My house companion of 10 years, Little Black Kitty, died last weekend at age 10 or 11. She never talked about her age. She was too young to die.Value your four-legged friends. They sure make life better.

ICE should be abolished.
Kristi Noem should be impeached.
She promised to go after the "worst of worst". She hasn’t. 75% of people they're apprehending have NO criminal record. ICE seems to be the worst of the worst. Minimal training, minimal standards.

I voted HELL NO on Republicans' DHS funding bill.
They want to pour billions of taxpayer dollars into ICE—an agency that LIED about targeting "the worst of the worst" and instead targets people with no criminal record.
ICE is the worst of the worst. We need to abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Great to see former Vice President Kamala Harris during her visit to Memphis last week.
I was proud to support her candidacy and appreciated that she toured the National Civil Rights Museum.

Members of Congress should not be trading stocks while serving in office. It’s an obvious conflict, and any real ban should apply to Presidents and Supreme Court Justices as well.
Republicans don't want to allow a vote on that kind of bill.
So today I signed a discharge petition to force one.

Dr. King taught that injustice is measured by how those in power treat people with the least protection.
On this MLK Day, that test is clear. Targeting vulnerable families with raids and deportations, responding to protest with deadly violence, and attacking health care and SNAP is a moral failure.

We cannot accept a DHS Secretary who lets federal agents shoot an American citizen and walk away without accountability. I’ve called for Kristi Noem’s immediate resignation and have joined the effort to impeach her. ICE is out of control & irreparable—it’s time to uproot this agency and start again.

We’ve all seen the video. An ICE officer shot Renee Good as she tried to drive away—then agents rendered no aid and left the scene.
And instead of accountability the Trump admin smeared her as a domestic terrorist.
This demands consequences. Noem has to resign, and I'm calling for her impeachment.

Central banks don’t exist to deliver political convenience. When leaders interfere, currencies weaken, markets lose trust, and working people pay more.
That’s why the Fed MUST be independent—and it's why Trump going after Jerome Powell for refusing to politicize interest rates is so dangerous.

On the House floor today, I stood with my friend Gabby Giffords on the anniversary of the 2011 shooting she survived. I’ve spent years working to curb gun violence — earning an F rating from the NRA, which I take as a great honor. Gabby’s courage is a constant reminder of why this fight matters.

Calling this “domestic terrorism” was a lie.
An ICE operation ended with a woman shot and killed, and the President and his team immediately made things up to try and justify it.
I taught police law. This shooting was unjustified.
ICE’s training and tactics are reckless — this is the result.
