Suggest one like the House rules require 60% to pass a bill like the Senate? Or that we pass a bill limiting S. Ct gov prez immunity? How many Republicans will vote for such?

Anyone troubled by the Hunter Biden pardon should support my Constitutional amendment to reform the pardon power—an effort I've led since 2017. It bans pardons for a POTUS's family, staff, or crimes committed for their benefit. In 7 years it's never had a Republican cosponsor. I hope that changes.

And this doesn’t include several very wealthy violent criminals, who have since being pardoned committed violent crimes. Jared Kushner was heavily involved in process. Wonder how many invested with him?

An American hero in a post traitorist country which was non apologetic and still denying its African American citizens their rights.

“You know I never really liked him”

That is Schumer and Biden’s announced priorities.

I’m grateful every day to serve the people of Memphis and TN-09 in Congress. Wishing everyone a #HappyThankgiving with friends, family & plenty of good food!

You’ve got a great team. That’ll go a long way this year and that’s not just the women’s team and you’ve got good Congress people too. Courtney and Rosa are two of my favorites and the rest of the delegation is also strong.

I believe what you saw was some weirdo who trolls me on Twitter and then I tried to take my identity and name on blue skies. The guys obviously got a problem. If you wanna follow me go to Congressman Cohen.

New to our work? Back in 2021, we launched a series of stories documenting the key ways that the ultrawealthy — billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel — avoid taxes. Here are 10 of their strategies 👇

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

Photo from today at Arlington Cemetery. The grave of President John F Kennedy, who was assassinated November 22, 1963 ,a day that will forever live in sorrow.

Today marks 61 years since the #JFKassassination & there are STILL documents being kept secret. Americans deserve the truth. Trump promised to release the remaining docs if elected—he should keep that promise, but I'm continuing to work my JFK Records Act bill to force their release if he doesn't.

Congressman Cohen Continues to Seek Remaining JFK Assassination Records

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a student of American history convinced that the remaining records connected to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy should be unsealed as a demo...

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialNov 22(source)

I noted on The Last Word that today marks 61 years since the #JFKAssassination. I remember where I was when we lost him, and the pain of that day still resonates. JFK's vision and leadership continue to inspire, and we should honor his legacy and renew our commitment to the ideals he championed.

Nothing has changed about the need to release the #MattGaetz ethics report. Members of Congress should still never be able to dodge accountability by resigning, and the American public & Members of Congress need know exactly who Gaetz is in case Trump tries to appoint him elsewhere.
