    11 of my 15 staff members are smart, capable women who work on important issues like health care, education, trade, housing, foreign relations, the environment and more. When women have a seat at the table to shape our policies, we achieve a stronger democracy.

    Passing H.R. 1 is a reflection of those basic values and should not be a partisan issue. This bill isn’t perfect, but the good far outweighs the bad.

    Big money in politics, voter suppression, and gerrymandering have put our country at risk. Our job is to protect our democracy and secure our elections. We do that by ensuring that all eligible voters have the opportunity to voice their opinions.

    It’s official. Cumberland River Hospital is the latest hospital to close due to Tennessee not expanding Medicaid – the most per capita of any state in the country. This isn’t a ranking we should be proud of. The effects are setting in.

    I encourage you to visit the Civil Rights Room at the downtown or take a Civil Rights walking tour to draw inspiration for working toward a more just and civil society.

    The lunch counter sit-ins and Freedom Rides, led by students who would later become iconic leaders in the movement, were pivotal moments that ultimately led to desegregation of all public facilities in Nashville and inspired protests across the South.

    Ninety percent of Americans support expanded background checks for gun purchases. Criminals, domestic abusers, and the mentally ill should not be permitted to legally obtain guns. Now it’s up the Senate to do the right thing.

    Rep. Jim Cooper: "Have you ever seen Mr. Trump personally threaten people with physical harm?" Michael Cohen: "No, he would use others." Cooper: "He would hire other people to do that?" Cohen: "I'm not so sure that he had to hire them, they were already working there."

    While Senate passage is also likely, Trump is certain to veto the measure. Not enough Republicans are willing to do the right thing and stand up to Trump, so a veto override will likely fail. It will probably be up to the courts to keep his power in check.

    I'm glad that the House stepped up to defend the Constitution and stop President Trump's unprecedented overreach by voting to block his national emergency declaration.
