As we honor Rev. Jackson in the coming days, I will be thinking of the many lessons he taught us: “Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.” We should all seek to embody that spirit and serve others the way Rev. Jackson did. Keep hope—alive!
Jesse Jackson was an icon of the civil rights movement and a fearless warrior for justice for all. He was one of the most powerful forces for positive change in our country and our world. America is a more equal, just place thanks to his work. My prayers are with his family & those inspired by him.
Jesse Jackson, a champion of civil rights who twice ran for president, died on Tuesday at 84. His mission, he said, was “to transform the mind of America.” Read more about Jackson's life and legacy: nyti.ms/4rYGB32
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own. And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.
A headline by Politico reads "ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting"
This is not America. This is why Democrats voted NO on more funding for ICE. And we will continue to do so until ICE is reined in and the violence ends.
Trump tried to throw two US senators of the opposite party in jail simply because he didn’t like what they said. This is an attack on free speech. This is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on the rule of law. And the American people won’t stand for it.
When a President tries to jail Senators for speaking their minds just because he disagrees with them, that is not a Democrat or Republican problem—it’s a constitutional crisis of the highest order. We must all come together and take action to stop this erosion of our democracy.
There is no such thing as clean coal. Air pollution from coal causes cancer, asthma, and heart conditions. Stop putting your billionaire donors over the American people.
I’m thankful our Constitution prevailed and protected Sens. Slotkin’s and Kelly’s right to free speech. But the fact that Trump weaponized the DOJ to even attempt this grotesque indictment is beyond alarming. Today it was six Democratic members of Congress, tomorrow it could be anyone.
A grand jury made up of ordinary Americans REJECTED Trump’s abuse of power targeting Sens. Slotkin and Kelly. I’m so proud of their courage, their poise, their loyalty to our democracy and our constitution. Senate Dems will not let this witch hunt go unanswered.
As Americans face rising costs and soaring healthcare premiums, Americans are feeling the pain of a struggling job market. Once again, Trump over-promises and under-delivers.
We’re 3 days away from a DHS shutdown and Republicans have not gotten serious about negotiating a solution that reins in ICE and stops the violence. Democrats will not support a CR to extend the status quo.
My friend Charlie Rangel represented Harlem in Congress for 46 years. War hero. Assistant U.S. Attorney for SDNY. Founding member of @cbc.house.gov. Tireless legislator. Mentor. And so much more. We remember Charlie as one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress.
An image shows Charlie Rangel
Virginia's Law. Named after late Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre who spoke out on behalf of so many, Virginia's Law will eliminate the statute of limitations that has denied survivors the ability to hold criminals like Epstein accountable. The time for justice is now.
The Trump administration is all talk, no action. Thousands of agents are still roaming the streets in Minneapolis, assaulting people, and barging into homes. It’s only a matter of time before someone else gets seriously hurt. Democrats will not pass a DHS funding bill without serious reforms.
Democrats are STILL waiting on Republicans to come to the table and negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE and bring an end to the violence. We must end roving patrols. We must have a code of conduct. We must end secret police.
