Trump‘s pardoning 1200+insurrectionists from January 6 is basically an admission of guilt by him for being the leader of the insurrection. Assaulters of police and organizers of Jan.6. 45 was responsible for sending Ashli Babbitt to her death.

Jack Smith and his team should have been given preemptive pardons.

Minutes after being sworn in, Trump launched attacks on the rule of law and our Constitution: abusing emergency powers, pardoning violent Jan6 rioters & threatening birthright citizenship. His authoritarian playbook is a threat to our democracy—and we must stop him. cohen.house.gov/media-center...

"God never intended for one group of people to live in superfluous, inordinate wealth, while others live in abject deadening poverty."—MLK As we celebrate #MLKDay, we should honor Dr. King's legacy by committing ourselves to justice for all and service to the least of those in our communities.

I did not attend the inaugural 2017 and won’t be attending today. I’m in Memphis where Martin Luther King is being honored on his day.In 2017 I joined , my dear friend, John Lewis in protest. Today I do so in the spirit of John Lewis and Dr.King and Maya Angelou. “When someone shows you they are….”

As Polio Survivors Watch Kennedy Confirmation, All Eyes Are on McConnell

There are an estimated 300,000 polio survivors in the United States. For some, the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary is reviving their painful memories.

President Biden’s historic clemency for nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders is a critical step toward justice. As the leader in Congress for reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule 1 substance and ending outdated drug policies, I applaud POTUS for righting these wrongs and restoring families.

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, #Medicare is negotiating lower prices for 15 more drugs, from cancer treatments to Ozempic. Medicare NEVER had this ability before the IRA—it's delivering real savings. I’m TN's only member of Congress today who voted for it & I’ll keep fighting to protect it.

$12.7 MILLION is coming to Memphis & Shelby County for homelessness programs—part of the largest federal investment of its kind. These funds will transform lives and give thousands a chance to get back on their feet. Proud to work with the Biden administration to deliver for our community.

🚨NEW: I introduced the Constitutional Emoluments Protection of American Interests Act to stop federal funds from lining Trump's pockets. In his first term, Trump blatantly violated the Constitution’s Emoluments clauses & shamelessly profited off the presidency. This corruption must be stopped.
