You would think I was asking hard questions…

They were talking about books, mailing lists, and “definitions” like we were debating the weather instead of condemning hate groups.

We still haven’t had a real hearing on the rise of white supremacist violence, the lives lost, or the extremist groups empowered by dangerous Republican rhetoric.

But somehow, Republicans found time to hold a hearing claiming the Southern Poverty Law Center is “manufacturing hate.”

Meanwhile, they’re defending an almost $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund that could put money in the pockets of January 6 extremists — including people tied to white supremacist groups that attacked our democracy.

Y’all can miss me with the performative outrage.

Working families are struggling to afford groceries, gas, rent, and healthcare — taxpayers should not be forced to bankroll political revenge tours and payouts for Donald Trump and his cronies.

That’s why I introduced the STOP TRUMP Act — to make it clear that taxpayer dollars are not a personal slush fund for presidents, political loyalists, or extremists who participated in an attack on our democracy.

The American people are watching the courts abandon precedent, ignore the Constitution, and bend over backwards to give Donald Trump whatever he wants.

Every ruling like this further erodes people’s faith in institutions that are supposed to be independent, credible, and grounded in the law.

It quite literally couldn’t be clearer that this man does not care about you. “Not even a little bit” — his words, not mine.

Working families are struggling to pay for groceries, keep the lights on, and fill up their gas tanks…and he couldn’t care less.

You deserve better.

This should not be a partisan issue — but Republicans have made it one.

This is the same party that claims to stand for law and order, transparency, and protecting women and girls. But they couldn’t even be bothered to show up and hear directly from Epstein survivors.

Their complicity is loud — but their absence was even louder.

To every survivor: thank you for continuing to speak out. Our systems have failed you but we hear you, we believe you, and we will keep fighting until you get the justice you deserve.

ICE’s secret flights keep families in the dark and block our casework teams from giving our constituents the help they need.

We are demanding the FAA work with Congress to bring these ‘ghost flights’ into the light and ensure every flight meets the basic safety and humanitarian standards our neighbors deserve.

To the mothers, grandmothers, bonus mamas, and all the women who love on us, sacrifice for us, and hold everything together—we see you and we thank you. The world keeps turning because of y’all. Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Over 3 million Virginians spoke loud and clear in a free and fair election — and now, because MAGA Republicans didn’t like the outcome, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the results of the election.

Let’s call this what it is: voter suppression. They keep losing when people actually vote, so instead of changing their policies, they keep trying to silence the voices of the people.

The power belongs to the people — and every attempt to silence voters only exposes how afraid they are of the people’s voice.

Exactly one week after the Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Republicans in Tennessee decided to pass racist congressional maps eliminating the ONLY majority-Black district in the state — all to appease the rotting, deranged man in the Oval Office. What a damn shame.  
 
Since Donald Trump took office, he has been laser-focused on suppressing Black voters. Let’s stop pretending this is about “fair maps” or “election integrity.” This is racism. Full stop. This is white supremacy operating exactly as it was designed to — minimizing Black voices, weakening Black political power, and silencing opposition from communities they do not want represented. 
 
We are watching a coordinated attack on Black progress happen in real time. From attacks on voting rights, to attacks on DEI and affirmative action, to the removal of qualified Black leaders from positions they earned — the goal is the same: erase us, silence us, and strip us of power and opportunity without consequence. 
 
Nothing about this is surprising or shocking, we’ve seen their playbook before — we saw it in Texas, we saw it in Louisiana, and now we are seeing it in Tennessee. 
 
Poll taxes, literacy tests, intimidation, beatings, firebombings, and lynchings – they were all tools of white supremacy designed to keep Black people politically powerless. Black people were murdered for trying to register to vote, for organizing their communities, and for demanding a seat at the table.  
 
The Voting Rights Act was enacted because this country had already proven, over generations, that racism would always find a way to weaponize the law against Black people. 
 
This should not be a partisan issue. No matter your party, every American should be able to agree that racism, voter suppression, and the deliberate silencing of Black communities have no place in our democracy. 
 
But here is what they have yet to realize: Black people in this country have never stopped fighting for democracy. Racism will not stop or silence a people whose ancestors shed blood for the right to vote. They can try, but they will not win. We will not be moved.
