Steve Cohen, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee's 9th district since 2007, has recently taken to social media to express his legislative efforts and political concerns. With a history of service in both the U.S. Congress and the Tennessee Senate, Cohen has been an active voice in various legislative matters.

On February 7, 2025, Steve Cohen announced his co-sponsorship of the Taxpayer Data Protection Act. He stated that this legislation aims to "lock Elon Musk out of America's most sensitive data systems and keep YOUR info safe." Cohen urged for bipartisan support by calling on three Republicans to join him and others in passing this bill. The full post can be viewed here.

Later that day, Cohen criticized Republican actions regarding presidential powers and oversight mechanisms. He expressed disapproval over Republicans' willingness to "limit the president’s power to stop fracking" while not enforcing laws requiring presidential adherence to congressional appropriations. Additionally, he highlighted concerns about firing inspectors general who address waste and fraud while granting access to technology figures like Elon Musk's associates. His remarks are accessible here.

In another brief post on February 8, 2025, Cohen shared a cryptic message stating simply: "Give em Mar a lago." The context or implications of this statement were not elaborated upon in the tweet itself but can be seen here.
