It bears repeating. No one is above the law.

No one should struggle to pay for the prescription drugs they depend on.

That's why Democrats capped insulin prices at $35/month for Medicare beneficiaries in the Inflation Reduction Act. 4,000 of my constituents are already saving $450/year on insulin costs.

The 114th #NAACPConvention ended on a high note!

Affirmative action seeks to repair faults that continue to exist in America due to the legacy of slavery and government-sanctioned racial discrimination.

We must right these generational wrongs.

The NAACP remembers Harry Belafonte as a steadfast advocate for civil rights and a trailblazing entertainer who paved the way for the countless Black actors who followed him.

We send our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones. #RestInPower

To all of the people calling to defund PBS and NPR, here are some facts:

- NPR receives approximately 0.6% of their funding from federal grants. The vast majority of their funding comes from corporate sponsors, and donations.
- Fox News has saved millions of dollars through dodging US taxes by opening shell companies in the Cayman Islands and elsewhere.
- Tesla, SpaceX and Solar City all receive substantially more in government funding than NPR.

Great news – last month the annual inflation rate fell to its lowest level in almost two years.

With the unemployment rate near a 50-year low and labor force participation back to pre-pandemic levels, it’s clear @POTUS' economic plan is working.

Investors Ashley D. Bell & Bernice A. King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. & Coretta Scott King, acquired the women-led, Utah-based Holladay Bank & Trust.

The investors intend to rename the institution Redemption Bank & provide financial services to Black communities. 👏🏾

Gun violence continues to be a public health crisis. This statistic gathered by @KFF paints a stark picture of where we stand. The time to act is NOW before more lives are lost to this senseless violence.

On Easter Sunday, 1939, Marian Anderson concluded her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial with a composition by Florence Price. These women navigated & faced many of the worst elements of US culture & used their artistry, power, & grace to cultivate & bring out the best.

ICYMI: NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP spoke with @CNN this morning about the Mississippi legislature's decision to pass a bill that would limit the city of Jackson's ability to govern itself.

"This is simply retaliation against the city of Jackson."
