Trump is turning the EPA into the Environmental POLLUTION Agency.
By killing the endangerment finding, they are endangering all of us. More cities full of smog, more pollution and health problems, more irreversible impacts to nature and wildlife—that's what they're giving us. So much for MAHA.
🚨MAJOR TRUMP LOSS
SCOTUS ruled he has NO authority to impose his tariff regime. Trump tariffs have already been raising prices + inflation for months—the unwind will bring even more chaos.
This is what happens when trade policy is driven by ego instead of expertise, or following the constitution.
I won’t sit in the People’s House and listen to a convicted felon deliver another night of lies about ICE killings, his vanity projects, or self-serving pardons while the GOP cheers.
I’ll skip the spectacle & spend the night at the People’s State of the Union w/@moveon.org, @meidastouch.com & more.
With the esteemed pastor, Frank Ray of New Salem Baptist Church in Memphis. Celebrating 54 years of service to his congregation and community.It was a beautiful service for a legendary Pastor.
Congratulations Pastor Ray.
They say a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. Trump & Bondi's DOJ can’t even do that.
They tried to go after Letitia James, they tried James Comey, they tried to take down 6 Members of Congress over an ad—strike out, strike out, strike out.
These are revenge fishing expeditions—not real cases.
Jesse Jackson was a man in the arena—a towering civil rights and human rights leader, a splendid orator and a courageous voice for justice. Sending my deepest condolences to his family, especially Jesse Jr. & Jonathan, and all who loved him.
Jesse Jackson made a difference. He’ll be missed dearly.
God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. He didn’t need the Tennessee General Assembly’s help.
They tried this in 1996, when I was a TN State Senator—I was the only Senator to vote NO because I saw it for what it was: politics masquerading as faith.
Faith is personal. The Constitution is clear.
The latest time I talked with the Rev. Jesse Jackson during DNC convention Chicago. Nothing not even being confined to that wheelchair could stop him for participating in the affairs of his nation. He was a phenomenal splendid order and a courageous man.
Condolences to his family.
A life well lived
In February '96 the Tennessee Senate passed a resolution 27-1 to urge the posting of the 10 Commandments in schools, businesses and homes. I was the one dissenting vote and said,"Moses gave the 10 Commandments to the people he didn't need the Tennessee general assembly's help."
Time and Newsweek
Trump posted a racist depiction of our first Black President and First Lady. It wasn’t an accident or “fake outrage”—it was racist, vile, and it disgraced our country.
I introduced a resolution to censure and condemn Trump and demand he apologize to President Obama, Michelle Obama, and the country.
Trump and the GOP know how unpopular they've become—so they’re trying to keep people from voting. That’s what the SAVE Act is.
It forces Americans to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register—something they know millions of Americans don't have. But that's the point.
I voted HELL NO.
ICE killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti—and the DOJ went after the victims instead of the agents who pulled the trigger.
I confronted AG Bondi today. This was an execution, and she's running cover for it.
It's exactly why I wrote the Deadly Force Independent Review Act—to end the coverups.
The GOP cut SNAP & food assistance. They kicked people off Medicaid. They cut ACA tax credits for millions.
Then used that money to give BILLIONS to donors, corporations, the Mar-a-Lago class—and to turn ICE into Trump's bloated and poorly trained revolutionary guard.
We are going to ABOLISH ICE.
Gov. Lee rejected Summer EBT funding for kids in Memphis and TN-9, but I won't stop fighting for it.
I’ve always voted to fund Summer EBT because kids still need to eat when school's out. The money is there, but Gov. Lee refused it—AGAIN.
This is wrong. I’m fighting in Congress to change course.
Dignity. Grace. Love.
Trump hasn’t just abused the pardon power—he’s commercialized it: a get-out-of-jail card for the wealthy and well-connected.
I introduced a Constitutional amendment in 2017 to put limits on presidential pardons and stop these abuses, and I’ve reintroduced ever since then. Presidents aren’t kings.
