Putin game set match.He won’t budge from subjugating Ukraine and contending that Zelensky is a Nazi.No return of Ukrainian children,no cease fire, no limits on killing civilians, We need to impose additional sanctions and provide weapons for Ukraine defense. Otherwise blood is on Trumps’ hands.

@repcohen.bsky.social is literally the only elected rep at the Federal level in Tennessee who does town halls open to all. We appreciate it, and him (even though none of us here can vote for him, or anybody decent. Nashville was cracked into 3 MAGA districts in 2022.)

Today, Belarus opposition leader Mikalai Statkevich turned 69 years old. Imprisoned in 2020 & serving a 14-year sentence, he has not been seen or heard from for over 800 days. He must be released immediately & without conditions. @repcohen.bsky.social is his #DefendingFreedoms advocate.

@repcohen.bsky.social Thx for the town hall yesterday and for taking my question about possible vote manipulation. The org. is electiontruthalliance.org, and they have explainer videos on youtube. If this did happen, we need to make sure it doesn't happen again. I count on your help to publicize!

The CBO confirms what we’ve been saying: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history. The poorest 10% lose the most. The richest 10%—the Mar-a-Lago class—cash in. Everyone else gets crumbs. And this is BEFORE tariffs hit.

Trump, who never walks around DC, is sending unspecified number of federal agents to the capital, complaining that crime is “out of control,” even though crime rates in the city have fallen significantly. This demented old man equates power w violence www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Funny how the Epstein tapes vanished right after Bill Barr's DOJ raided his townhouse. The cameras were real. The footage existed. So where is it, and who was on it? That's the smoking gun. I've been the only one in Congress consistently demanding the truth for 8 years. The people deserve it.

The FAA’s old evacuation standards were a joke. The studies had no seniors, no kids, no wheelchairs & no service animals. I wrote the EVAC Act to fix that. Now it's the law. It’s time for the FAA to disavow these bogus studies and implement the EVAC Act with real-world testing. Lives depend on it.

People in Gaza are being shot, trampled, and starved while waiting in line for food—at U.S.-funded sites run by Trump allies and Netanyahu loyalists. I joined 90+ colleagues demanding answers. This can’t be allowed to continue. Not with our money, and not in our name.

60 years of Medicare & Medicaid. 60 years of saving lives. Now's Trump's GOP is gutting them to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and well-connected. It's the most anti-poor, anti-senior agenda in history. We have to keep fighting this with everything we've got—to and through November '26.

Trump’s HUD is killing a major discrimination case in Memphis—AFTER finding civil rights violations. No administration has been more hostile to the poor in US history. We used to have leaders who fought for the little guy, especially those long denied justice. Trump fights to keep them down.
