Ever wonder what you could do with $1.776 billion in Memphis? Trump wants to hand that out to his lackeys, but my colleagues and I introduced the No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Fund Act to stop him.
Last night I joined Freedom House in celebrating 85 years of defending democracy. I was proud to see one of the freed prisoners, Vladimir Kara-Murza, who I championed as the envoy of the Helsinki Commision for political prisoners, a special part of my career.
Memphis has always been at the center of the fight for civil rights, and this is no different. Overturning the Voting Rights Act takes away from everything Dr. King bled and died fighting for. Alito, Thomas, and Roberts must be impeached.
I love Memphis. I represented Memphis. I fought for Memphis. I’ve lived and breathed Memphis all my life. These new maps don’t represent our city, which is why I am still fighting for Memphis in court.
With the new TN districts broken up 29%, 29%, and 32% Black the only thing not adding up here is the GOP’s claim this new map “isn’t about race”. I’m no mathematician, but if you see a pattern, assume it’s telling you something. Numbers don’t lie— people do.
After 19 years serving the 9th District, I made the decision to not run in the new gerrymandered districts created from it. If the courts restore the current 9th until 2028, I’ll remain a candidate, though that’s unlikely. Representing Memphis for 47 years has been the honor of my lifetime.

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.
John Roberts says the SCOTUS isn't political, then scurries to service the GOP when they can't win on their own merit. What did the SCOTUS do when Trump got nervous after VA? They JUMPED INTO ACTION to gut the VRA and steal the voice of an entire city. They're the political arm of the White House.
The TN GOP is willing to strip away voting rights that people died for—and to deny the second largest city in their own state effective representation in Congress for decades to come—just to try and help Trump avoid Democratic oversight for another 2 years. Memphis isn't going down without a fight.
Vladimir thank you for your post. You have been and always will be an inspiration to me not to give up and to fight against all odds for justice and democracy
