Steve Cohen, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee's 9th district since 2007, recently expressed his concerns through a series of tweets on December 5, 2024. His posts addressed both domestic and international issues, reflecting his active engagement in political discourse.

In one tweet posted on December 5 at 13:27 UTC, Cohen criticized former President Donald Trump for "creating a cabinet to breed chaos and danger in society as he nominates people without skills to make government work." The tweet suggests apprehension regarding the qualifications of individuals being appointed to governmental positions by Trump. "Trump is creating a cabinet to breed chaos and danger in society as he nominates people without skills to make government work."

Later that day, at 17:38 UTC, Cohen addressed human rights issues concerning Iran. He condemned the Iranian regime's actions against political prisoners, describing them as "appalling violations of #HumanRights." As Co-Chair of the Iran Human Rights & Democracy Caucus and OSCE Special Representative on Political Prisoners, he called for an immediate cessation of these actions. "The Iranian regime’s death sentences against political prisoners are appalling violations of #HumanRights."

Following this statement about Iran, another tweet was posted at the same time (17:39 UTC), directing followers to read his full statement via an external link. "Full statement here "
