What a disgrace. The Trump Admin. sided with Putin at the UN yesterday—a dictator, an animal who murders innocents and steals children. He doesn't deserve an ounce of American support. And who has Trump aligned us with? Russia, North Korea, Iran, Belarus... the worst of the worst. Embarrassing.

Why would Elon Musk name his shady political company “United States of America Inc.”? Seems like a dead giveaway for his vision: He thinks he is buying the government and will own our country. Where does that leave the rest of us? We're digging deeper on this. What the hell is he up to?

Thanks to the 7800+ who joined my town hall tonight. We had important discussions on the chaos under Trump—threats to Social Security & Medicare, the confusion he’s caused for federal workers & more—and on the work being done to fight back. I’ll never give up, and I’ll always speak truth to power.

Today, the bipartisan leadership of the U.S. Helsinki Commission Senator Roger Wicker, Representative Joe Wilson, @whitehouse.senate.gov & @repcohen.bsky.social issued the following statement marking the solemn anniversary of Russia’s unprovoked, criminal invasion of Ukraine:

This vote is a disgrace. Trump’s senseless betrayal of the alliances that have kept Americans safe since World War II and his fealty to the murderous aggressor Putin are a national security threat.

For three years a great president courageously leading his country against the invasion by Russia. A president of courage and principal renowned around the world for his dedication to democracy.

U.S. Clashes With European Allies at the U.N. Over Ukraine

The United States voted against a resolution, backed by most of Europe, demanding Russian withdrawal from Ukraine — a deep fissure between allies, and a sharp shift in American policy.

23-year-old money grubbers who work for the South African chainsaw swinger and have never served this country should not be deciding which veteran and which Veterans program gets cut.

Among the ways being discussed to force faster delivery of two presidential planes are relaxing security clearances for Boeing workers and even purchasing a temporary luxury plane and retrofitting it.

Kash Patel is likely the most unqualified person ever confirmed to lead the FBI. The agency was built to go after the bad guys—Chicago bootleggers, gangsters, the mafia, and foreign threats. Under Patel, it’ll be turned into a weapon for revenge to go after Trump’s enemies instead. A total disgrace.

The chicken was interesting in how Dems and MAGA think so differently .Most Democrats got it & liked it. Maga thinks it’s a way to ridicule me over the years and often send a picture of me eating chicken or of KFC when they are on the attack. They don’t get humor but they do get muted or blocked!

Join me on MONDAY at 6:30pm CT to discuss Trump’s executive actions, their impact on Memphis & TN-9, and how we're pushing back. I’ll also be joined by a legal expert from @democracyforward.org to discuss details on efforts to challenge Trump's actions in court. Sign up here: cohen.house.gov/live

Didn’t mention Carter’s other accomplishments that Trump is attempting to eliminate :creation of the department of energy, FEMA,and Panama Canal Treaty
