I never thought I would wake up to read the news that you’re gone. You were a true servant, and showed the rest of us how it’s done. I’m so thankful for our friendship. Rest well God’s true and faithful servant. There will never be another like you. #SylvesterTurner

Mayor @tishaura.bsky.social has spent years advocating for holistic solutions to address gun violence, while pushing back against state laws that would put the community and lives at risk. That's why I'm all in for her re-election! 🗳️🙌🏾

Thank you @mayorwu.boston.gov for leading this and thank you @tishaura.bsky.social for joining and advocating for STL! Trump's drastic cuts to federal research funding would not only cost human lives but also completely devastate our city economically; the damage cannot be overstated. Thank you.
mayorwu.boston.gov Office of Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 @mayorwu.boston.gov · Feb 20
The City of Boston is leading 40+ mayors, cities, and counties in an amicus brief against the Trump Administration's drastic and illegal cuts to federal research funding—cuts that will lead to immediate job losses nationwide.
COALITION OF MAYORS ACROSS U.S. FILE AMICUS BRIEF IN OPPOSITION TO TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S DRASTIC CUTS TO FEDERAL RESEARCH FUNDING Led by the City of Boston, MA, City of Cleveland, OH, the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, TN, the Mayor of Gainesville, FL, and the Mayor of Salt Lake City, UT, over 40 mayors, cities, and counties argue that NIH cuts will cause job losses, economic disruption, and undermine U.S. competitiveness BOSTON - Thursday, February 20, 2025 - Late yesterday, Mayor Michelle Wu co-led a coalition of Mayors from across the United States in writing and filing an amicus brief in federal district court in Boston to stop the Trump Administration's drastic and illegal cuts to federal research funding and immediate job losses in cities nationwide. Over 40 mayors, cities, and counties from across the country joined the brief. These cities are home to universities and hospitals that employ hundreds of thousands of Americans in cutting edge medical and scientific research, and the federally-funded research in these communities has made the United States the global leader in scientific discovery. The brief seeks a temporary restraining order against the Trump Administration, alongside the research universities, medical schools, hospitals, and 22 states that are plaintiffs in the three cases filed last week in federal district court. “For decades, Congress has made a clear choice to use federally-funded research to invest in cities, build a broadly-distributed infrastructure for scientific discovery, create jobs, and drive economic growth in communities across the United States,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “We join with cities across the country – in red states, purple states, and blue states – to stop this illegal action that will cause layoffs, lab closures, and undermine scientific progress in American cities. I thank Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell for her leadership on behalf of the research institutions of Boston.” This amicus brief is in response to the abrupt February 7, 2025 announcement by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of an immediate reduction in funding for scientific and medical research institutions across the country. Under the NIH’s new policy, which temporarily went into effect on Monday, February 10, payments for indirect costs reimbursed to research universities would be capped at 15%, down from 30-70%. The brief makes clear that NIH funding cuts would devastate research institutions in cities across the county, cause job losses, create severe economic disruption, and undermine a critical pillar of strength and civic pride in cities across the United States. The cuts would also undermine critical medical and scientific research that residents are counting on, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, and jeopardize the cities’ and country’s position of global leadership on scientific advancement. “The Gainesville community depends on this highly efficient, dependable investment of our tax dollars back into our city’s innovation economy,” said Harvey L. Ward, Mayor, City of Gainesville, Florida. “I’m glad to join other mayors in highlighting the vital role NIH funding plays in the lives of everyday hardworking American families.” “The breadth and diversity of this coalition highlights the devastating and widespread impact of these NIH funding changes, from Alzheimer’s research to cancer clinical trials,” said Jill Habig, Founder and CEO of Public Rights Project. “We’re proud to partner with mayors, cities, and counties in opposing this threat to critical federal funding and the health and vitality of our communities.” On Monday, February 10th, twenty two states and associations of medical schools, hospitals, and universities, filed three related cases, and secured a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump Administration from slashing the reimbursement rates. That initial order will be revisited this week in a hearing scheduled for Feb. 21. The Public Rights Project served as amici counsel.

I’ve also set up recurring donations to @tishaura.bsky.social for her mayoral campaign. I’m 1000% not in the mood for this fight, but it’s way too important to give up without one. We have a smart, savvy, energetic mayor who already knows how to Mayor. We should keep her. Support Black women. ⚜️

Two main take aways about the travel story.
1) I work 24/7 without PTO.
2) I travel for city business using my own money.

Random thought: I really hope this platform doesn’t devolve into the fist fight that X/Twitter has become. Every time I log on that site I see nothing but trolls hurling insults back and forth.

It’s official!

This morning, with my dad and my campaign team by my side, I turned in over 200 pages of signatures to file for re-election for Mayor of the City of St. Louis.

While some may be done with politics, I made a choice to stay in the game!

Keep me in your prayers.

God bless.
