Today, Ales Bialiatski celebrates his 63rd birthday in a Belarusian prison. He is serving a 10-year sentence on politically motivated charges for his work on human rights. Belarus must release him immediately & unconditionally.
@repcohen.bsky.social is his #DefendingFreedoms advocate.

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!

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Allow Removal of Fed Governor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u... You know there’s a problem in the relationship with the Supreme Court and Trump‘s lawyers when they sign their pleading, “who’s your daddy?”

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.
LIVE NOW: I'm introducing the Billionaire Income Tax Act with
@wyden.senate.gov & @beyer.house.gov.
When CEOs make 600x what workers earn and billionaires find ways to game the system and go untaxed, something has to change. It’s time for fairness.

@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.
“When Love Comes To Town” on BB Kings birthday- today! Memphis is not a trouble town. It’s a town of music and barbecue and great people and great basketball and lots of histories civil rights and all.
In honor of B.B. King's[RIP]🎸 birthday, Sun Studios, and Memphis...

Trump was just asked about Pope Leo’s statement regarding income inequality and Trump said he was a “popularist“ ( ?) Wtf is a popularist
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.
More good schools and access to education. More career and job training opportunities. More police officers who live and are invested in Memphis.
That's what's going to help lower crime in the long run. Not the National Guard.
