And my support for Israel was far from staunch. Basically, I supported the JStreet positions and was their poster child when I endorsed them in 2009 or so. We did polls and they showed me winning and gaining strength.

That was not a public poll .That was a post by Justin. Justin told so many lies about me. I don’t trust anything he says anymore. Said I live in a mega mansion, that I never spoke at his rallies, that we were never friends, and then I spent my time trying to get support from lobbyists. All false.
I have never supported Netanyahu. Didn’t like him from the time I met him in 2007.
No, I have never defended Netanyahu and I think he’s gone way too far but he did have 1200 of his citizens murdered and another 200 or so takin hostage on October7. And Hamas was in it until the end, and most of its leaders came to their end.
But I was leading by a goodly margin and would’ve won despite the Israel issue being waived against me at the end. There wasn’t another issue which would’ve closed the gap which was rather large. I have good district I think my constituents for their support of the years.
Bravo and aloha you all
I was original sponsor of the Green new deal. And was leading Congress Person in the fight against the Keystone pipeline. So yes, I’ve been there on environmental issues and others
I doubt I’ll ever run again. I’m 77 and post polio has taken a toll on physical abilities. I’ll miss Congress.
No, that’s not why I left and that’s not what was in the article. I left because I just didn’t feel comfortable with some folks there and my votes were progressive and the bills I introduced were beyond the progressive caucus on some issues. It was a difficult decision but my votes is what counts
I put together when I was 30 years old the votes to build a public hospital with an emergency room par excelance.I supported and worked for the affordable care act and voted against and condemned all efforts to reduce the subsidies and kill the act.
Tn. Is solid republican. So no Medicaid expansion
Never have. Didn’t
My reference to antisemitism was not about Israel positions . It was about what I forsaw in my campaign, as I was in a contested primary that I would’ve won, but it would’ve been dirty and we forsaw things coming.
I have leveraged humanitarian aid against military supplies for Israel. The limit of words that you can put in a response didn’t allow me to express that.
I boycotted both of Netanyahu’s speeches to Congress. I’m no fan of his.He is hurting Israel. I was the first Member to join JStreet and endorse them. I’ve never received any money from Aipac. I’ve always been a very pro two state solution Congressman and I’ve encourage humanitarian aid to Gaza
You were right the way you used to think. I am one of the most progressive members in Tennessee’s history, and I’ve been one of the most progressive members of Congress.And represented a majority minority district for 20 years and not to lose a precinct in a reelect >18 years is pretty amazing.
Putting 2&2 together.I filed the first complete impeachment resolution against Trump in 2017.I call Trump out when he grifts,&violates the constitution ,and when he lies. And the 1st state where he obliterated a majority black district was mine. Connect the dots?He would have done to any Dem but….
Thank you
We have a president who is out of control and it scares me and it should scare you.
Tonight was a first play setting up his attempt to overthrow the '26 election!
Trump makes deals with himself. Talk about making a deal with the devil.

Wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin yesterday demanding answers about the policies, practices, and standards employed by the accelerated federalized law enforcement in American cities. See my full my full release and letter here: cohen.house.gov/media-center...

The policy of the Memphis Police Department is not to shoot at vehicles. I don't know the policy of homeland security is about vehicles probably zero.
ICE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY ARE OUT OF CONTROL. THEY HAD AN OVER HER HEAD SEC. IN NOEM AND NOW ANOTHER .
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL
