Memphis has lost its most important citizen, Fred Smith. Federal express is our economic engine.But also in anything that affected Memphis, Fred Smith was there as Citizen Smith. From the FedEx forum to the Liberty stadium, which is being updated with his help, to our world class zoo.Thank you Fred!

#Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery. It's a day to celebrate, honor the work of Black liberation, and recognize the work that remains ahead. It's about freedom, the most American value there is, and I was proud to cast my vote to make it a federal holiday.

Republicans are trying to repeal the FACE Act and eliminate protections for women seeking reproductive care. It’s a direct attack on women’s choice AND safety. I’ve stood for women's rights my entire career—and I always will. Thank you to those who showed up yesterday to support Planned Parenthood.

Trump’s $45M birthday parade is days away—some estimates say $90M. A mountain of YOUR tax dollars wasted so one man can feel like a king. I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to stop it. Not one Republican signed on. They’re either fine with it, or too scared to tell a man-child “no.”

🚨The House passed the TVA Transparency Act, a bill I co-led to open all TVA board, committee & subcommittee meetings to the public. This is about transparency & accountability. Like any other government agency, the people TVA serve should be able to see how decisions are made, no matter what.

I secured $1.275M for Hub North, a new Hospitality Hub campus in North Memphis that will house families facing homelessness. 60 homes, 4,000+ people served each year—many of them kids. This isn't just about shelter. It's about stability, dignity, and a shot at the life every child deserves.

Elon Musk doesn’t know enough about government—his wrecking crew at DOGE proved it. He came in with a chainsaw to gut programs that help real people. Healthcare. Education. Nutrition. All to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. He might be out but the GOP is still using the same chainsaw. ⬇️

Just Roberts gave him the gift of being immune from civil or criminal liability. Actions were in official duties. Pardons are in his official duties. He can sell them and he can’t be held in any jurisdiction for any crime.

I was honored to serve with Charlie Rangel for 10 years. A gentleman and a legislative giant, honored by Memphis with the I AM A MAN award, we stood together on healthcare, drug reform, Cuba & more. I was always proud to vote alongside him & the CBC. He was one of the greats. May he rest in peace.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives defending our country. When Members of Congress travel abroad, we often visit U.S. military cemeteries—like Normandy, where D-Day began. Standing among those graves is a powerful reminder of their sacrifice.
