Secretary Noem has had plenty of time for cowboy cosplay and prison photo ops in El Salvador—but not to answer my basic questions about ICE detentions and deportations. Who’s being held? Why? Where is ANY shred of due process? This isn’t tough-on-crime. It’s lawless, cowardly, and un-American.
Trump is ripping up the Constitution and seizing power from Congress to advance his agenda: powers of the purse, dismantling agencies Congress has jurisdiction over & more. And the GOP—the same ones who claim to care about the Constitution—are just rolling over for him. That's how democracy dies. ⬇️
The GOP budget isn’t about the middle class. And it's not about the deficit—if it was they'd just direct money towards decreasing the deficit instead of giving it to billionaires. Their budget is about making the ultra-rich even wealthier. And using Social Security, Medicare & more to pay for it.
It was a cold night in DC at nationals Park, but the crêpe myrtle seemed to like it and so did I. That’s 8-2 over my second favorite team the Dodgers. #goNats
Trump asks Supreme Court to block order requiring US to bring back man mistakenly deported to El Salvador - CNN HE IS PAYING EL SALVADOR MILLIONS TO TAKE DEPORTEES. YOU THINK TRUMP COULD MAKE A PHONE CALL AND ASK FOR EARLY CHECK OUT FOR ONE
He is a petulant sociopathic grifter,bankrupted dozens of times, convicted of 34 felonies, guilty civilly for sexually assaulting women,and banned from being on a charitable board because he cheated. And you think he is not a good businessman. The only thing he’s good at is lying to the public.FRAUD
www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/b... all the experts say we have made a big mistake with tariffs and inflation will increase greatly,yet Trump and his minions say don’t worry it’ll be fine. His professor at Penn said he was the stupidest student he ever had and he’s in charge of our economy. We r f’ed.
My house companion of 10 years, Little Black Kitty, died last weekend at age 10 or 11. She never talked about her age. She was too young to die.Value your four-legged friends. They sure make life better.
dailymemphian.com/section/arts... there was a the April 4th Foundation remembrance.Father Michal Pfleger electrified the crowd, remembering Dr. King and chastising religion for its many lapses in America. I was honored to receive the Open Door award for my civil rights efforts in spirit of MLK

As the crowd at #HandsOff Boston files into City Hall Plaza, someone got up on a barrier waving the flag, and folks started singing the Star Spangled Banner. This too is America.
www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u... Trump is using antisemitism to appeal to Jews and to get at his educated opposition in the Ivy schools, which his base detests. If he really wanted to go after antisemitism, he’d go after the KKK neo-Nazis proud boys but no, “They’re fine people on both sides.”
Catastrophic rain, tornadoes, flooding throughout the central US and my state of Tennessee. Trump/Musk and doge “geniuses” decimated FEMA and NOAA. And the NIH and CDC. Government is supposed to protect the people and keep them safe and healthy and Doge and Trump and Musk doing just the opposite!
Tariffs are taxes.The stock market is a measure of Trumps economic folly. Trump has wrecked our thriving economy and our social safety and health network. 47 is a monstrous out of control man-child.😫
Trump's tariff wars are making everything more expensive. And it’s about to get worse. And while we're paying more for food, medicine, appliances and car repairs, the GOP wants to slash Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP & more to give billionaires a tax cut. They do not care about working people.
First, the Trump admin started clawing back air quality funds I helped secure for Memphis. Now they’re letting companies apply for secret exemptions from the Clean Air Act—no names, no accountability. I wrote the EPA demanding the name of everyone from TN-9 on that list. We're going to find out.
