This is about Knox Co but I’m certain goes on elsewhere in the state. We deserve better. Demand it.

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

Brookings Institution reported in 2025 that only about four cases of mail fraud occur per 10 million mail-in ballots, or 0.000043% of total mail ballots cast. But Republicans are using the idea of voter fraud to argue for measures that could toss more than 21 million Americans off the voter rolls.

The SAVE Act forces citizens to register in person, track down birth certificates or passports, take time off work, find childcare, and drive hours just to get on the rolls. Trump’s own commission didn’t find fraud. MAGA just wants fewer voters🤬🤬🤬 #SaveActIsPayToVote

TN voters: First of 3 elections this year: May 5 TN VOLUNTARILY turned over your information to DOJ (other states refused and won). What will DOJ do with it? Nothing good I bet. ========= 1. BEFORE April 4, 2026, check your voter registration to be sure it’s there and accurate.

Donald Trump doesn’t even try subtlety with his racism. I guess those who voted for him are okay with this, since we all knew who he has always been, starting with his birther lies.

Republican candidates who lost in the 1994 midterm elections claimed that Democrats had won only through “voter fraud.” In 1996, Republicans in both the House and the Senate launched yearlong investigations into what they insisted were problematic elections, one in Louisiana and 1/2

This statement by Elliott Morris got to me: 📌 By expanding ICE’s use of force, Trump has tied together “immigration” and “shooting American citizens.” 📌 TN’s governor has agreed to work with Stephen Miller on implementing Trump’s immigration goals. Go back ⬆️ and read Morris’s statement again. 🚷

I agree. Every voter deserves to be heard.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Trump’s actions were illegal under international law, unjustified by any cognizable claim of “self-defense,” comprised an extrajudicial abduction in violation of state sovereignty rules, and violate both the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act.

@therickwilson.bsky.social Your interviews with Amy Wallace and Sky and Amanda were so moving. Is there ANYTHING you can do to get the files released?

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Wake up!

Brian Kilmeade should have been fired. Period.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
