Today is the 4 year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.

I was honored to meet George’s family while advocating for the passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, reintroduced by my TX colleague Sheila Jackson Lee.

Congress must pass this bill. 4 years is long enough.

Today, I led a second letter to Justice Alito calling on him to recuse. The public is rapidly losing faith in the Supreme Court, which is dangerous to our very democracy. Alito must recuse. You can find our full letter below.

Two years ago, 19 children and two educators in Uvalde were murdered by a teenager with an AR-15 style rifle. 400 officers were on the scene. None stopped it.

Since then, little has changed in TX to prevent the next massacre. These souls deserve better. houstonchronicle.com/projects/2022/…

This is what our Administration’s student debt cancellation looks like in real life – giving hardworking Americans the breathing room they deserve.

As a former wrongful detainee in Russia, I would just like to remind everyone that President Trump had the ability to get myself and Paul Whelan out of Russia for years and chose not to. I would be skeptical of any claims about getting Evan Gershkovich back in a day.

Some #FarmBill math:

CBO estimates the outlays for Title I and XI will cost $48B.

Limits to CCC (which supports sustainable farming programs) would 'save' $8B.

48 - 8 = 40.

You don't need a PhD in Applied Mathematics to see that leaves us $40 billion in the red.

Today’s pod: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett on the absurd House oversight committee, B6 MTG, the farm bill, & how Dems can stem the tide with black voters.

Don't let a single Republican lawmaker tell you this isn't what they envisioned when they passed these laws. They knew the cruelties they would force on women and their families - they just didn't care.

to be fair, 9:75 a.m. is a tough time to be reading

People who once received SNAP benefits:

Bruce Springsteen
Dr. Ben Carson
Sen. Patty Murray
Flipboard CEO Mike McCue

There are many people who would not have survived poverty to reach the middle class and beyond if not for SNAP.

If 'zero change' means 'the future benefits recipients would have received if this bill didn't pass will be cut by $30 billion' then sure.

But where I come from, that's called a cut.

Which is it? Did we bring ideas to the table or didn't we?

Republicans have changed their story so many times we are just trying to keep up.
