"A shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shut down means the president is weak". - Donald Trump, CBS “Face The Nation” Interview (2013)

Republicans refused to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, which will cause tens of millions of Americans to face dramatically increased premiums, copays, and deductibles when the cost of living is already too high. These cuts MUST be cancelled and healthcare must be saved.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The energy at #ALC54 was like no other! Power, policy, and progress weren’t just words, they were our marching orders.

We are leaving ALC inspired and ready to act. #madeforthismoment

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference kicked off with powerful voices, critical conversations, and unified action for progress. Ready to engage, learn, and drive change together! We’re ready for Day 2!

People who rely on the same tired stereotypes about Black individuals do so because they lack the intelligence to recognize Black humanity. Their inability to see beyond harmful tropes reflects their own intellectual limitations and failure to understand basic human dignity.

Happy Founders’ Day to Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.!

Most importantly, the bill establishes an independent Office of the Civil Rights Ombudsperson to assist farmers navigating the civil rights review process, holding the USDA accountable for discriminatory practices, harassment, retaliation, or civil rights-violating actions.

The bill
establishes food hub grants, new tax incentives, and directs USDA to prioritize purchasing from socially disadvantaged farmers, confronting longstanding discrimination inequities perpetuated under the USDA.

Rep. David Scott (GA-13) introduced the Black Farmers and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers Increased Market Share Act to expand market access for Black and historically disadvantaged minority farmers.

National Voter Registration Day reminds us our vote is under siege. Black communities have always led the fight for voting rights. They fear our power because when we vote together, we change everything. Make sure you’re registered. Already registered? Check your registration again!

Let’s celebrate the rich cultures, vibrant traditions, and incredible contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Their stories enrich us all!

Today we honor Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Addie Mae Collins & Carole Robertson: four beautiful souls lost 62 years ago when white supremacists bombed Birmingham's 16th St Baptist Church. We also honor survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, whose courage in sharing her story keeps their memory alive.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Read more here.

Earlier this year, SCOTUS let Trump fire labor and civil service board members, but specifically protected the Federal Reserve, calling it a “uniquely structured” entity insulated from presidential control.

On 9/11’s 24th anniversary, we honor our unity as one nation. We remember innocent lives lost, brave first responders, and dedicated military members. Let’s carry forward this spirit of togetherness.

Good. Trump's attempt to illegally fire Governor Cook cannot stand.

The courts must uphold the law and Chairman Powell must affirm the Fed's independence.

Trump and Republicans are trying to rig the next election by diluting the vote of Black, Brown, and minority voters across the nation.

This is yet another attempt to silence the voice of those who disagree with their politics, and these are the actions of a wannabe tyrant.

They’re still trying to shut us up. They’re still making sure the hunter’s story is the only one people hear. We have the power to fight back and not only protect our communities but preserve THE TRUTH. AND WE WILL.

The job market reality is hitting our community hard right now.

Here’s what this means for us: there are now fewer jobs available than people looking for work. This shift creates intense competition for every position, and we know our community often faces additional barriers in hiring processes.

Today we remember Emmett Till, whose brutal murder in 1955 exposed America's deep racial injustices. Despite clear evidence, his killers were acquitted by an all-white jury, which serves as a reminder of systemic failures that deny justice to Black communities. His story remains a call for change.

62 years ago, 250,000 people gathered for the March on Washington. Dr. King's dream changed history through action. The Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act…ALL came from people who refused to stay silent. That energy lives in us now. Every vote, every stand we take matters.

Shocked and devastated by the mass shooting in Minneapolis.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this unimaginably painful time. #EndGunViolence

At Political Update Brunch, we strategized winning 2025's narrative by combating voter cynicism & misinformation. Focus: making voters critical info consumers, exposing truth/facts, amplifying elected officials' voices directly!

The Supreme Court has made it easier for politicians to manipulate districts in their favor by ruling that partisan gerrymandering is legal. But here’s the truth: we should be choosing our representatives, not having politicians draw lines to choose us as their voters.
