Rep. Justin J. Pearson

Hegseth needs to be held accountable, and there must be a full investigation into these actions by the House and the Senate.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign now. It’s a horrible irony that he and the Trump administration said they are in our city to end crime in Memphis, while they are simultaneously committing war crimes in international waters.

Brodie, please know that your sons are loved and taken care of. You are so dearly missed. As you always said, Good Morning, and I love you! 💙🕊️ Rest in Power Brodie 🪽🕊️

I truly believe God is keeping us through this grief and heartache. If you or anyone you love is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please call 988. Please share that number with anyone you love today.

or when he stood beside me when I was first sworn into office. Life is harder without him physically here, and I miss him daily. Life is different now but I’m doing my best to share the love he had in his heart with my Nephew-Sons, family, and our community.

Every day is a challenge without my Brodie—he never missed an event or occasion. He was always there. I know he would’ve been with me every step of the way for our congressional race too, just like he was when we did debate together in high school

This has been the most difficult year of my life with some momentous moments I know Tim would’ve loved, like our Dr. Mommy’s doctoral graduation and Oceana’s and my wedding in July.

I can’t believe it has been a year since my middle brother, my protector, my one year and four-month older twin, passed away from this life to life eternal. I really don’t have the right words to express it.

The same families struggling today are about to see an increase in medical debt and agony due to the heartlessness of the Republican Party. Elections matter which is why one of my core pillars in this campaign is Healthcare for Everybody! #ItsAboutUs

People will not have insurance and pray not to need a doctor. Emergency rooms will be primary care.

I would not support ending trump’s shutdown until health care premium extensions were a guarantee! How are families who are paying $400 today for health insurance going to pay $1600 at the start of the year? Rural hospitals will close.

Millions of people have not had money for food through SNAP and he and the Republicans actually sued to stop having to pay SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans. This heartless and evil administration and radical Republican Party is dangerous.

8 Democrats in the Senate are ending Trump’s and the Republican’s shutdown. I can’t support their decision. trump partied, golfed, watched NFL football games, and vacationed at his resort in Mar a Lago while millions suffer.

We are FIRED UP!!! 🔥🔥🔥 We had an amazing volunteer turnout for our first Canvass for Congress! Thank you so much to our supporters, family, and new friends who came out with us this morning. So many of our volunteers canvassed for the first time today! My heart is so full, thank you!

We will never let anyone diminish the power of our voices and solidarity through marching and protests! We will march on! ✊🏾💙✊🏾

Staying at home when you could be out organizing is easy. Coming outside, in the heat and cold, to resist and show that we will persist is an important part of the work we’re building and doing together.

I am a proud Memphian and I am proud of our City’s history. Part of our spirit is making democracy mean something which includes protecting our right to protest, especially at a time where the federal government and our state government has made efforts to infringe on our right to assembly.

The US Flag, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution don't just belong to the right, they belong to ALL OF US!

Conservative justices seem poised to weaken Voting Rights Act Several of the court’s conservatives appeared hostile to the traditional understanding of the civil rights law.

This is absurd! The court is once again on the verge of overturning precedent and rolling back our constitutional rights.

Justin J. Pearson, Tennessee state representative & U.S. House candidate, moves WCPT's Michelle Peltier to tears:

"We got to love this place because we built this place. Our ancestors built the White House & built the Capitol. We can't give up on this."

⚡️ UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Rep. Justin J. Pearson & Rep. Gabby Salinas send letter putting Gov. Bill Lee on notice that his deployment of the National Guard to Memphis violates the TN Constitution.

Lawmakers ask Governor for community investments to eradicate poverty instead of military occupation.

Please read this article just published by @EENEWSUPDATE about Elon Musk's application to the EPA to locate up to 90 ADDITIONAL gas turbines at a second site near South Memphis.

As EPA mulls air permit decision, Zeldin met with xAI XAI has been under fire from Memphis community groups over its use of 35 methane turbines without Clean Air Act permits or pollution controls to power its

We need to stop Al's 35 gas turbines from polluting our air AND we must stop their plans to have 45 or more gas turbines in our community!

www.eenews.net/articles/as-...

300+ Memphians showed up to demand that the Shelby County Health Department DENY xAI’s gas turbine permit. We must protect our air from toxic chemicals and pollution!

The 15 turbines were already emitting 9.79 tons of formaldehyde a year, and now these 35 gas turbines can release up to 16.7 tons.

Memphis, Elon Musk's xAI company violated the public’s trust and lied about the Colossus facility that is poisoning our air with gas turbines. xAI submitted a permit for 15 gas turbines, but have been secretly operating 35!

Thank you to everyone who has sent me a thoughtful and encouraging message! Love y’all!! ✊🏾💙
