One year ago today, Azerbaijani authorities wrongfully arrested Farid Mehralizada, a passionate journalist who works for the congressionally funded @rferl.org.web.brid.gy. He should be allowed to continue his important work providing audiences unbiased, independent information. He must be released.

Proud to deliver $1M in Community Project Funding to enable Le Bonheur Children's Hospital to add 2 new pediatric ambulances—bringing hospital-level care directly to kids across Memphis and the Mid-South. Another example of how the federal project funding we've secured is improving lives in TN-9.

“This administration does not have a credible history of telling the truth about anything. And so, when they estimate $45 million, you know that’s a low-ball figure,” said @repcohen.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/05/29/t...

Expect Trump’s Military Parade to Cost More Than the Army Says

The Army says Trump’s June 14 military parade will cost up to $45 million. This is likely an underestimate due to unaccounted expenses.

WATCH: “Republicans don’t care about the debt, they care about giving money to their rich friends.” @repcohen.bsky.social says #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer again exposes the hypocrisy of Republicans like Marsha Blackburn pretending to care about the debt.

Just Roberts gave him the gift of being immune from civil or criminal liability. Actions were in official duties. Pardons are in his official duties. He can sell them and he can’t be held in any jurisdiction for any crime.

The New York Times just reported that Trump pardoned a rich tax cheat after his mother attended a $1 million Trump fundraiser. The pardon application explicitly mentioned his mother’s donations to Trump. They’re not even trying to hide the corruption anymore.

They defrauded banks, stiffed their creditors, defrauded the IRS, filed bankruptcy. These are all things Trump could relate to.

I was honored to serve with Charlie Rangel for 10 years. A gentleman and a legislative giant, honored by Memphis with the I AM A MAN award, we stood together on healthcare, drug reform, Cuba & more. I was always proud to vote alongside him & the CBC. He was one of the greats. May he rest in peace.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives defending our country. When Members of Congress travel abroad, we often visit U.S. military cemeteries—like Normandy, where D-Day began. Standing among those graves is a powerful reminder of their sacrifice.
