Congrats to Adrian Maclin on being named 2025 Grammy Music Educator of the Year! I’ve known him for 20 years—he’s a wonderful Memphian, a dedicated teacher at Cordova High, and choir director at Mount Moriah Baptist East. He’s truly deserving of this honor! www.commercialappeal.com/story/entert...

FYI

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

What happened at DCA was horrific. Politicians from the president on down need to be focused on the victims and the rescue personnel . No one should shoot from the hip about causes as the Transportation Safety Board conducts its fact based review.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

Last night’s crash at DCA was a terrible tragedy. My deepest sympathies for all of the victims, and for their families and friends. Thank you to all first responders and public servants for their brave and heroic actions. This was an extremely difficult duty.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

I'm closely monitoring tonight's tragic accident at DCA & in contact with the FAA & NTSB. As we await more information, my thoughts are with everyone involved and the first responders working at the scene. Full statement w/ Reps.

Questioning the efficacy of something like the polio vaccine should be automatically disqualifying for someone being considered to lead the agency responsible for safeguarding America’s public health. The facts are clear: vaccines work and RFK Jr. has no business running HHS.

Trump’s illegal funding freeze is straight out of Project 2025: slashing housing, health care, even cancer research while jacking up costs for working people. It’s unconstitutional and it’s all for the billionaire class. We need to use every legislative option at our disposal to fight this madness.

RFK Jr. has spent years attacking vaccines and spreading deadly misinformation. Look at what he did in Samoa. Now he wants us to trust him to lead HHS? His appointment would seriously endanger children and public health. The Senate must reject him—it’s too big of a job for someone this reckless.

They're halting funds for almost everything that helps everyday people and families while promising big tax breaks for the wealthiest people in this country. Trump's presidency is a hostile takeover by billionaires and the wealthy. It's the blueprint of Project 2025 and it's scary as hell.

I’m not so sure. Hook,line and sinker believer.
