It’s a small part in a big movie, but for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, their scene in "Sinners" is a huge deal. buff.ly/gkIEJ8j

Trump’s one, big ugly bill will hurt every American — Republican or Democrat. These aren’t just numbers, these are people’s lives. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Congressman Troy A. Carter breaks down how it will hurt Louisiana and all Americans.

HOLY HELL! Look at what’s happening in LA! Someone call the National Guard! Oh, wait… that’s Jan 6… my bad 😳

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (@benniegthompson) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Trump refused to call the National Guard during the Jan 6th insurrection. But now he’s sending them into L.A. to respond to protests against immigration raids. No troops for rioters attacking democracy, but a whole show of force for people demanding justice. This speaks

🚨 Statement from Ranking Member Rep. Bennie G. Thompson: Trump is deploying Marines & Guard troops to LA against the Governor’s will - it’s illegal, unconstitutional, and pure political theater. We won’t let him trample the First Amendment to fuel another crisis.

I was arrested in in the Capitol Rotunda while protesting health care cuts as a pastor long before I came to the Senate. Now as a Senator, I am engaged in the same moral struggle. I won’t stop praying, fighting, and working to stop these cuts and defeat this Big Ugly Bill.

Well well well... Even House Homeland GOP members agree. Donald Trump isn’t arresting the “worst of the worst” they are going after any and everyone to meet a quota.

As former January 6 Committee Chair, I know what an attack on democracy looks like.   If they'll to do this to a US Senator, they'd do it to any of us.   Trump & Kristi Noem don’t want us to question what they do, they just want us to do what they say. We must hold them

Republicans are 'investigating' religious groups, charities, and other NGOs simply for assisting migrants with food and housing. They are simply trying to scare them into stopping the good work they have a right to do and have always done. Statement from Ranking Members

As former Chair of the January 6 Committee, I’ve seen what unchecked power looks like. Yesterday, a U.S. Senator was tackled and cuffed by DHS agents just for asking questions. This is the kind of authoritarian government Trump and Kristi Noem are running. We will hold them

President Trump claims he’s “Making America Great Again.” But he doesn’t understand what has always made America great.  Our freedom, our democracy, and our constitution. Caring for our veterans, not parading tanks around to celebrate one man. Improving healthcare for every

“Highly targeted” that’s why you’ve mistakenly arrested a U.S. Marshal? And terrorized pregnant mothers, kids with cancer, and teenage athletes? Your sloppy operation is racially profiling innocent Americans to meet your insane quota. We can all see it.
