President Trump wants to check to make sure there is still gold in Kentucky at the legendary depository for American gold reserves. Why? For some reason, he and… TRUMP WANTS TO MAKE SURE NO WANT BEATS HIM TO IT👑

Kash Patel is likely the most unqualified person ever confirmed to lead the FBI. The agency was built to go after the bad guys—Chicago bootleggers, gangsters, the mafia, and foreign threats. Under Patel, it’ll be turned into a weapon for revenge to go after Trump’s enemies instead. A total disgrace.

The chicken was interesting in how Dems and MAGA think so differently .Most Democrats got it & liked it. Maga thinks it’s a way to ridicule me over the years and often send a picture of me eating chicken or of KFC when they are on the attack. They don’t get humor but they do get muted or blocked!

Ya’ll just remembering that time my Rep @repcohen.bsky.social brought fried chicken to make a point. We need more acts like this. time.com/5581923/cong...

Didn’t mention Carter’s other accomplishments that Trump is attempting to eliminate :creation of the department of energy, FEMA,and Panama Canal Treaty

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 20(source)

Yeah, it is what it has been

And I don’t believe Nixon tried to monetize all of his actions and violate the emoluments clause I have Secret Service stay at his hotels, pay exorbitant rates and have American flights not go to the most convenient airport, but the one closest to his hotel so the pilots crew would pay there etc etc

The FBI is gonna get your number, but not if you put a fluky in charge of the FBI

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 20(source)

Well, let’s agree that all that’s true so maybe they’re equally dishonest

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 20(source)

Far smarter and even more honest than Trump

Trump ends federal leadership program, cutting off key talent pipeline// this was a program started by Jimmy Carter, who also created the department of education, which he pledged to destroy .President Carter achieved much success for USAID in Africa, another target of Doge. Trump never liked Jimmy!

Trump’s first 29 days have been total chaos: attacks on allies, dangerous policies & outright illegal actions. It’s a lot to track, so I created a page highlighting some of his worst actions and the pushback underway—in & outside of Congress. We'll continue updating. cohen.house.gov/TrumpAdminTr...
