1/6 Six weeks after demanding answers from DHS Secretary Noem, I still haven’t received a response. ICE is detaining and deporting people—without telling the public who, or why. That’s unacceptable.
Trump just signed an executive order ripping union rights from 1 million+ federal workers. It’s union busting. It’s illegal. It’s a disgrace. This is part of a broader attack on all working people. Unions built the American middle class—and we cannot let the GOP tear it down.
Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

Thanks again to the 700+ people who attended my town hall meeting last week. I recapped some of the main points of discussion in an op-ed today for The Daily Memphian—Social Security, the treatment of federal workers, GOP lawlessness, "Good Trouble", & more. Check it out here ⬇️
Pleased to be recognized as one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress by the Center for Effective Lawmaking. Whether it’s fighting for working people, funding for hospitals, housing & infrastructure, or standing up for Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid, I’m ready to keep going for Memphis.
www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h... The world and its exposure to bird flu and children and their exposure to malaria and other life-threatening illnesses must contribute to the tax breaks for the millionaires and billionaires. We need to get the richest of the rich their dividend from electing Trump
Trump Signs Executive Order to Overhaul Voting - The Wall Street Journal. When the Republican Party was not led by an authoritarian oligarch they believed in states rights. They even believed in Congress.
www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u... I would Senator Duckworth. They all should go ! The fact is none of them should’ve ever been where they were. Republican senators, who confirmed them should be calling for their resignations. To paraphrase Jimmy Breslin, this is the gang who couldn’t shoot straight
New reporting confirms it: The Trump administration is deliberately sabotaging Social Security customer service. Longer wait times. Fewer staff. Closed offices. All to frustrate Americans into accepting privatization. That’s not “draining the swamp.” That’s gutting your retirement.
Maybe Trump now knows he should have appointed people smarter than him. Not a very high threshold yet….
In a shocking oversight, top U.S. officials mistakenly texted war plans to one of Trump’s most-hated journalists, The Atlantic revealed today. The bombshell report showed a lengthy thread on the messaging app Signal about the logistics of a military strike on Houthi targets in Yemen on March 14.
Republicans are trying to destroy Social Security. Shrink the staff, shrink the services, overwhelm the offices, drive it into the ground—then privatize it. That's the plan. Even GOP voters at my Town Hall meeting were saying this isn't what they voted for... but it is. ⬇️
Seems a good guy gone awol. Loyalty to billionaire sociopath rather than a conscience and values. He will regret what he has done but it will be too late and his “God” won’t give a hoot.
