FYI- Hagerty and Blackburn are on that list of 8- despicable!

"... a deadly blind spot in the probation supervision system emerges at a time when experts say domestic violence victims are particularly vulnerable." Great write by Paige Pfleger @wpln.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/tenn...

📷HEY TENNESSEE!!📷 Early voting starts TOMORROW for the District 7 race. Get out and vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social For all the people who say they want change in Tennessee- THIS IS OUR CHANCE! Let's FLIP THIS SEAT!!! www.aftynforcongress.com

Remember when we had a president who cared about honoring our veterans?

A lot of people don't know that the next step in the MAGA plan is to take the vote away from women. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🚨 The FBI just warned that criminals posing as ICE agents have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in multiple states. If you can't identify law enforcement, you don't HAVE law enforcement! #FBI #ICE #Accountability www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

News from the Tennessee CD7 race: @democrats.org Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social will be in the district this weekend and leading canvasses for @aftynbehn.bsky.social. Following the results of Tuesday's elections, national Democratic eyes have become laser-focused on this race.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

Paul Krugman said on his Substack Tuesday: “It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles—but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.”

What he said: 💯 🎯

PSA: If you're driving on TN highways at night, completely sober, you can still get charged with a DUI. Tennessee's insatiable drive to feed the prison industrial complex has now extended to trooper quotas for DUIs, and sober people are getting charged. www.wsmv.com/2025/10/27/f...

This is interesting. It’s a lot better imo than ‘resist’ www.defiance.org

POTUS left the U.S. during a shutdown- nothing says "I don't care about Americans" like that. And Lee just released this disgustingly political nothing-burger. If R's want to reopen, they can change the Senate filibuster rules and do it! It's on them.

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

From @campbell4tn.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/theheidi...

Guess who's still getting paid in this shutdown? ICE agents! They're even getting signing bonuses- that's YOUR tax dollars- we can't afford to fund SNAP or air traffic controllers, but we ARE paying Proud Boys and Neo-Nazis to cover their faces and attack our citizens.

🤔 “load the jails full of them” Ex-TN Highway Patrol troopers say they were pressured to arrest people for DUI’s to get higher pay, likely leading to sober drivers being arrested — “This is corruption. We’re ruining people’s lives.” www.wsmv.com/2025/10/27/f...

This is outrageous and indefensible. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

Skrmetti sat across from me in our office when he was appointed and of his own volition said he promised not to be political- he has been nothing but political every day he’s served (self-served, to be clear)🤦‍♀️ tennesseelookout.com/briefs/tenne...

Hey Tennessee! Let’s all give a big 🙏🙏🙏 to @jeffyarbro.bluesky.social @gabbysalinas.bluesky.social @leeharris.bluesky.social for fighting for our freedom, our constitution, and our rights! www.wsmv.com/2025/10/17/l...

Please repost!

This is going to be an amazing event- don't miss it!

As predicted, the goal is to gut public ed completely. Livability, earnability, jobs, business, & economic prosperity are highly correlated to ed opportunity. People will leave TN if we lose public ed. This is not an opinion- it's simple math. tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/14/d...

@AndyOgles has not done a single thing -not one meaningful thing - to help the people of his district. There is no question Molder is the right person to represent Tennessee’s 5th. I ran for this seat. I know this district. We can flip it. Let’s get behind Mayor Chaz Molder and make it happen.

Thankful to Bill Frist for sharing the real science with us- this is a Republican telling us that climate change is not a hoax. 🙏🙏🙏

Formative development in the first five years of a child’s life is a strong positive indicator for later outcomes. So proud of my colleague Senator Charlane Oliver for her work in this space. Thank you to Raising Readers Nashville for their work and for the recognition.

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50! #FightFireWithFire

Take some time to think about where we're headed with AI BEFORE it's no longer an option (so, like, now!) www.humanetech.com

Aftyn Behn Wins the Democratic Primary! It’s official — Aftyn Behn is the Democratic nominee for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District! 💙 This victory belongs to every volunteer, voter, and believer who knocked doors, made calls, and showed that people power still wins in Tennessee.

⚡️ NEW: State Rep. Aftyn Behn has won the Democratic Primary in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District Special Election @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Flights to and from Nashville International Airport® will be reduced beginning today due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. This will remain in effect until further notice. All airlines have been informed. Travelers should check flight statuses.

Hey Nashville! Remind people to VOTE today and if you’re in District 7 go vote! Don’t sit this one out! nashville.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJour...

Tennessee - if only.

@jeffyarbro.bsky.social challenges the deployment of the Guard to Memphis, saying it is likely unconstitutional. A 2024 opinion by Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti was recently revised to reverse the state's position. www.thecentersquare.com/tennessee/ar...

My letter to Nexstar- Sinclair already reversed their decision.
