Policy Soup stir the pot ALPHA

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Wyeth Chandler was a good Mayor and an outstanding Judge. He was Mayor when I got my first government position as assistant police legal advisor and later as police legal advisor. I called on him for advice for law while a state senator.

Trump had the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace forcibly removed from his office earlier this year. A federal court ruled that his dismantling of the USIP was a "gross usurpation of power"—the case is still in court. Now he's slapping his name and his own toxic brand on the building anyway.

Memphis households already spend more of their income on power bills than almost anywhere in the country. My Clean Cloud Act would keep data centers and crypto miners from pushing those bills even higher. More here in the Memphis Flyer: www.memphisflyer.com/clean-cloud-...

Clean Cloud Act Could Bring Emission Standards to Data Centers, Crypto Miners

Data centers could account for 12 percent of all U.S. energy use by 2028.

Today I reintroduced the bipartisan TVA IRP Act to strengthen how TVA plans for the Valley’s future energy needs. It expands public participation, increases transparency, and brings independent expertise into the IRP — helping ensure reliable, lowest-cost power for families in Memphis & TN-9.

Love seeing Memphis featured in the New York Times “36 Hours” guide. Great food, great music, great people — it’s all here. Read what the Times had to say, or better yet come visit and see for yourself why we think Memphis is great!

Congressman Cohen Seeks Flags to be Lowered to Half Staff for U.S Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom

Deeply saddened by the murder of US Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old member of the WV National Guard serving in DC on a mission authorized by President Trump. No Guardsman should be put in danger on a deployment like this—I asked the President to lower flags to half-staff in her honor.

Saddened at her death. She served her state and nation and wanted to serve country as an agent. So sad. As she was serving her country through President Trump’s call up of the National Guard and shot so close to the White House. I hope the president will lower the flags to half staff in her memory
