We appreciate @RepFields taking the time to meet with our advocates!
Thank you for listening as we shared the importance of cosponsoring the NEST Act, protecting maternal and child health funding, and supporting the Healthy Moms and Babies Act. #InvestInKids

Reporter: More than 45,000 ballots have been returned in Louisiana. What happens to those?
GOP Gov. Jeff Landry: Oh, those ballots are discarded.
Reporter: You say that like it’s not a big deal.
Landry: Well, it’s not a big deal. It’s not my fault

On Sunday’s episode of “60 Minutes,” @RepFields made a shocking, but not unsurprising statement about progress and representation in the South: “There are people who ... just will not vote for a Black person for anything.”

Democratic Congressman Cleo Fields says it’s “highly unlikely” he’ll win reelection if Louisiana’s congressional lines are redrawn.
His district is at the center of a Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana v. Callais that found lawmakers improperly relied on race when drawing the map of his majority minority district. cbsn.ws/4eJIrS1

"There's not a single African American ever elected to congress from Louisiana, from a majority white district, period. You know, people, unfortunately, vote on racial lines. I mean, and the courts in the past have recognized that."

“I’ve never served a day in Congress without a lawsuit in the Supreme Court,” Cleo Fields, who represents the district Callais rules unconstitutional.
“If you tell me that I gotta jump a certain height, I could probably do that. Tell me I gotta run a certain distance, I could probably do that too,” Fields adds. “But if you tell me I have to be white to serve in Congress from Louisiana, I can’t do nothing about that. I need some help from my government.”

This morning, the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s second majority Black congressional district, a district represented by Rep. Cleo Fields. He called this "a grave setback to voting rights and to the promise of equal political representation for all Americans." wbrz.com/news/supreme-court-…

Do students in La need a better understanding of how the federal government works? @RepFields think so, he's visiting schools as part of his Congress to the Classroom program. #TWILP I also ask about his congressional seat being challenged @ SCOTUS. @LAFirstNews

Inflation is up, job creation is down and the Republican economy is a complete disaster.

Today #SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a case that could topple what remains of the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. At question is whether one-third of our state’s population — Black Louisianians — will continue to have an opportunity to elect representatives of their choice, or if decades of hard-won progress will disappear under the guise of “colorblind” politics.

Fires. Floods. Hurricanes. Disasters do not wait. Twenty years after Katrina, nearly 200 FEMA employees are warning that Trump and Kristi Noem’s cuts are crippling our ability to respond. I joined @RepFields in signing their letter because gutting FEMA puts lives across America in danger.

Committee Republicans are holding a hearing to continue Trump’s attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after recently voting to cut 70% of the CFPB’s budget. Well, Committee Democrats have questions for members stripping protections away from their constituents. 🧵

Manufacturers strongly support the Protecting Private Job Creators Act, which would ensure that private manufacturers have the regulatory certainty necessary to support the long-term investments that drive economic growth. @RepTroyDowning @RepFields

Federal funding for Head Start is so important to young children in every district in the nation.
Thank you to many Democratic lawmakers who signed onto the Head Start ‘Dear Colleague’ letter to speak up for this much-needed program!
Check out the thread below to see all of the lawmakers who joined @RepJahanaHayes’s letter to show their support 🧵
