January 6th was more than an attack on the Capitol it was an attack on democracy. The hate, violence, and division on display showed how deep the wounds are in our country. We can never forget, and we must stand against hate to heal and move forward. #StandAgainstHate
Traveled to MS’s 4th District to speak the truth & stand with those struggling. Some may not like me stepping outside my district, but when leaders stay silent, someone has to step up. We’ll get through this together.

MISSING IN ACTION‼️ @RepAlGreen demands "acting" FEMA Administrator testify. David Richardson is missing when he should have been on the ground in Texas. FEMA under his watch has delayed critical disaster aid. And @HomelandGOP is shielding him from accountability.
Praying in the House while preparing to vote for the Big Ugly Bill, one that cuts benefits for seniors, children, the sick, and struggling families. Hypocrisy at its finest. I will be voting HELL NO! #Hypocrisy
Our democracy suffers when lies are louder than laws!
153,910 people will lose care in Mississippi under this terrible bill, and they have the audacity to call it "Beautiful."
Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.” These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.
1 in 4 nursing homes would shut down under Trump’s budget bill. Trump and Republicans don’t give a damn about your grandma and grandpa.
Racist drivel. Now's a good time to remind everyone, Andy Ogles: – Faked a $320k campaign loan – Lied about being an economist – Got fired from his law enforcement job for not showing up And he wants to lecture anyone about upholding public trust? Sit down, fraud.
Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.
Be aware of your rights, everyone! Let’s keep getting involved in meaningful activism!
Trump refused the National Guard on Jan 6 during the Capitol attack. Now he’s sending troops to L.A. to silence protests for justice. No response for democracy’s defense, but heavy force against demands for fairness. Hypocrisy speaks volumes.
Help me create an appropriate caption… Add your caption below:
NEW: Ranking Member @BennieGThompson slams Secretary Noem for dismantling TSA’s Quiet Skies program and lying about it to score political points. She’s not fighting politicization - she is the politicization.
This administration is a prime example of the three C's: Chaos, Corruption, and Confusion!
Trump’s birthday parade is a $62M joke, $46M for the show, $16M in street damage. Meanwhile, he’s profiting off Bitcoin, sneakers, MAGA merch, and even asking Qatar for a $400M jet. This isn’t patriotism, it’s profiteering.
I had a great weekend with my community, spreading the word, showing up, and pushing for change. I went to the State of the People Power Tour at Tougaloo and rolled down to Gulfport with Stacey Abrams to support Sonya Williams Barnes for Mayor. Let’s keep the momentum going!
Still, there is no real evidence behind their fraud and abuse claims, just noise. No proof means it’s either a lie or hearsay. All I see is Trump-pleasing while Americans get left behind. Folks need to wake up and see who’s serving them and who’s just making money for his family.
