We’re winning in courts, marching in the streets, and standing united for our people. As VP Harris said, “Sometimes the fight takes a while; that doesn’t mean we won’t win.” Keep the faith, protect our communities, and stay watchful for truth over misinformation and any attempt to divide us.

Praying in the House, while preparing to vote away benefits for seniors, children, and the sick. Hypocrisy at its finest.

153,910 people will lose care in Mississippi under this terrible bill, and they have the audacity to call it "Beautiful."

Trump refused to call in the National Guard when the Capitol was under siege on January 6.
But now, he’s deploying troops to L.A. to crack down on protests against immigration raids.
No National Guard for the attack on democracy yet a full show of force against people demanding justice.

I had a great weekend with my community, spreading the word, showing up, and pushing for change. I went to the State of the People Power Tour at Tougaloo and rolled down to Gulfport with Stacey Abrams to support Sonya Williams Barnes for Mayor. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Traveled to MS’s 4th District to speak the truth & stand with those struggling. Some may not like me stepping outside my district, but when leaders stay silent, someone has to step up. We’ll get through this together.

This weekend, I welcomed Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to Mississippi. She is a true force in Congress. Her boldness, brilliance, and deep love for justice inspire us all. She’s more than a colleague; she’s like family. The future belongs to leaders like her.

The Trump administration’s attempt to remove exhibits from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is a blatant attack on Black history. Erasing our past won’t change the truth. We will not be silenced. #PreserveBlackHistory

I am often blown away by the artistry of those in MS02. This portrait, titled "Accountability" by Sabrina Howard, tells a profound story of our work on January 6.
