Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is facing a new impeachment resolution put forward by a House Democrat. The long-shot effort was introduced on Thursday by Representative Steve Cohen. The Tennessee Democrat announced last week that he would forgo his reelection bid after it became clear he was unlikely to win, as the state moved swiftly to gerrymander following a seismic Supreme Court opinion in late April that gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced on Friday that he signed a document requesting not to be included on the ballot in Tennessee's 9th Congressional District. The congressman described the district determined by "new lines" as "nothing like the 9th district that I've represented." The Democratic primary in the district is scheduled to take place in August. Speaking after his announcement, Cohen described President Donald Trump as "the greatest threat to democracy, and to … decorum … and grace, that we've ever seen."

A Democratic strategist stunned a CNN panel into silence after claiming a new congressional map set to make a black Republican the odds-on favorite to win the election is racist. Democratic strategist Tezlyn Figaro made the argument on Thursday's NewsNight after journalist Lydia Moynihan pointed out how the redistricting bid will help the odds of GOP candidate Charlotte Bergmann, a black woman, in Tennessee. The new map made it through the state's general assembly hours before. Moynihan framed the situation as 'ironic', given that many critics have called the redraw racist. They say it dilutes the state's only black-majority district,...

Tennessee lawmakers on Wednesday unveiled a proposal for a new congressional map that would heavily favor Republicans this November by splitting up the state’s sole Democratic district. The map would put a target on Rep. Steve Cohen, who represents the state’s only majority-Black district and is the lone Democrat among Tennessee’s nine House members. Memphis, which is currently contained in Cohen’s district, would be divided into three parts under the proposal. The proposal comes amid a renewed push from President Trump for GOP state lawmakers to move forward with mid-decade redistricting. Trump and Republicans scored a victory last week when...

President Biden’s pardoning of his son shatters the moral pretensions of the establishment.And just like that, the virtuous come crashing back down to Earth. For months, US president Joe Biden said he would not pardon his son, Hunter. We the high-minded do not play such low games, he said. We respect juries. We respect the law of the land. Look how different we are to Donald Trump, how so much more morally spotless, cried the Dems’ acolytes in the legacy media. Where Trump handed out pardons like candy to his crooked associates, we the righteous few, the ‘adults in the...

Prominent academic and New York Times columnist John McWhorter has declared it would be a good thing somebody assassinated former President Donald Trump. In a new episode of “The Glenn Show” with Brown University economics professor Glenn Loury, McWhorter said, “I have taken a great deal of heat for saying, for implying, that I wish somebody would kill Donald Trump.”

White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game. As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.” Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing as R&B singer Andra Day performed...

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) claims the film Judas and the Black Messiah inspired him to introduce a bill that would strip J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the FBI building.

The "virtual" inauguration for Joe Biden on Wednesday will be anything but normal. Already, 25,000 National Guard troops have been dispatched to Washington, D.C., in response to the Jan. 6 riot. On Monday, an inauguration rehearsal was interrupted because of a fire in a nearby homeless camp. Now, a House Democrat from Tennessee, Rep. Steve Cohen, is expressing distrust of the Guard troops. "The Guard is 90-some-odd percent, I believe, male. Only about 20% of white males voted for Biden," Cohen told CNN. "You gotta figure that in the Guard, which is predominantly more conservative, and I see that on...

Bill de Blasio has privately told Major League Baseball that he will do everything he can to stop Steve Cohen from buying the Mets.

Rep.

Cohen was talking about the federal police in Portland - who have been clashing with determined protesters - and said they, like the guards who...

A House Democrat who’s a frequent critic of the Trump administration submitted a resolution Tuesday calling for the impeachment of Attorney General William Barr. House Resolution 1032, filed by U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, accuses the nation’s top law enforcement officer of using his job to pursue political goals. “Today, I introduced #HRes1032, which would authorize an impeachment inquiry into Attorney General Barr,” Cohen wrote on Twitter. “He has politicized the DOJ, undermined the rule of law, abused his power, obstructed justice & violated the first amendment. He is not fit to be Attorney General.”

A third House Democrat announced plans on Monday to boycott President Trump's Tuesday State of the Union address, which will take place a day before the Senate is expected to acquit the president in his impeachment trial. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who also skipped Trump's previous State of the Union addresses, said that he will not be attending the speech on Tuesday. “I have chosen not to dignify Trump’s parade of lies about health care, his persistent exaggeration, and his personal attacks with my attendance at this year’s State of the Union Address. His appalling performances each day continue to...

House Democratic leaders were successful Wednesday in staving off a bid to impeach President Trump, but the effort is far from dead. A handful of Democrats added their names last week to the long list of lawmakers now endorsing an impeachment inquiry, growing the tally to more than a third of the caucus. Rep. Al Green, the Texas Democrat who forced last week's impeachment vote, is threatening to revisit the issue later this cycle. And Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), who had introduced articles of impeachment in the last Congress, says he plans to do so again, likely after the long...
