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. #StandAgainstHate

If you didn't know before today, history repeats itself. The question is: Why does it always seem to repeat the parts that oppress and silence certain communities? Let's start repeating the good by protecting Black representation, not eliminating it.
Bobby Harrison: Mississippi's redistricting efforts to eliminate Black districts after U.S. Supreme Court ruling could prove "everything old is new again." ow.ly/zoNS50ZbbCF

The fight for civil rights requires consistency, courage, and commitment. We cannot have allies who show up for one battle but disappear for the next. If you're going to stand with us, you must be prepared to stand with us all the way through.

Here we go again with Trump trying to control a false narrative. Facts matter. Evidence matters. Without either one, you don’t have a case.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating. Welker: Do you have evidence? Trump: All I have to do is look. Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

I was honored to join the M.W. Stringer Grand Lodge as it celebrated its 125th Homecoming in Jackson, MS on Saturday. Congratulations to Grand Master Tonie L. Crisler and the entire Masonic Family on this historic milestone.

Titles and labels can be misleading. Not everyone is a hero, and not everyone who claims Christianity lives by its principles.
This is no longer a coincidence. Six more Trump supporting, self professed "MAGA Christians" arrested for child sex crimes including two women, a retired police officer, and a fire fighter. Photo courtesy: @Suzierizzo1

Trump has repeatedly advanced policies that enriched himself and his businesses. Reports of stock trading while serving as President are yet another reminder that we are witnessing the most openly corrupt administration in modern American history.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais is a warning we cannot ignore. This ruling will shape redistricting battles across the South at the federal, state, and local levels. When we do not stand up, Black and Brown voters do not just lose a voice, we lose ground in housing, education, healthcare, economic opportunity, and civil rights. Let’s be clear. This fight over redistricting has never been about protecting your vote. It has always been about protecting their power. Getting involved in this fight matters because when you do not, you are surrendering.

I don't care what they say; we are committed to fighting this redistricting no matter what. There are more at stake than meets the eye, and we’ve come too far to ever turn around!

Last night on #PoliticsNation, I was joined by Rep. Yvette Clarke, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Rep. Bennie Thompson, Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Committee, to discuss the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on Louisiana redistricting and what it means for Black representation in America. What we are witnessing is not just a legal shift, it is a direct threat to decades of progress secured under the Voting Rights Act. As Congresswoman Clarke made clear, this decision could have generational consequences if we do not act. And Congressman Thompson reminded us that the very gains made since the Civil Rights Movement are now at risk of being rolled back. From Congress to city councils, the fight for fair representation is being challenged at every level. But as they both emphasized, the response must be just as strong, through organizing, voter registration, and turnout. This is a defining moment. The struggle continues, and we must meet it with action.

Ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun, that’s what we say in the country. Virginians made their move, backed a new map, and shifted the balance. Power looks different when the people decide to use it.
It’s official: Virginians have rejected Trump and Republicans’ efforts to rig the midterms. In less than 196 days, we will flip the House blue.

Our Dear Ole College Home now has stable, committed leadership. I’m confident Dr. Denise Jones-Gregory will take Jackson State to new heights. Join me in praying for and supporting her as our 14th President. The future of JSU is bright. Congratulations, Dr. Gregory!

Heinous. The leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers waged a violent assault on our democracy in service of Trump.  Trump is using the Justice Department to erase their convictions and rewrite history.  The rule of law is under attack.

Trying to depict himself as Jesus Christ is blatant blasphemy and a complete disgrace. It is offensive to people of faith and shows a level of arrogance that should concern every American. But truthfully, I’m not surprised.

When they start complaining about how things are right now, just remind them we voted for the Vice President, we chose clear, qualified leadership, not convicted chaos.

.@KamalaHarris: He lied. He told the American people he'd bring down prices and costs on day one. Instead of taking care of the average folks in America, he's been taking care of his rich friends. The cost of gas, food, unemployment, has gone up since he's become president
