Last night in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris just gave me the pep talk and advice I never knew I needed. 🥹

Our generation is ready to lead and I couldn’t be more grateful for her passion for our country and the trail she’s blazed through for all of us.

As I said on @MSNBC: Being young isn’t a barrier, it’s about meeting the moment with hope, urgency, and vision. ✨

The good fight isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.

I just had a chance to talk to Missouri State Rep @rayreedmo.bsky.social who spent the weekend+ sitting in the Missouri house chambers to bring attention to their redistricting fight.

I asked him why did he and Jeremy Dean and Elizabeth Fuchs do this if it’s not gonna change the outcome.

@rayreedmo.bsky.social, Jeremy Dean, and Elizabeth Fuchs hosted a sit-in inside the Missouri legislative chamber all weekend to protest Trump and Republicans’ craven gerrymandering scheme.

Democrats won’t back down when democracy is under threat.

Missouri House Reps @rayreedmo.bsky.social, Elizabeth Fuchs, and Jeremy Dean single-handedly organized a sit-in on the Missouri House floor after the House speaker refused to recognize their concerns about redistricting. It's been going on for nearly 70 hours. PLS...SHARE AND THANK THEM!

This week, my US House Rep Wesley Bell quibbled in front of a heated crowd about what the definition of “genocide” is. Can someone please send him this? Because it’s this.

Headline from The Guardian: According to Israel’s own data, the death rate in Gaza is 83%.

Earlier this week after session, I spent some time with my friend and California’s speaker of the House, Robert Rivas.

Speaker Rivas couldn’t have been more gracious and the California state Capitol couldn’t be more beautiful— innovation happens in California and I can’t wait for what’s to come.

Investing in the next generation of democrats, means investing in Jeremy Dean— He’s one of the smartest, kindest, and toughest people I know.

The road to breaking the GOP supermajority runs through Springfield. Let’s keep him in the fight!

More on this later but… I’ll be spending a lot of time this summer in rural districts explaining the concept of the “okie-doke” and who’s really fighting for the working class (Hint: its not republicans).

Democrats have a story to tell, just gotta tell it.

When you really came from St. Louis.
Raised in St. Louis.
You feel like you trailblaze for St. Louis.

I love where I’m from and I’ll do everything in my power to fight for it.

I ran for office so that other young people, especially young black kids, could see themselves in their government and understand that they have a stake in everything that goes on in the capitol building.

They’re what keeps me going.

Missouri Dem lawmaker Ray Reed: Do you feel comfortable with the KKK endorsing your idea?

GOP lawmaker who sponsored bill: “I don’t have an opinion…”

Nice work to @rayreedmo.bsky.social for calling out the stodgy old Republican on his bad idea.

Growing up black, you hear throughout your life all the things that you’re not. Now, I can say with certainty what I am: A member of the House of Representatives.

Had a great time having coffee this morning with my former boss and friend Governor Nixon. Everyday it’s a blessing to serve our communities and I’m so thankful for his leadership and wisdom.
