How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Didn’t win again this year, but with 4 NAACP Image Award nominations and, more importantly, hearing how #SundayCivics empowers you to take civic action, I know I’m walking in my purpose. Thank you to everyone who voted—and to those who learn with me every Sunday morning!

In the Senate, I proposed blocking tax breaks for people who make over $10 million a year. Every Republican voted no. Republicans then refused to rule out tax breaks for people who make over $100 million. And $500 million. Is ANYONE too rich to get a giveaway from the GOP?

Your elected officials should work for you & not a future in lobbying. We passed HBs 4062-64, creating a mandatory 2-year cooling-off period before certain state officials can engage in lobbying. We'll continue pushing for increased transparency, including expanding #FOIA.

Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists. The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
