The Supreme Court is stripping away the representation that Black Americans fought and died for to help Trump hold onto power in the midterms—drawing new maps to silence voices they don’t like hearing.
They know exactly what they’re doing.
I'm going to stand and fight for #Memphis.

Trump’s Jim Crow Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act—and within hours the GOP was targeting Memphis.
They want to redraw the lines, erase Black voting power, and hold onto power any way they can. I’m not letting that happen without a fight.
Join us today at the National Civil Rights Museum.
Trump and the GOP know they can't win on the merits.
So they're emasculating the Voting Rights Act, changing the maps, and trying to take representation and power away from Black Americans to keep their majority.
That's what this is all about. It's Jim Crow redistricting. We're going to fight it.
I’ll be on CNN Jake Tapper at 6 o’clock Eastern time tonight. We’ll be talking about the redistricting in Tennessee or the possibility thereof because of the Supreme Court gutting of section 2 of the voting rights act

Trump and the GOP are coming for the power of Black voters in Memphis.
They emasculated the VRA—now Trump needs to finish the job by November to save his majority in Congress.
I'm not backing down. My team and I are already in touch with experienced voting rights attorneys to try and stop this.

Trump's SCOTUS just weakened the Voting Rights Act, effectively undoing the work of MLK, John Lewis and so many others.
The VRA has has guaranteed minority voters the right to elect the representatives of their choice for generations.
Representation is power—that's what they want to take away.
King Charles underscored our shared values and long history of mutual aid—and used his platform to reinforce them.
His reminder of NATO, support for Ukraine against a genocidal Russian threat, attention to climate change & protections for people of all faiths was important for the Chamber to hear.

"The US Supreme Court..has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances."
A British King just did a better law interpreting US law than some Justices have...

If you haven't already, it's time to boycott this company. They don't seem to care if we die or get cancer. Let's not care if they make any money.

If I saw this on the beach 🏖️ I’d probably get teary eyed. The scooter club is vibing.
Thank you for all the people who help these dogs live their best life.
Indicting James Comey over a photo of seashells is clearly an abuse of power.
The photo was never a threat, but they know that—we are seeing a vindictive president weaponize the DOJ against his perceived enemies. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution exists to stop exactly this.
While you’re busy working, Republicans in Congress today are targeting the FACE Act so that their most extreme supporters can trample other people’s rights.
We could be cracking down on corrupt pardons—instead, the GOP is busy repealing laws that protect people’s freedoms.
This ends in November.
Had an inspiring time at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis 55th annual Steak N’ Burger Dinner with UofM Hall of Famer and NBA World Champion, Earl Barron and V101’s Stan Bell. High school junior, Kennedy Davis gave a remarkable speech about the impact the Girls Club has had on her life.
Navy Secretary Is Out, Pentagon Says www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
After Patel fired counter intelligence v Iran agents at start of war Hegseth fires Navy Sec. during blockade.
You can’t have worse timing !
Trump’s presidency has been about corruption and self-dealing—and polluters are cashing in while we pay the price. Our tax dollars, our families, our earth.
Our planet can’t afford another 4 years of this. We have to fight for clean air, clean water and future generations—on Earth Day & every day.
I cosponsored articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth is the most unqualified SecDef in history. He helped launch Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran, endangered US servicemembers, and has committed war crimes—including attacks on children.
He needs to be removed from office.

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
The YEARS of progress to move cannabis out of Schedule I has stalled under Trump, with the DEA acting like the Strait of Hormuz.
Thousands are still in federal prison for non-violent marijuana offenses.
Proud to stand with advocates on 4/20 today pushing pardons, clemency, and real reform.
