Public court documents confirm the Trump Admin admitted, under oath, to killing thousands of good jobs, ripping away opportunities from hardworking families, & raising energy costs for entire communities so they could punish Americans for their political views. This is what corruption looks like.

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

Trump Orders Warnings Placed at ‘Inaccurate’ Smithsonian History Museum www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/a... LIKE HE WOULD HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HISTORY WAS. AS HIS FRIEND JEFFREY EPSTEIN NOTED HE WAS NO STABLE GENIUS. Of course that was unless it was a stable filled the horses.

Last Friday, I visited the Alpha Omega Veterans Service to celebrate the federal funding I secured for this great organization that is focused on “Helping Veterans Help Themselves.”

Hegseth is asking Congress for $70 billion more to fund his failed war, yet Trump won’t even pay taxes on his $2.4 billion income. President Trump, bring your chips to the table.

Lifting export restrictions on an advanced microchip for China to buy doesn't seem very "America first" to me. Trump is aiding our adversaries and threatening our national security.

Putting 2&2 together.I filed the first complete impeachment resolution against Trump in 2017.I call Trump out when he grifts,&violates the constitution ,and when he lies. And the 1st state where he obliterated a majority black district was mine. Connect the dots?He would have done to any Dem but….

You were right the way you used to think. I am one of the most progressive members in Tennessee’s history, and I’ve been one of the most progressive members of Congress.And represented a majority minority district for 20 years and not to lose a precinct in a reelect >18 years is pretty amazing.

I boycotted both of Netanyahu’s speeches to Congress. I’m no fan of his.He is hurting Israel. I was the first Member to join JStreet and endorse them. I’ve never received any money from Aipac. I’ve always been a very pro two state solution Congressman and I’ve encourage humanitarian aid to Gaza

I was original sponsor of the Green new deal. And was leading Congress Person in the fight against the Keystone pipeline. So yes, I’ve been there on environmental issues and others I doubt I’ll ever run again. I’m 77 and post polio has taken a toll on physical abilities. I’ll miss Congress.

Don't let this recent political technology campaign to make leftists attack Democrats get you down. You made a tremendous difference in your career as an elected Democrat and are appreciated by those of us who haven't been caught up in all of this anti-Democrat activism.

Steve, I’m sorry to see you go. You have been a beacon of hope for the people of Tennessee, the country,& our planet. Whatever you do next, I hope it brings you happiness and some peace of mind. I worked in TN for 20 years. I know some of what you’ve dealt with. As my students say, You are the man!
