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.

ICYMI: Trump is stopping the USDA from tracking how many people don’t have enough to eat. Why? The Big Ugly Law steals food from millions of hungry Americans in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. No coverup can hide the GOP’s shameless agenda.

We’re winning in courts, marching in the streets, and standing united for our people. As VP Harris said, “Sometimes the fight takes a while; that doesn’t mean we won’t win.” Keep the faith, protect our communities, and stay watchful for truth over misinformation and any attempt to divide us.

Mississippi has lost over $15 billion since the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) was passed. Mississippi refused to take the money, and as a result, people are dying, and hospitals are about to close.

Today, the President plans to sign this devastating bill into law. The full impact may not be felt immediately, but America will feel its weight in time. Despite our amendments, calls, & protests, they passed it. When 2026 comes and it’s time to choose new leaders, let us not forget who put us here.

Now that this ugly bill has passed the Senate, it returns to the House—and let me be clear: I will be voting NO again. I refuse to sell out the very people who sent me to Congress. My constituents come first—always. I will never sell them out, not now, not ever.

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.”

Trump refused to call in the National Guard when the Capitol was under siege on January 6. But now, he’s deploying troops to L.A. to crack down on protests against immigration raids. No National Guard for the attack on democracy yet a full show of force against people demanding justice. Hypocrisy

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.

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 making money for his family.

Lies. Lies. And more lies. I pressed Secretary Noem for written proof and she had nothing. Just like the rest of this administration: loud on claims and silent on facts.

The GOP is out here trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America because clearly that’s the emergency, while Americans are out here losing healthcare, housing, and food benefits. We see exactly where GOP priorities lie.

We thank Jasmine for being a bold and brilliant light on Graduation Day. Though Tougaloo has since received troubling threats, we stand firm. The College has taken swift action to ensure campus safety, and we remain unshaken. Tougaloo has endured for generations, and we will continue to stand.

This weekend, I welcomed Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to Mississippi. She is a true force in Congress. Her boldness, brilliance, and deep love for justice inspire us all. She’s more than a colleague; she’s like family. The future belongs to leaders like her.

The Trump administration’s attempt to remove exhibits from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is a blatant attack on Black history. Erasing our past won’t change the truth. We will not be silenced.

One key difference between Democrats and Republicans? We Dems back our claims with facts and evidence. They make noise and hope you’ll believe it—it's time for the GOP to start showing receipts instead of just running their mouths.

As Democrats, we can't continue to play nice because we’re dealing with an administration that is the polar opposite of what we believe. It’s just as simple as that!
