Trump’s message to hardworking people and families: airlines can disrupt your flight, damage your property, and you still owe full price. Don’t expect this administration or the GOP to lift a finger for you as a consumer. Their loyalty is to billionaire donors and giant multinational corporations.

The same Supreme Court that just acted overnight to unleash ICE raids that break apart families and brutalize people in LA, couldn't find the time in 2024 to fast-track Jack Smith's case against a sitting president for trying to overthrow our government. Their priorities tell you everything.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court lifts restrictions on Los Angeles immigration stops, clearing the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations.

Trump’s Commerce Dept. just cut off funding for the TN Minority Business Development Center, forcing it to close after 13 years of helping small, local businesses. I helped open the MBDC in 2012 to give Black and minority entrepreneurs in Memphis a voice. Trump and the GOP just silenced that voice.

Congressman Cohen Expresses Disappointment at Closure of the Minority Business Development Center

MEMPHIS – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) released the following statement after learning that the Trump Commerce Department cut funding to the Minority Business Development Center, causing it to shut ...

I helped write and pass bipartisan reforms to protect passengers: refunds, family seating, wheelchair rights, and real compensation for delayed flights. That's what people and families deserve when they don't get what they pay for. Trump is ripping them up to pad airline profits—at your expense.

No cash for flight delays as Trump administration scraps Biden-era rule

The Biden Administration had considered requiring airlines to pay travelers upwards of $200 for lengthy flight delays, but that plan has been dropped.

🚨BREAKING: Thanks to the Trump admin, you’ll once again have the pleasure of handing over MORE of your money to giant airlines for the privilege of being nickel-and-dimed, delayed, and treated like baggage. Corporate America first, as always.

Vaccines save lives. They save quality of life, too. I had polio as a child, and I've lived with post-polio because I never had access to the vaccine. RFK Jr. has used his office to sow doubt & restrict vaccines, putting kids at risk. On behalf of all polio victims, I'm calling on him to resign.

The GOP are holding hearings on free speech in the UK, while Trump is busy suing news outlets, law firms and colleges, bullying students, whitewashing the Smithsonian & African American History museums, and using the government as a hammer against dissent. That's how autocracy starts—it's here.

I signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files—as EVERY member of Congress should. If your Rep. hasn't signed, you need to ask why! Powerful men buried the truth to shield predators. The American people deserve answers, victims deserve justice, and this cover-up must end.

INBOX — STATEMENT from @repcohen.bsky.social (D), who opposes Trump sending the National Guard to MEMPHIS, which Sen. @MarshaBlackburn (R) supports: “There are both legal and practical reasons for me to oppose this.”

Trump now wants to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda. Why? For daring to stand up to an illegal detention in El Salvador. That’s the reason. Uganda has nothing to do with this case, but that's the response he gets from a cruel, vengeful administration. What has America become?

The GOP showered billionaires with tax cuts. To try and offset the cost they slashed Medicaid, SNAP, health care, energy assistance and more—and STILL blew up the deficit by $4 trillion. The bill for Tennessee? 310k lose health care, 374k lose food aid, 21k jobs lost, and higher costs for everyone.

And he goes on about a Lit of conflict. He claims to have resolved which have nothing to do with this, but his campaign for a peace prize, and says that all the wars have ended except this one. How about Israel and Hamas? Can Donnie get together with BB and get that resolved?
