Trump, who never walks around DC, is sending unspecified number of federal agents to the capital, complaining that crime is “out of control,” even though crime rates in the city have fallen significantly. This demented old man equates power w violence www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Funny how the Epstein tapes vanished right after Bill Barr's DOJ raided his townhouse. The cameras were real. The footage existed. So where is it, and who was on it? That's the smoking gun. I've been the only one in Congress consistently demanding the truth for 8 years. The people deserve it.

The FAA’s old evacuation standards were a joke. The studies had no seniors, no kids, no wheelchairs & no service animals. I wrote the EVAC Act to fix that. Now it's the law. It’s time for the FAA to disavow these bogus studies and implement the EVAC Act with real-world testing. Lives depend on it.

People in Gaza are being shot, trampled, and starved while waiting in line for food—at U.S.-funded sites run by Trump allies and Netanyahu loyalists. I joined 90+ colleagues demanding answers. This can’t be allowed to continue. Not with our money, and not in our name.

60 years of Medicare & Medicaid. 60 years of saving lives. Now's Trump's GOP is gutting them to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and well-connected. It's the most anti-poor, anti-senior agenda in history. We have to keep fighting this with everything we've got—to and through November '26.

Trump’s HUD is killing a major discrimination case in Memphis—AFTER finding civil rights violations. No administration has been more hostile to the poor in US history. We used to have leaders who fought for the little guy, especially those long denied justice. Trump fights to keep them down.

When Trump fired inspectors general, he wasn't draining the swamp—he was filling it with loyalists. I introduced the Independent Acting IG Act to stop Trump or anyone else from replacing IGs with political lackeys. We need to protect the watchdogs & the public from cronyism, cover-ups & corruption.

@repcohen.bsky.social July 28, 2020 Bill Barr hearing: “Maybe your secret police were poorly trained— just like your bureau of prisons guards were poorly trained and allowed the most notorious inmate in our nation's last several years — Jeffrey Epstein to conveniently commit suicide. SAD!

This GOP-led Congress has earned an F—for failure, fraud, and forgetting the American people. They slashed health care, gutted food aid, taken away decades of clean energy progress that hurts us AND the planet... and then skipped town to avoid voting to release the Epstein files. It's a failure.

July 24, 2024 Congressman @repcohen.bsky.social pressed FBI Director Chris Wray for answers about the Epstein case. Congressman Cohen also asked Attorney General Barr about Epstein at a July 28, 2020 oversight hearing. Remember, both Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell were arrested by Trump in 2019/2020

Congressman @repcohen.bsky.social FBI Search of Epstein’s Townhouse Asked FBI Director Wray about it at a July 24, 2024 hearing “Bill Barr ordered the raid on Epstein’s townhouse. It always seemed to me like there were reasons for that search—and items seized—that were never made public.”

Press Release
Asked FBI Director Wray about it at a July 24, 2024 hearing
WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, today said he continues to wonder what was uncovered during the execution of a search warrant at disgraced pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein's townhouse ordered by Trump Attorney General Bill Barr.
Congressman Cohen asked FBI Director Christopher Wray about the searches at a July 24, 2024, oversight hearing. See that line of questions in this release.
On the social media platform Bluesky, Congressman made this recent post:
"Bill Barr ordered the raid on Epstein's townhouse. It always seemed to me like there were reasons for that search-and items seized—that were never made public. While others ducked, I asked former FBI Director Wray for the truth. The American people deserve it, I'm going to keep pressing for it."
Congressman Cohen asked Attorney General Barr about Epstein at a July 28, 2020 oversight hearing.
The FBI searched Epstein's Upper East Side townhouse on July 6-7, 2019.

The House GOP just shut down Congress until September to block a vote on releasing the Epstein files. As I've said, Trump's DOJ raided Epstein’s townhouse for a reason. Trump’s name appears 9 times in the public docs—he knows disaster awaits in the sealed files. The people deserve the truth.

Airline fees have gotten out of hand from seat selection to carry-ons. This article says it plainly, and it’s why I’m planning to reintroduce the Fair Fees Act. Passengers deserve transparency and a fair deal when they fly. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I'm taking a stand against jacked-up airline fees by taking the middle seat | Opinion

Seat selection fees? Airlines have gone too far by charging people more to sit in window or aisle seats. It's time to stop airline price gouging.

All 15 of my Community Project Funding requests for FY26 were approved by the House Appropriations Committee—over $18M for housing, public safety, non-profits like our local Boys & Girls Club, and more across Memphis & TN-9.

After turning Grok into 4chan, Musk is getting a $200M AI contract from the Pentagon. I'm an Intel Committee member. We face many real threats on many fronts. This isn't the kind of “intelligence" we should be relying on to protect our national security—or subsidizing with taxpayer dollars.
