Steve Cohen, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee’s 9th district, has recently shared his views on various issues through social media. Cohen, who has been serving in Congress since 2007 after replacing Harold Ford Jr., is known for his active engagement on public platforms. Below are some of his recent statements.

On February 17, 2025, Steve Cohen expressed concern over a decision by former President Trump regarding the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “Trump just fired hundreds of FAA tech & maintenance workers—the people who keep radar, landing, and navigation systems running—amid a string of recent plane crashes, including in DC and Alaska. This is dangerous, and it undermines public confidence in air travel. Reverse this…”

On February 19, 2025, Cohen highlighted Memphis as a key music destination in the United States. He praised the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum’s ranking among the top ten music museums nationally. “Another great music destination in Memphis. The @rocknsoulmuseum is ranked among the top 10 music museums in the entire country—joining legendary spots like Graceland, Stax Museum, and Sun Studio. Put on your blue suede shoes and come visit Memphis!”

On February 20, 2025, Cohen commented on a cabinet member’s nomination process without naming specific individuals or positions. “One of many cabinet members who should not have been nominated or consented to.”
