Agitators tried to disrupt genuine conversations with voters on Monday. Tom Barrett refuses to face voters and has sold us out to Big Tech. My career and campaign are built on standing up to corporate power. It’s what I did in 2013 and what I'll do in Congress.

SuperPACs have now spent $3,724,838 trying to defeat me in this primary, mostly on attack ads. This is what people hate about politics today. Voters want dialogue and debate, not mudslinging and smears. We need to get big money out of our politics.

We're out with our final ad: "Home" When a Wall Street firm tried to evict our neighbors, I helped them fight back. This is their story.  I've spent my career taking on corporate power and fighting for Michiganders. I'm running for Congress to take that fight to DC.

We raised more from Michigan donors than any candidate in #MI07 this quarter. And more from inside the district than both opponents combined in Q1.  We continue to have the most local support from current and former electeds and a volunteer base unmatched by our opponents. WE WILL WIN!

Just so we’re clear: The Supreme Court claims anti-Black racism is over in order to allow racist state legislators to engineer the largest removal of Black Congresspersons in history. The Supreme Court is returning the United States to Jim Crow by claiming Jim Crow won’t return.

In its latest ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Roberts Court has inverted the Reconstruction Amendments to justify the same racist devices and practices they were adopted to dismantle (🎁) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
What Kilpatrick wanted, and what the Roberts Court is making possible, is a country where white people can maintain their political dominance at the expense of Americans who are not white. The anticaste provisions of the Reconstruction amendments, intended by their authors to reverse the “horrid blasphemy” that America was a white man’s country, are being inverted to defend that dominance. This is not the color-blindness of Martin Luther King Jr., but what the scholar Ian Haney López has called “reactionary colorblindness,” the purpose of which is to maintain racial hierarchy through superficially neutral means. It takes the view that the Constitution’s “color-blindness” renders any attempt to remedy anti-Black racism unconstitutional, because by definition that would involve making racial distinctions. Similarly, the ruling in this case does not explicitly overturn the VRA’s ban on racial discrimination in voting so much as rewrite it to allow such discrimination.

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.
