Warren was my best pal. We traveled, shared stages & talked constantly. I introduced him in Memphis & Nashville—“Ladies and gentlemen, Warren Zevon"—and hosted him at the 2000 LA Dem Convention. He always was a Hall of Famer. Now it’s official. “How was I to know she was with the Russians too?”

The Trump admin is canceling thousands of student visas—including at UofM, CBU & Rhodes. No notice. No explanation. These students aren’t threats. They’re our future doctors, engineers & entrepreneurs. It's a disgrace, it's un-American, and I'm urging Secretaries Rubio & Noem to change course ⬇️

South Memphis residents deserve answers—and a voice—when it comes to xAI’s plans and potential pollution risks. I’ve always stood up for our environment and public health in Memphis, and I've been pressing the EPA for oversight and accountability here. Read my op-ed in today’s Commercial Appeal ⬇️

Elon Musk's xAI ambitions must not harm Memphis-Shelby County residents' health | Opinion

No company, not even Elon Musk's xAI, should get a blank check to do business in Memphis without community input and strict safeguards.

The GOP is letting polluters off the hook, gutting clean air & water rules, and freezing funds that Congress approved to combat climate-driven disasters. On #EarthDay, remember: our planet can’t afford another 4 years of this. We have to fight for clean air, clean water, and future generations.

House Democrats want to take on price-gougers to drive down grocery costs and continue to lower the cost of prescription drugs. Yet Trump and Republicans won’t stop driving prices up. On the Democratic Daily Download, @wassermanschultz.house.gov talks about the high cost of living for families.

Pope Francis was a moral leader who challenged the powerful and lifted up the poor. When he spoke to Congress in 2015, I was struck by his call for compassion, justice, and stewardship. His legacy will live on in that message—it's needed now more than ever. May he rest in peace. Pax vobiscum.

Trump and Republicans want to give more than $4 trillion in tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and they’re planning to pay for it by gutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repgreglandsman.bsky.social breaks down the math and what it will mean for Americans ⬇️

Kseniia Petrova fled political persecution from Putin and escaped to America. She’s a brilliant scientist—one of the most talented Harvard’s seen in 20 years. Now she’s in ICE detention, facing deportation while Trump turns the White House into an arm of the Kremlin. She should be released, NOW.

President Trump’s immigration crackdown ensnared Kseniia Petrova, a scientist who fled Russia after protesting its invasion of Ukraine. She fears arrest if she is deported there.

The Trump admin froze funding to upgrade senior housing—new windows & lighting, lower energy bills—because the program had “green” in the name. That’s not governing. It's ideological brain rot. Seniors will suffer so Trump can own the libs. I led 15 of my colleagues in urging HUD to change course ⬇️

“The big one to eliminate.” That’s how Musk & the GOP talk about programs like Social Security. While they’re ramming through tax cuts for billionaires, they're also wrecking Social Security so that it’s ripe for plucking by a private company for takeover. We won't let them do it without a fight.
