Trump is ripping up the Constitution and seizing power from Congress to advance his agenda: powers of the purse, dismantling agencies Congress has jurisdiction over & more. And the GOP—the same ones who claim to care about the Constitution—are just rolling over for him. That's how democracy dies. ⬇️

Musk’s Latest Fraud Finding Isn’t What It Seems

Congressman Cohen and Senator Markey Lead a Letter to EPA Requesting a List of Companies Seeking Presidential Permission to Pollute

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) and Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts today led 59 Congressional colleagues in a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeld...

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

The Trump admin opened a backdoor to exempt companies from the Clean Air Act—with ZERO public notice or accountability. I led 59 colleagues with @markey.senate.gov demanding the names of every company that applied. Who’s trying to pollute behind closed doors? We deserve to know. We will find out.

Trump isn’t a king. He doesn’t get taxpayer funded tanks and fighter jets for turning 79. If he wants a birthday party, he can have cake—or bingo—on his own dime. My HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act would stop him from wasting tax dollars on a military parade. That's for authoritarians, not US presidents.

Congressman Cohen Introduces the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act

Trump has hurt the stock market (401k’s),damaged our reputation among allies and other nations, destroying our nations safety net,abandoned fight to save Earth from climate change and weakening our democracy. What more can the felon, sex offender and liar in chief do to screw up our world?

Republicans just paved the way for the largest cut to America's social safety net in history—billions stolen from SNAP & Medicaid, from children, the disabled, and seniors. All to make the rich even richer. It's theft in broad daylight. I voted NO. Full remarks from the House floor last night ⬇️

I wrote Secretary Noem on Feb. 14 asking for basic answers the American people deserve to know: -Who is being picked up by ICE? -Have they been convicted of violent crimes? -What jurisdictions are involved? -How many have been sent to Guantanamo Bay? 2 months of complete silence says quite a lot.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialApr 10(source)

Secretary Noem has had plenty of time for cowboy cosplay and prison photo ops in El Salvador—but not to answer my basic questions about ICE detentions and deportations. Who’s being held? Why? Where is ANY shred of due process? This isn’t tough-on-crime. It’s lawless, cowardly, and un-American.

The GOP budget isn’t about the middle class. And it's not about the deficit—if it was they'd just direct money towards decreasing the deficit instead of giving it to billionaires. Their budget is about making the ultra-rich even wealthier. And using Social Security, Medicare & more to pay for it.

Trump asks Supreme Court to block order requiring US to bring back man mistakenly deported to El Salvador - CNN HE IS PAYING EL SALVADOR MILLIONS TO TAKE DEPORTEES. YOU THINK TRUMP COULD MAKE A PHONE CALL AND ASK FOR EARLY CHECK OUT FOR ONE

He is a petulant sociopathic grifter,bankrupted dozens of times, convicted of 34 felonies, guilty civilly for sexually assaulting women,and banned from being on a charitable board because he cheated. And you think he is not a good businessman. The only thing he’s good at is lying to the public.FRAUD

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/b... all the experts say we have made a big mistake with tariffs and inflation will increase greatly,yet Trump and his minions say don’t worry it’ll be fine. His professor at Penn said he was the stupidest student he ever had and he’s in charge of our economy. We r f’ed.

My house companion of 10 years, Little Black Kitty, died last weekend at age 10 or 11. She never talked about her age. She was too young to die.Value your four-legged friends. They sure make life better.
