They are 100% MAGA

Trump and Musk are destroying the government which is the structure of the United States of America. We have an authoritarian as president and this is scary as Hell.And the Republicans in Congress don’t care.It’s not my country. It may be Trumpsylvania or Muskrat but it’s not the USA. I will fight!

I served a term on conservation and natural resources committee where the chair was Rep.Grijalva. He was fair and courteous to all, but he always stood for the environment.He believed that we inherit the Earth and that we must leave it in a better state for the next generation.He did that. Farewell

Imagine you're a Republican. You control the House, Senate & White House. You spent 9 weeks sucking up to Elon Musk and gutting vital programs. Your "mandate," you said. You draft a budget alone, without Democrats. Everyone hates it. Your own party can't pass it. And now it's Democrats' fault? 🤡

And what does health guru and HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy think about this? Will cutting bike lanes and pedestrian infrastructure help combat obesity or “make America healthy again”? Absolutely not.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMar 13(source)

The GOP thinks our streets are safe enough. No need for improvement. Now they’re yanking funds for pedestrian safety, biking & EV projects—funding Congress already allocated. Memphis has the highest pedestrian death rate in the US. We need safer streets, not reckless cuts that make roads deadlier.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMar 13(source)

The Democratic Caucus and I are prepared to pass a 4-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps the government open, and gives time to reach a bipartisan deal. We're ready to vote at any time. We just need Republicans to get serious.

Auchincloss on Trump's trade war: "Home insurance and car insurance bills are messages from the future about cost of living ... and the message from the future from my constituents is going to be, it's going to cost a lot more ... he is imposing an onerous tax on the middle class right now."

Congressman Cohen’s Statement After Voting “No” on Continuing Budget Resolution

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today vote “no” on a Continuing Resolution for federal funding through September 30 that passed on a 217 to 213 vote, and made the following statement:

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

Republicans just passed a partisan funding bill that gives Trump & Musk a blank check to keep gutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid & more. I voted NO because working families and everyday Americans shouldn’t be the ones paying the price for their extreme agenda.

House DPCC@dpcc.house.govMar 11(source)

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

Big banks spent years trying to kill the CFPB. Now they’re panicking because they realize gutting it helps Trump’s billionaire tech donors—not them. The CFPB was the only real check on Big Tech, fintech, and payday lenders. Without it, they’re free to exploit consumers with no oversight.

The CFPB finds itself with an unlikely ally: the same banks that reliably complained about its rules and enforcement actions.

Over 225,000 residents of TN-09 rely on Medicaid or CHIP for health insurance. Your health is your livelihood. I’m for increasing access to health care, not cutting it.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

FACT: There’s not enough “waste, fraud and abuse” in Medicaid to prevent these severe cuts from hurting everyday families, many of whom would not be able to pay for an ER visit.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

House Republicans are LYING when they say their budget doesn’t cut #Medicaid. The CBO proved it. The GOP budget demands $2 trillion in cuts. The only way to get there is by cutting Medicaid benefits for millions. They knew this and passed it anyway so millionaires billionaires could get tax cuts.

BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed Republicans who say their budget doesn't cut Medicaid are lying. Their budget *requires* the largest Medicaid cuts in American history - all while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to billionaire donors.

Trump’s Affinity for Putin Grows More Consequential Than Ever
