Today, on his 85th birthday, I am honoring my dear friend and mentor, John Lewis. His dedication to this country and his battles against civil injustices will never be forgotten. We must persevere through the noise and remain committed to advocating for social change as he did. #JohnLewisSelfie

We need to embody the spirit of Dr. Tommie Smith & Dr. John Carlos—their audacity, their resilience, & their unwavering commitment to justice. We cannot and will not allow history to be erased. Their courage changed the world, & it is up to us to carry that legacy forward. youtu.be/mK0MDYGUg9g?...

Our veterans should not have to fight with Elon Musk and Donald Trump for their jobs or adequate care. This administration’s efforts to shrink the government are hurting veterans—all to make room for billionaires tax cuts. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

I led a letter to Chief Justice Roberts emphasizing the critical need for a judiciary that is seen as independent, fair, and legitimate… A binding code of conduct with an enforcement mechanism for our nation’s apex court would give us a Supreme Court not just in name, but in reality.

On the 7th anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, my heart remains with the 17 people who lost their lives, those who were injured, and the loved ones who mourn these unimaginable losses. Our children should not have to live in fear of gun violence.

116 years ago, the NAACP was founded. They've stood on the frontlines, fighting civil injustices & advocating for civil rights. At a time when attacking Black history & dismantling DEI are coming from our own government, let's reaffirm the fight for justice & fairness & ensure it continues.

Elon Musk, a private citizen, shouldn't have access to your personal data. Instead of introducing legislation to curb this overreach and lower prices, Republicans are more concerned with whether Elon will bankroll them in the primaries.

An unelected, unappointed billionaire with special interests is rampaging through millions of Americans' Social Security numbers and personal information—and we're supposed to think this is fine?

Instead of going after billionaires & big corporations to lower costs, Trump is imposing tariffs on our neighboring allies while going soft on China—driving up prices on gas, groceries, and housing, killing jobs, and straining supply chains. American workers will pay the price.

If you are one of the federal government employees who received Trump's “Fork In The Road” memo, don't be tricked or frightened into resigning. You can't depend on a promise to pay you for 8 months, from a guy with a history of not paying people who work for him. Know you rights.

I pledge to you that we will continue to let you know what’s going on so you can be inspired to do what you have to do to protect yourself & your loved ones & also give a little back to your community. Those values are still here despite the fact that Trump does not have them.

Trump vowed to be a dictator on day one. By slashing federal funding passed by Congress–a plan right out of Project 2025–this illegal plan threatens democracy, hurts farmers, raises rent and grocery prices, makes college less affordable, and undermines disease-fighting efforts.

Trump is acting like a dictator, repeatedly ignoring the laws of Congress. He will continue to impose authoritarian rule unless stopped in the courts. But, will he even abide by Supreme Court rulings he disagrees with? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

The Neighbors Not Enemies Act sponsored by @repilhan.bsky.social & @hirono.senate.gov repeals the Alien Enemies Act, preventing the internment & deportation of people with no due process based solely on their nationality. It’s past time we end this archaic law. #NeighborsNotEnemies

This is like the federal government withdrawing federal troops from the South in 1877, which ended Reconstruction and ushered in the Jim Crow Era. It’s straight-out racism. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

To his credit Mike Johnson learned from the 15 round debacle of 2 years ago. Instead of trying to jam his conference with a quick second round he held the vote open while some backroom arm twisting & hand wringing took place. The result: 2 changed vote, enough to win the gavel.

With another Republican vote against Mike Johnson, Round 2 of the Speaker’s vote appears inevitable. No matter how many roll calls it takes Democrats will stand united as Republicans engage in a spectacle of disunity.
