This is @repcohen.bsky.social who just had his district, the only TN District that truly represents Black residents, redrawn to dilute the voice of Black voters . He makes clear that @splcenter.org fights #antisemitimsm & proudly mentions his relationship with. This was a moving moment.

Last Monday was a great day for South City as we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the South City Early Education Center—a new anchor tenant of the Porter Jr. High redevelopment. This transformation was made partly possible with $3M in FY23 Community Project funding and the hard work of all involved.

We all know who the stupid one is we all know who the crooked one is. Trump is no JFK! HE'S NOT EVEN A DICK NIXON EXCEPT ON NIXON'S WORST DAYS!!

Let's support this Thank you @repcohen.bsky.social resist.bot/petitions/PR...

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pay tribute to U.S. and Allied Forces who served during World War II and remember the service members whose bravery on the beaches and in the skies above Normandy and Nazi-occupied France changed the course of history.

Last night I spoke from the House floor urging my colleagues to vote in favor of the Support Ukraine Act. We need to stand with democracy, freedom, and courage and against authoritarianism. I was pleased the resolution passed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jWp...

Thank you @repcohen.bsky.social More injustice from chief injustice Roberts Yup: resist.bot/petitions/PR...

The actions we take today to protect our environment will help create a healthier, more sustainable future for all. That's why I am co-leading a letter to oppose @EPA's rescission of coal ash rules and working on legislation to strengthen the Clean Air Act.

This week in committee I argued the reasons why Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached after additional evidence came forward with the Alabama case. I filed six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice Roberts on May 21st.

thehill.com/homenews/hou... You were either for the freedom fighting western looking Ukrainian heroes or the disgusting Russian killers who want power and land to try recreate the Soviet Union. How could the Republicans vote almost unanimously to be in bed with Putin and the killers? Sad!

TN US House Rep Steve Cohen is NOT GIVING UP THE SHIP‼️💪💙 Thanks for your continued fighting spirit for Memphis & our country @repcohen.bsky.social

Today I was honored by the Greater Memphis Chamber with a plaque commemorating my work, leadership, & steadfast commitment to Memphis. It has been wonderful working with the Chamber on projects that build up our community, like the $393.9M new I-55 Bridge. Grateful for the many years of teamwork.

Spoke on the House floor yesterday in support of the Benton MacKaye National Scenic Trail Feasibility Study Act, which I co-lead with @RepChuck & voted for. The 288-mile trail connects GA, TN & NC. This study is the first step toward potential National Scenic Trail status, the first one since 2009.

Visited Sweet Cheeks Diaper Ministry last week to learn how they support mothers and newborns with essentials like diapers and formula. These costs add up fast, which is why organizations like these are so important. Their volunteers bring dignity, comfort, and hope to families who need it most.

Joined Mayor Young at PURE Academy to highlight the $1,031,000 in federal funding I secured for the Youth Violence Prevention Program. Grateful to hear from leaders at PURE Academy and Heal 901 and to see their inspiring work to keep our youth and community safe.

South Carolina Senate Does Not Act on New Midterm Map, Defying Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u... UNFORTUNATELY, TENNESSEE SENATORS WERE NOT AS BRAVE AND TRUE TO WHAT WAS BEST FOR TENNESSEE. HAVING ONE DEM WHEN THEY’LL BE A DEM PRESIDENT IS BEST FOR THE STATE

I joined colleagues in calling on the President to commute the sentences of people serving non-violent marijuana sentences. Too many lives have been derailed by outdated laws that no longer reflect our nation’s views— nearly 9 in 10 Americans support some form of legal marijuana.

This Memorial Weekend it is important we focus on the things that truly matter, like our duty to ensure the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to serving our country and defending our democratic values always receive the support they need.

If you care about voting rights, if you care about the Constitution, If you care about equality, liberty, and the future of democracy, watch this, please. Nothing will change until we realize SCOTUS is a political arm of MAGA. #ExpandSCOTUS #ExpandtheCourt youtu.be/j1psfo0GiDQ?...

Trump wants taxpayers to subsidize a billion-dollar ballroom for Mar a-Lago culture at the White House while working families are being told there’s no money for housing, healthcare, or lowering costs. That's why I joined an amicus brief challenging this in court.

Ever wonder what you could do with $1.776 billion in Memphis? Trump wants to hand that out to his lackeys, but my colleagues and I introduced the No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Fund Act to stop him.

I introduced six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts for compromising the credibility of the Supreme Court. See my release below. cohen.house.gov/media-center...

Last night I joined Freedom House in celebrating 85 years of defending democracy. I was proud to see one of the freed prisoners, Vladimir Kara-Murza, who I championed as the envoy of the Helsinki Commision for political prisoners, a special part of my career.

Memphis has always been at the center of the fight for civil rights, and this is no different. Overturning the Voting Rights Act takes away from everything Dr. King bled and died fighting for. Alito, Thomas, and Roberts must be impeached.

I love Memphis. I represented Memphis. I fought for Memphis. I’ve lived and breathed Memphis all my life. These new maps don’t represent our city, which is why I am still fighting for Memphis in court.

I'll be on Ms Now today at 11:45 central time A.M.

With the new TN districts broken up 29%, 29%, and 32% Black the only thing not adding up here is the GOP’s claim this new map “isn’t about race”. I’m no mathematician, but if you see a pattern, assume it’s telling you something. Numbers don’t lie— people do.

See my interview with Alex Coleman at WREG Studios in half an hour and later my interview with Kim Clark at WMC Studios around 4pm.

Trump Administration Live Updates: $1.8 Billion Fund Could Funnel Money to Trump Allies www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05... WE ARE NOW AN AUTOCRATIC STATE! TRUMP CONTROLS THE TAXPAYERS MONEY. HE GIVES IT TO HIS FRIENDS AND HOOLIGANS OF I/6. THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.😩🥲😱

After 19 years serving the 9th District, I made the decision to not run in the new gerrymandered districts created from it. If the courts restore the current 9th until 2028, I’ll remain a candidate, though that’s unlikely. Representing Memphis for 47 years has been the honor of my lifetime.

@repcohen.bsky.social did good work for Memphis and his district. Cohen said the proven racist felon Trump is, “the greatest threat to democracy and to decorum and grace that we’ve ever seen.” To split up the 2 largest cities, Nashville and Memphis isn't good. www.youtube.com/live/GP7ggxZ...

John Roberts says the SCOTUS isn't political, then scurries to service the GOP when they can't win on their own merit. What did the SCOTUS do when Trump got nervous after VA? They JUMPED INTO ACTION to gut the VRA and steal the voice of an entire city. They're the political arm of the White House.

The TN GOP is willing to strip away voting rights that people died for—and to deny the second largest city in their own state effective representation in Congress for decades to come—just to try and help Trump avoid Democratic oversight for another 2 years. Memphis isn't going down without a fight.

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... 👇

On the CNN 2 minutes

Be on CNN in about 4 minutes re: Tn. Jim Crow redistricting

Mark Kelly is a great American

He’s a Huey!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
