The ongoing gerrymandering race in the U.S. has just claimed the Tennessee district of Congressman Steve Cohen @repcohen.bsky.social, ranking member of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Special Representative on Political Prisoners, and... 👇

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

Accurate Edit for Clarity: "He should live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes." Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate. 💙-mh

And just like that, the TN GOP voted to enforce a racial gerrymander of Memphis and strip our city of effective representation for decades. Trump knows he HAS TO rig the game to keep his majority in November. And the TN GOP was willing to go along with it. It’s shameful. Next stop is the courts.

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

Proud to stand up for Memphis in the TN State Legislature today alongside State Senators Raumesh Akbari, London Lamar & the legendary Stacey Abrams of Georgia. The TN GOP wants to sacrifice our voice and our city’s future just for Trump to hold onto power for 2 more years. Not without a fight.

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

Testifying now before the TN State Senate Judiciary Committee. I will never stop fighting for Memphis. More to come.

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

Gov. Bill Lee has touted the new $400+ Million King's Crossing Bridge for years. As TN's only Democratic Congressman, Gov. Lee and the TN GOP came to ME to lobby the Biden Admin. for that funding—great for Memphis & the state. Their new maps would ensure they'd never get that help in the future.

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

This is insane. The GOP's newly proposed TN Congressional maps would have people in Shelby County all the way to Williamson County—200+ miles apart—being "represented" by the same Congressman. It's a blatant, corrupt power grab that would destroy the Black community's and our entire city's voice.

⚡️UPDATE: PROPOSED 9-0 TENNESSEE CONGRESSIONAL MAP RELEASED Here’s the map from @GovBillLee & Republicans to dilute Black representation in Memphis with white power to protect Trump (after doing it to Nashville)

I'll be on MSNBC at 9:40 this morning central time to discuss the gerrymandering of my congressional district

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

The corruption, the grift, the mass deportations — Trump and the GOP know it's all coming to an end in November. Unless they can rig the game beforehand. That's what this is all about. They want to re-draw the maps to silence voices they don't like hearing. Memphis isn't going without a fight.

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

Trump and his Jim Crow Supreme Court want to secure GOP control for the next century by redrawing the maps and silencing our voice. Well Memphis isn’t going away without a fight. I’m Nashville today to stand up & fight back against Trump’s corrupt takeover. I will never stop fighting for Memphis.

Trump wants the TN State Legislature to take the voice of #Memphis out of Congress, and it looks like Governor Lee is already caving — he called a special legislative session starting tomorrow to review TN's Congressional maps. I’m not backing down. Join us tonight to learn more. bit.ly/callais2026

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMay 4(source)

The Supreme Court is stripping away the representation that Black Americans fought and died for to help Trump hold onto power in the midterms—drawing new maps to silence voices they don’t like hearing. They know exactly what they’re doing. I'm going to stand and fight for #Memphis.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMay 1(source)

Trump’s Jim Crow Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act—and within hours the GOP was targeting Memphis. They want to redraw the lines, erase Black voting power, and hold onto power any way they can. I’m not letting that happen without a fight. Join us today at the National Civil Rights Museum.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialMay 1(source)

Trump and the GOP know they can't win on the merits. So they're emasculating the Voting Rights Act, changing the maps, and trying to take representation and power away from Black Americans to keep their majority. That's what this is all about. It's Jim Crow redistricting. We're going to fight it.

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

I’ll be on CNN Jake Tapper at 6 o’clock Eastern time tonight. We’ll be talking about the redistricting in Tennessee or the possibility thereof because of the Supreme Court gutting of section 2 of the voting rights act

Trump and the GOP are coming for the power of Black voters in Memphis. They emasculated the VRA—now Trump needs to finish the job by November to save his majority in Congress. I'm not backing down. My team and I are already in touch with experienced voting rights attorneys to try and stop this.
