🚨I joined @casten.house.gov and 150+ House Democrats demanding answers from the Treasury Secretary on Elon Musk’s access to sensitive data and classified payment systems. The richest man in the world doesn't deserve unchecked access to your Social Security and Medicare. We're working to stop him.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.” “Normalize Indian hate.” “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.” Does this not sound like someone shaped by the same ideology that fueled apartheid South Africa?

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

Republicans handed Musk’s team access to Medicare & Social Security data. It's not about fraud—they want to gut benefits to fund billionaire tax cuts. I won’t stand by while they loot the country. I’m fighting to revoke Musk’s access, stop this coup, and hold everyone responsible accountable.

Elon Musk and DOGE are now going after Medicare.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 5(source)

Republicans gave Elon Musk the green light to let a 19-year-old and his pals access every payment and data system at OPM, GSA & Treasury. Next they want the Small Business Admin. A $290M campaign donation bought Musk access to the financial and personal data of Americans. We have to shut this down.

I’m sure the Palestinians will love the idea that their country is going to be full of showgirls and or strippers and hookers and casinos and liquor.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 5(source)

Trump says Palestinians should leave Gaza permanently and US will ‘take over’ strip - CNN//MIGHT THIS BE CONNECTED TO TRUMPS’ PLANNED AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY FUND.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 5(source)

Tonight, Ds & Rs honored victims of the DC air crash. Trump shouldn't use the tragedy to divide us. His illegal, unconstitutional attacks on our institutions should offend everyone. Even Rs who were attacked on Jan6 didn’t object to the insurrectionists’ pardons. Together we must defend our country.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialFeb 2(source)

And he tells Germans to forget their Holocaust past. I guess he’s forgotten his apartheid legacy

Let's never forget he grew up under aparteid. Have not seen much comment about that, but presume it's in his DNA.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u... Musk is not a friend of democracy and Trump has given power to wage war on our government. Musk is dangerous.

Top Security Officials at Aid Agency Put on Leave After Denying Access to Musk Team

Workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development are bracing for a loss of its independent status and sweeping layoffs as President Trump continues slashing foreign aid.

Congrats to Adrian Maclin on being named 2025 Grammy Music Educator of the Year! I’ve known him for 20 years—he’s a wonderful Memphian, a dedicated teacher at Cordova High, and choir director at Mount Moriah Baptist East. He’s truly deserving of this honor! www.commercialappeal.com/story/entert...

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

What happened at DCA was horrific. Politicians from the president on down need to be focused on the victims and the rescue personnel . No one should shoot from the hip about causes as the Transportation Safety Board conducts its fact based review.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

Last night’s crash at DCA was a terrible tragedy. My deepest sympathies for all of the victims, and for their families and friends. Thank you to all first responders and public servants for their brave and heroic actions. This was an extremely difficult duty.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 30(source)

I'm closely monitoring tonight's tragic accident at DCA & in contact with the FAA & NTSB. As we await more information, my thoughts are with everyone involved and the first responders working at the scene. Full statement w/ Reps.
