Freedom is worth celebrating, protecting, and fighting for. I was proud to introduce and pass the first Congressional apology for slavery and Jim Crow discrimination in 2008. While today we remember our history and the promise we’ve made, we must also heed the call to continue the work.

SCOTUS traditionally waits until late June of its term to release opinions in major cases like the 3 today. Justice Roberts could have waited to release the Louisiana v. Callais ruling now but decided to release it in April to dilute Black voter representation in districts like mine.

See my letter urging Governor Lee to reverse a directive for the Tennessee Department of Health to report immigrant parents and their children who are on the Department’s CSS Program beyond June 30 to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation. cohen.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Obama presidential center opening contrasted with Trumps'80th birthday ! Class and skilled talented artists v. Trash and vulgarity. I am confident that this second term of the bankruptcy filing casino owner, and Jeffrey Epstein confidant will end with a return to a president with skill and values.

Don't worry about it. Trump and the Tn. Guv & legislative lackeys jerrymamndered me and I'm out. so I freely block idiots who say things that are false,foolish or crude. I will greatly miss being a Congressman for Memphis and for peace and for human rights and respect for people in need.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.social5d ago(source)

Today they released opinions, which is when they normally do and then the blockbusters generally come on the last day. But the black Buster JERRYMANDERINNG opinion came early. EARLY ENOUGH TO AFFECT TENNESSEE, LOUISIANA, AND ALABAMA. THE SUPREME COURT IS POLITICAL AND AN ARM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

No judge, even the Supreme Court Chief Justice, gets a lifetime pass to break the law. Tell Congress to back @repcohen.bsky.social's SIX articles of impeachment!

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.social5d ago(source)

He isn't a Mathew Christian. He puts HIS Christianity on his forehead but it's not in his heart or soul. He's all about the rich and all about himself trying to get a job with Trump.

No Andy I've been swinging for my constituents for over 40 years. I filed the first complete articles of impeachment seven or eight articles & 17 co sponsors, including John Lewis . I sponsored and had hearings on reparations, equal rights, and choice. I boycotted Trump inauguration and Netanyahu.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJun 14(source)

I filed the first complete impeachment resolution against Trump in his first term I think 17 sponsors, including John Lewis and seven or eight different articles. It is a member of judicial committee. I voted to impeach in four times twice in committee and twice on the floor, so I'm good w history

John Roberts made corporations people and gave them power to make contributions. He gave the rich power to make more and more contributions and run the political system. He gave Trump immunity from crimes he committed as president total immunity. John Roberts is responsible for the autocracy!Impeach

This week in committee I argued the reasons why Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached after additional evidence came forward with the Alabama case. I filed six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice Roberts on May 21st.

Allegedly the name is off but a white tarp is covering it like a shroud. Trump is a coward on top of being a grifter & liar. The most immoral and corrupt President in our 250 years. I hope one of the martial arts/ wrestlers who will be despoiling our White House lands their stinky body in his lap.

Well, he lied to us again, but what do you expect the greatest liar in the history of USA? He said he didn’t care about the Kennedy Center and didn’t need his name on it, but his lackeys filed appeal with the district court and asked for TRO,then appealed to the Court of AppealS.All required 47 ok

It's obvious that this president is so egotistically driven that all he does is feed his ego & create a false legacy. From the Kennedy center to the arch, the ballroom, the golf course to the statuary national Park. Those aren't his job but food and energy and home and healthcare are. Work or quit!

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJun 12(source)

Well done Congressman

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJun 12(source)

Trump obscene addition of his name to the Kennedy Center is coming down very shortly. You can watch it live on channel 4 Washington . It's not the 250th anniversary of America is the 243 1/2.The 6 1/2 years of him have not been America. It's been fascism patterned after Mussolini.hit the road Jack!

Now that he’s a trillionaire, maybe he can live up to his word and build the 80+ million dollar Gray water plant. He promised Memphis to get his Colossus in our community. live up to your word Elon. A good name could not be purchased on the stock exchange with an IPO .it must be earned.#Memphis #901
