“He was scared. He tripped and fell. He must have been so scared.”
Ryan Hinton’s cousin describes the 18-year-old’s final moments before Cincinnati police shot him dead.
His grandmother said: “We as Black people, we don’t deserve to be killled just because we’re running away from police.”

🚨🚨🚨There it is: an independent analysis showing that Republicans’ Medicaid cuts would lead to MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LOSING HEALTH CARE.
🚨🚨BREAKING -- A new CBO analysis shows that several policies Republicans are considering for slashing Medicaid spending would lead to millions of people losing health insurance coverage.
The analysis, requested by Democrats, says that per capita caps for the Medicaid expansion population would save $225 billion in federal spending and result in 1.5 million more uninsured people by 2034. Blocking provider taxes could save $668 billion and lead 3.9 million to lose coverage, per CBO.

All I want for Christmas is for @POTUS to #PublishTheERA and enshrine gender equality into the Constitution.
Thank you, @POTUS. The decision to commute the sentences of 37 people on federal death row, including Billie Jerome Allen of St. Louis, is historic.
From day one, we’ve pushed for the commutation of these sentences & an end to the death penalty.
Today’s action has saved lives.
BREAKING: President Joe Biden announced he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishments to life imprisonment mere weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. apnews.com/article/biden-dea…
Thank you to @RepPressley for her leadership and to every organizer & impacted person pushing for an affirmative public safety agenda. This breakthrough is a testament to our relentless work.
Together, we’ll keep pushing to end the racist & flawed death penalty nationwide.
From 2020-2022, @AmerenMissouri shut off power to 157,000 homes.
Now, Ameren is begging regulators to further raise electric rates to boost shareholder profits.
My constituents can’t afford this corporate greed. Learn more ⬇️

Everyone should have the right to affordable electricity, which is why @RepRashida, @RepBowman, & I introduced the Utilities as a Human Right Resolution.
We can’t allow for-profit companies to charge exorbitant prices for the services that we all need to live.
Thank you to my remarkable congressional team 💜
Through the toughest days and the best days, you’ve served St. Louis with love and an unwavering dedication to the people of Missouri’s First District.
Today, I voted to avert a government shutdown to protect families in Missouri’s First District.
Government funding should have been resolved on Wednesday. Instead Republicans—and Donald Trump—are letting Elon Musk drag our democracy around. Shameful.
The law is clear: no nation blocking U.S. humanitarian aid can receive U.S. weapons.
Proud to join @RepCasar & @RepSummerLee in urging the Biden Admin to withhold offensive weapons from the Israeli government.
Today, I'm leading 20 Members of Congress to demand that the Biden Admin withhold offensive weapons from the Israeli military.
U.S. law is clear: if the Netanyahu government does not allow sufficient food & medicine to enter Gaza, then the U.S. cannot send weapons.
ALT “We believe continuing to transfer offensive weapons to the Israeli government prolongs the suffering of the Palestinian people and risks our own national security by sending a message to the world that the U.S. will apply its laws, policies, and international law selectively,” the members wrote. “Furthermore, a failure to act will put Israeli lives in danger by prolonging Netanyahu’s war, isolating Israel on the international stage, and creating further instability in the region… While Israel made nominal progress in some areas, it overwhelmingly failed to meet the minimum standards laid out in the Administration’s own letter.”
