Live Updates: Sean Combs Sentenced to More Than 4 Years in Prison After Apologizing for ‘Sick’ Conduct

Live Updates: Sean Combs Sentenced to More Than 4 Years in Prison After Apologizing for ‘Sick’ Conduct www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10... well SOME PEOPLE are not above the law for committing heinous sex crimes.

I’m deferring my pay for the duration of the shutdown.

Thousands of people in Memphis & TN9 are going to be impacted—from federal employees and servicemembers to contractors & middle-class families who keep our city running.

If they aren't getting paid because of the GOP shutdown, neither will I.

On the case now and for decades standing up and delivering for my constituents

Republicans control the White House, Senate & House. They set this shutdown deadline, and then jammed through the Big Ugly Bill gutting SNAP, Medicaid & ACA tax credits to enrich billionaires.

Now they need Dems and won't negotiate—and blocked us from offering an alternative.

It's a GOP shutdown.

The long-term solution to crime is better schools, more job opportunities, more mental health resources, and real law enforcement partnerships. Not the National Guard.

Trump's deployment won't solve crime. The real concern is it's a cover for ICE to rip good, hardworking people from our community.

I’ll be on @cnn.com at 9:20am CT to discuss why sending the National Guard into Memphis is the wrong approach.

Memphis deserves real investment to improve education and job opportunities, and real law enforcement partnerships. Not political stunts.

Former interim Mayor & longest-serving Memphis councilman Myron Lowery lived a life of service with integrity & grace. Myron and I supported each other through elections, but more important was our 50-year friendship. I’ll miss him. Condolences to Mary, Mickell, and his family. A life well lived.

Trump says he’s sending troops to Portland to protect ICE facilities | CNN Politics Trump’s announcement comes after a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, by a gunman who investigators believe intended to target ICE personnel and property.

www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p... hope this talk is just hypertrophy and not about lethality. As the war president, he sounds like he’ll be killing American protesters. God help us.!

This is why I voted against the GOP’s Big "Ugly” Bill — and why Democrats won’t support a CR that locks in these health care cuts.

Memphis is being hurt by this legislation as much if not more than any other district in America.

Trump forced out a respected Republican US Attorney who wouldn't charge James Comey, and replaced him with a real estate lawyer with no criminal law experience—but who knew how to say, "Yes sir, Mr. Trump."

This isn't about justice. It's about Trump using the DOJ to settle scores & silence critics.

This is how LBJ-responded to Political Satire

When governments start threatening the press and silencing critics, freedom and democracy are in danger.

History shows where that road leads.

Today, Ales Bialiatski celebrates his 63rd birthday in a Belarusian prison. He is serving a 10-year sentence on politically motivated charges for his work on human rights. Belarus must release him immediately & unconditionally.
@repcohen.bsky.social is his #DefendingFreedoms advocate.

Pope Leo warned when wealth is prized above values, society is in trouble. He’s right. Musk chasing a trillion—and a President cashing in on crypto—prove how warped it’s become.

Billionaires don’t pay a fair share in taxes. That’s why @wyden.senate.gov & I introduced the Billionaire Income Tax Act.

Trump and his FCC chairman Carr are trying to control the media and abridge free speech. Their authoritarian actions must stop.
CBS and ABC have capitulated. Let’s hope NBC stands up!
Trump has asked them to fire Seth Myers and Jimmy Fallon.
Please don’t!

Congressmen Cohen and Carson Introduce the Aviation Funding Stability Act WASHINGTON – Congressmen Steve Cohen (TN-9), the former Ranking Member of the Aviation Subcommittee, and Andre Carson (IN-7), a Member of the Aviation Subcommittee, today introduced the Aviation Fundi...

Full press release & more information here: cohen.house.gov/media-center...

Air travel is too vital to be held hostage to shutdown politics. The Aviation Funding Stability Act I introduced today keeps the FAA running even in a shutdown — so planes stay in the air, inspections continue, and workers get paid.

Shutdowns can't be allowed to ground safety or America's economy.

The FBI, DEA, and ATF are trained in law enforcement. They know Miranda rights, they know policing, and they CAN help cities lower crime.

But the National Guard isn’t trained for that, as even Kash Patel knows. Memphis needs real law enforcement partnership — not political stunts.

When CEOs make 600x what workers earn and billionaires find ways to game the system and go untaxed, something has to change. It’s time for fairness.

@repcohen.bsky.social [Rep. Cohen] explained that FBI joining forces with local police to reduce crime has had success, but the addition of National Guard troops is questionable. Cohen encouraged FBI Patel to speak w/Epstein victims[no statute of limitations]. And that Memphis has great history.

“When Love Comes To Town” on BB Kings birthday- today! Memphis is not a trouble town. It’s a town of music and barbecue and great people and great basketball and lots of histories civil rights and all.

Trump was just asked about Pope Leo’s statement regarding income inequality and Trump said he was a “popularist“ ( ?) Wtf is a popularist

Calling in the Guard isn’t even about trying to help people in Memphis, where crime is already down significantly over 2 years.

It’s about a show of force. Trump turned the DOD into the “Department of War” and he wants to use it—by sending troops into blue cities like they’re battlefields.
