Great to join the April 4th Foundation for its 26th Annual MLK Commemorative Awards Banquet. Inspiring to be with so many outstanding honorees and especially to hear from Ambassador Andrew Young, whose life of service continues to inspire.

Dr. King’s dream is not yet fulfilled. It’s on us to carry it forward.
Yesterday, I joined the April 4th commemoration at the National Civil Rights Museum, reflecting on MLK Jr’s legacy.
He warned of the “giant triplets” of militarism, materialism, and racism, and we still see all three today — from Iran to growing inequality to persistent injustice.
Pam Bondi's tenure was one failure after another. She should have been fired months ago.
She ALWAYS put loyalty to Trump over the law, from the Epstein files to weaponizing the DOJ.
She wasn't good at it, but Trump stood by—until Bondi embarrassed him. What he can't tolerate is being laughed at.
More here on Monday’s groundbreaking of Greenbelt Landing from the Daily Memphian.
This project is a great effort to increase public access to our downtown and waterfront, create new recreational space, and increase tourism. Proud to support it with $3 million in federal Community Project Funding.

Trump triggered a global energy crisis when he dragged America to war with Iran. Now they’re scrambling for answers—and their first move is another sideshow that won’t lower gas prices but will irreparably harm marine wildlife in the Gulf.
Our dependency on the oil and gas industry is killing us.

Gabbard: "The president ultimately is responsible for making the decisions based on the totality of information and intelligence that he has available to him."
Rep. Cohen: "The intelligence that he has available to him - that's a scary thought."

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
We were finally making real progress on marijuana reform — moving it out of Schedule I and opening the door to real research.
But that progress has completely stalled under Trump. Deadlines missed, reforms delayed, and no answers given.
That’s unacceptable. I’m demanding answers.
Trump continues to lie about the ballroom and say that Presidents have wanted this for 150 years. I asked the congressional research service and they had no mention of any president or any administration ever asking for a ballroom!
House Republicans are refusing to concur with last nights Senate action
,by unanimous consent, they reached a compromise that funds every agency in homeland security, except for ICE and non enforcement parts of CBP. So TSA GETS PAID!
But the House Republicans can’t accept a win and chaos prevails.
When you write laws that affect people with disabilities, you should INCLUDE people with disabilities in the conversation.
Too often, it’s the opposite—decisions about us get made without us. And the burden gets pushed onto the very people they saw the law is supposed to help. It’s just wrong.
Our country is experiencing the hottest March on record—and we’ve got a President who STILL denies climate change.
Trump is the least knowledgeable president in history. He's blocked reasonable investments in solar and EVs, and stopped the very policies we need to become more climate resilient.
Trump's visit to Memphis changed NOTHING about the realities on the ground.
He has no plan for poverty.
No plan for education.
No plan for health care.
Those are the underlying issues driving what people are dealing with every day—but Trump is incapable of addressing them. Memphis deserves more.

If you know conflict with Iran is coming, why would you weaken OUR OWN counterintelligence?
That’s exactly what Kash Patel did. I pressed him on it today: why fire agents tracking Iranian response capabilities before TRUMP LAUNCHED A WAR against Iran?
He couldn’t even give a straight answer.

While I appreciate the intentions @repcohen.bsky.social, I am outraged that no one on the judiciary committee tells these people that they have a responsibility to answer their questions. Patel knows damn well why these ppl were fired. He must be forced to admit it! @democrats-judiciary.house.gov
