This is an insult. A disgrace. And a betrayal of the promises made to Black people.

We need systemic protections, not symbolic gestures.

Accountability cannot be optional.

Biden held off in revealing his diagnosis for strategic reasons.

Perhaps most alarmingly, those same House Republicans who decry socialism on one hand are pushing American farmers to take more money from the government and less from the marketplace. That sounds a lot like socialism to me.

Instead of working with Democrats to lower costs from President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs, House Republicans have decided to pull the rug out from under families by cutting the SNAP benefits that 42 million Americans rely on to put…

I don’t think it’s coincidental that this was announced this week.

Some would say, 'Boy, this is getting way too political for a commencement address.' But I would argue: I wouldn't be honoring my oath if I didn't address this head on.

This is what the crumbling of rule of law looks like in real time. And it's exactly what the founders of this nation feared: A tyrant, abusing power to persecute scapegoats and enemies.

Right now, more than any other time in my lifetime, we need you to live up to the oath that you're about to make. Because, I have to be honest with you: You are graduating into a genuine emergency.

This means more seniors, veterans, people with disabilities and children will go to bed hungry. It means farmers, who are already operating on razor-thin margins, will see billions in lost revenue.

The American people that this bill was crafted for may not have an army of D.C. lobbyists to defend them but they do have us, and they do have President Trump.
