites Project of Memphis and the Tennessee Historical Commission to identify the sites and to make sure this history is confronted, not forgotten.

Congress will decide if the sites merit inclusion into the park system.

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.

Real videos show confrontation between Alex Pretti and federal officers days before his death

Pretti's family has confirmed the authenticity of the footage, which allegedly shows him kicking a vehicle being driven by federal agents.

Bruce Springsteen — @brucespringsteen.net — is the voice of the people. Hard not to get a little teary-eyed listening to him sing about what's happening in our beloved and great country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

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.

Congressman Cohen Recognizes New “Righteousness Among the Nations” on Holocaust Memorial Day

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.

Jack Smith is a truthteller and an American hero.

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.

www.memphisflyer.com/nearly-60-pe... THE WORST OF THE WORST. THAT'S POLITICAL SPEAK NOT TRUTH.

Nearly 60 Percent of Tennessee ICE Arrests Involve People with no Convictions - Memphis Flyer

Newly released government data undermines Trump’s ‘worst of the worst’ narrative. Meantime, ICE is arresting numbers of children, too.

ICE is on the rocks.Needs less ice. Make it neat.

Check out this article from Commercial Appeal: Memphis gets $500K from TVA for energy-efficient home repairs www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/l... I constantly implore TVA to put more money into Memphis home weatherization. Kudo's to TVA!
