As long as we are put in “our place” they’ll chew their own limbs down to the nub.

Now they say Texas isn’t winnable? After lecturing us that “Only Talarico can win in Texas?” Lolol. The way folk fall for the okie dokie Every single time.

The artist Andrea Fraser had long felt that she was to blame for the years her mother, Carmen de Monteflores, was overlooked. She started plotting a course to revive her mother’s career and belatedly secure her position in art history. Then curators for the 2026 Whitney Biennial came calling.

The EEOC has been weaponized under this administration, abandoning decades of civil rights enforcement and leaving millions of workers without protection from employment discrimination.

Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr. was a Freedom Rider, voting rights organizer, and lifelong teacher of nonviolence. From Selma to founding the URI Center for Nonviolence & Peace Studies, his courage helped move our nation closer to justice. May he rest in peace & power.

The Pentagon identified the two additional servicemembers killed in a drone strike at a Kuwait command center in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East: Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54 Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45 I extend my condolences and prayers to their families and loved ones.

Less than 24 hours after we exposed the ludicrous details behind Secretary Noem’s $220 million taxpayer funded ad campaign, she was fired. My reaction on The Lead with @jaketapper.bsky.social.

Trump repeatedly told seniors the One Big Ugly Law eliminated the tax on Social Security benefits. Republicans failed to include that provision in the final bill.

This morning, Chicago lays to rest Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, our neighbor, and my constituent who shaped the fight for justice. As I attend his memorial today, I honor his powerful legacy and impact on our city and the world. Rest in power, my friend.

War is not a meme, a video game, or a TikTok reel. The White House treating it as such is not just disgraceful -- it again shows a total lack of the seriousness, judgment, and respect for the high stakes of war that this moment demands.

My statement on the removal of Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary.

The warning signs are flashing. Lost jobs. Slowing hiring. Rising unemployment. The economy is sending a clear message: constant instability and careless leadership come with real consequences for working families who deserve better.

The Trump Administration has failed to provide an evacuation plan for American citizens abroad. That's why we're urging the State Department to take immediate action to support the evacuations of American citizens & provide protection for embassy personnel throughout the Middle East.

It was great, as always, to meet with the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners and CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson during their time in DC. It is an honor to serve GA-04 alongside these great leaders, and I am grateful for their partnership.

She held charity balls and contributed substantial time to taking care of the children. The Mary Day Nursery extended into a kindergarten ward for crippled children, this developed into Akron Children's Hospital. She served as president of Mary Day Nursery for six terms. She passed away in 1948.

Mary Perkins Raymond came from a family of philanthropists that contributed greatly to the health and prosperity of the Akron community. With the collaboration of Kings Daughters of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and other members of her family, she created Akron's first day care, Mary Day Nursery.

As I promised to my constituents, I voted against the DHS funding bill yesterday. I have no interest in providing funding to this rogue agency. ICE must be dismantled immediately to save lives. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Yesterday, I cast two solemn and important votes that spoke to our civil rights and security as well as upholding the U.S. Constitution. I wanted to share my thoughts with you the Homeland Security (ICE/CBP) funding bill and War Powers resolution.

I’ve been sounding alarm bells on Kristi Noem’s misuse of taxpayer dollars since last year. Noem may be gone from DHS, but Oversight Democrats will not stop investigating what appears to be blatant self-dealing, corruption, and a network of grift. There must be accountability.

Protecting young people’s mental health requires serious, thoughtful action. I encourage my colleagues to return to the negotiating table and work with us to develop a real, meaningful, and comprehensive plan.

Our hearing on children’s online safety and privacy bills was tainted by pressure from Big Tech to protect their interests over the safety of Americans. My Republican colleagues say the Kids Internet Digital and Safety Act isn’t a perfect bill — I say it’s not even close. youtu.be/s53Z_DsF0-0?...

Trump suspended an SEC fraud investigation into a crypto billionaire just weeks after that billionaire invested $75 million into Trump's company. That is corruption in plain sight.

At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isn’t possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.

This news is damning evidence of Donald Trump's irresponsible & chaotic policies. He is shamefully harming our economy and as a result, working people are losing their jobs—especially Black women.
