The Court just ruled Trump’s global tariffs were “ultra vires” and “contrary to law.” Translation? He made it all up. No authority. Just vibes and ego. This is what happens when you let a wannabe authoritarian play president.

Elon came to Washington thinking he could run the government like one of his companies—firing people left and right, gutting essential services, and tearing this shit up from the ground up.

Oh, so now we care about what people post on social media? Wild how student visas are getting paused for a vibe check, but some of y’all have been posting red flags for years and still got a security clearance. Make it make sense.

NPR is suing Trump. Why? Because he slashed their funding just for doing their job—which is political retaliation. He’s trying to silence public media because they don’t bow down to his ego. News flash: the First Amendment doesn’t disappear just because you don’t like the coverage, Donnie.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Charlie Rangel. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. A fearless fighter for Harlem. A decorated veteran who never stopped serving the people.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything in service to this country. As we pause to reflect, let’s remember: the best way to honor the fallen is to stand up for the living—by ensuring our veterans & their families get the care, respect, & resources they need to thrive.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”? It’s bullshit. It’s a straight-up scam that abandons working families and rigs the system even more for the rich. They’re slashing jobs and gutting the very resources that people need to survive—while calling it “fiscal responsibility.”

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Thank you to Southern University at New Orleans for the honor of serving as your 2025 commencement speaker, and for the incredible gift of an honorary doctorate. To the graduates: They underestimated SUNO. They underestimated you. But you pushed through every obstacle, every setback, & still rose.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

The courts just stopped Trump from dismantling the Dept. of Education. Newsflash: you don’t get to gut public education without Congress. Thousands of workers? Saved. Public education? Protected. Dictatorship? Denied.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

The DOJ found that police in Louisville and Minneapolis were violating people’s civil rights—so they created a plan to fix it, with rules the departments had to follow. Now Trump’s DOJ wants to shut it down… like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd’s lives didn’t mean a damn thing.

This is real life, y’all. These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy. Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

While folks were wrapping up their weekends, House Republicans were sneaking through Trump’s tax scam—one that slashes Medicaid, cuts food assistance, and makes the rich richer. If this bill passes all the way through, 13.7 million people will lose their healthcare coverage.

Texas businesses are resilient—but they shouldn’t have to survive Trump’s trade chaos. Tariffs = taxes, which means hiring is down, costs are rising, and families are paying the price. All while billionaires get more tax breaks.

Elon’s lil DOGE tried to roll up on GAO like they run Congress. Let me be clear: GAO works for US—not Trump or Elon. DOGE can’t shrink what it doesn’t control. Stay in your lane.

Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right. So I’m glad the Supreme Court decided to uphold the Constitution instead of letting Trump weaponize an 18th-century law.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Medicaid is NOT a handout. It’s how 4.8M Texans survive. Republicans want to cut $715B from it while handing out tax cuts to billionaires. That’s not “fixing” the budget, it’s disrespect for the people who need it most — and voting for that is un-American, plain and simple.

This man told y’all he had “concepts of a plan”… and it turns out the plan was to ask Big Pharma nicely and hope for the best. Folks are rationing insulin and he’s out here signing executive suggestions. Be serious.
