Ms. Crockett is a true leader and a fearless fighter - she’s more than earned the position of ranking member on the House Oversight Committee!

On Day One, Trump tried to freeze all of the thousands of projects funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. But the pushback was intense, and a court order made clear this was unlawful (reaffirmed today in fact), so he backed down. We can learn a lot from this! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

Wilma Mankiller was the first woman to be the Principal Chief in the Cherokee nation. She grew up in OK & CA as US Govt was disbanding & dispersing tribes across the US. She returned to OK & began working locally revitalizing her community. This led to her election as Principal from 1985-95, won 83%

Democrats who voted to censure AL Green for his peaceful protest went against everything Congressman John Lewis stood for.
Democrats must start making “Good Trouble”.
Let’s break some rules to save our country.

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.
