This is why I voted against the GOP’s Big "Ugly” Bill — and why Democrats won’t support a CR that locks in these health care cuts. Memphis is being hurt by this legislation as much if not more than any other district in America.
Trump forced out a respected Republican US Attorney who wouldn't charge James Comey, and replaced him with a real estate lawyer with no criminal law experience—but who knew how to say, "Yes sir, Mr. Trump." This isn't about justice. It's about Trump using the DOJ to settle scores & silence critics.
NEWS: Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by a grand jury, just days after Trump demanded the DOJ prosecute him “now” and fired the prosecutor who refused to bring the case

Pope Leo warned when wealth is prized above values, society is in trouble. He’s right. Musk chasing a trillion—and a President cashing in on crypto—prove how warped it’s become. Billionaires don’t pay a fair share in taxes. That’s why @wyden.senate.gov & I introduced the Billionaire Income Tax Act.

Trump and his FCC chairman Carr are trying to control the media and abridge free speech. Their authoritarian actions must stop. CBS and ABC have capitulated. Let’s hope NBC stands up! Trump has asked them to fire Seth Myers and Jimmy Fallon. Please don’t!

Air travel is too vital to be held hostage to shutdown politics. The Aviation Funding Stability Act I introduced today keeps the FAA running even in a shutdown — so planes stay in the air, inspections continue, and workers get paid. Shutdowns can't be allowed to ground safety or America's economy.

The FBI, DEA, and ATF are trained in law enforcement. They know Miranda rights, they know policing, and they CAN help cities lower crime. But the National Guard isn’t trained for that, as even Kash Patel knows. Memphis needs real law enforcement partnership — not political stunts.

@repcohen.bsky.social [Rep. Cohen] explained that FBI joining forces with local police to reduce crime has had success, but the addition of National Guard troops is questionable. Cohen encouraged FBI Patel to speak w/Epstein victims[no statute of limitations]. And that Memphis has great history.
Calling in the Guard isn’t even about trying to help people in Memphis, where crime is already down significantly over 2 years. It’s about a show of force. Trump turned the DOD into the “Department of War” and he wants to use it—by sending troops into blue cities like they’re battlefields.
