Celebrating a happy Easter with these good eggs. #teamjrc #easter

Chag Pesach Sameach to all who observe Passover from our family to yours. ✡️

Can't overstate the impact that's coming down the pipeline to truckers, farmers, logistics, and beyond- the U.S. economy runs on diesel with several states setting new all-time highs for diesel, while others are seeing largest monthly increases of all time: AZ +67% NV +58% NC +58% TN +56% LA +56%

Honored to serve on the “Enough is Enough” panel discussion about gun violence with fellow advocates and community leaders this evening. #TeamJRC #tn55 #gunviolence

Help us Fight for the Big South Fork. Some Republicans want to create the largest landfill in the country in Scott County, directly threatening our state’s natural environment and our fellow Tennesseans. #cleanwater #cleansoil #teamjrc youtu.be/Eo2nDUHRfOE

WATCH: “The people of Tennessee are entitled to a refund of their hard-earned money.” Republicans REJECT 🤔a @jrclemmons.bsky.social resolution calling on Tennesseans to get back BILLIONS stolen from them by Trump’s illegal tariffs

“There’s never been a president with zero interest in protecting the natural world until Donald Trump.” -historian Douglas Brinkley #teamjrc #tn55 #environment www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/c...

Nice work, MAHA yahoos. 🤦🏻‍♂️

GOP axed Rep. McKenzie bill for transparency in Bill Lee's scam to pay for 20k+ students' private school tuition. Lee argued against transparency saying that "no data 'of any value' exists because his scam is only 1 yr old. YET HE WANTS TO DOUBLE THE VOUCHERS?! tennesseelookout.com/2026/02/11/t...

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." theatln.tc/wVq7MFaa

A bill that is unquestionably, without a doubt, 100% unconstitutional. Period. These folks are wasting our time and taxpayer resources on this nonsense.

Have a blessed Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Tennessee.

As opposed to GOP Stephen Miller-led DC agenda, House Dems continue to promote a TN First agenda of affordability & quality of life. Our leaders traveled the state, listened to learn, & continue to act on what the people of TN want & deserve - real leaders solving real problems

Sadly, Tennessee’s Republican U.S. House delegation opposed displaying this plaque to honor our brave law enforcement officers. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Of 34 private schools in Davidson Co taking vouchers, 27 are religious schools. Of 32 schools we have info for, the avg min tuition = $14,018. Therefore, to use a voucher, a family had to pay 50% of tuition. This tends to indicate most voucher recipients were already in private school, as with ESAs.

“Most Tennessee public school students who use Education Savings Account vouchers aren’t leaving low-performing public schools, while ESA students overall are underperforming their public school peers in both academic achievement and growth.” tennesseelookout.com/2026/01/05/m...

Bill Lee again proves himself to be the absolute worst. There is no fiscal or policy rationale for this heartless decision. In fact, it will serve to harm Tennessee children and cost TN taxpayers more money. tennesseelookout.com/2026/01/06/g...

It’s nothing less than shameful that Gov. Bill Lee, his unqualified Commr of Ag, and Republican legislators are pushing legislation to give Bayer blanket civil immunity from the harm it is knowingly causing to TN farmers and consumers. #TeamJRC www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/c...

Happy new year, Tennessee! 2026 is an exciting new year full of opportunities to serve our fellow Tennesseans. I look forward to working with each of you for the betterment of our beloved state. #TeamJRC

Merry Christmas, Tennessee!

Grocery prices increasing 📈 Housing costs increasing📈 Healthcare costs increasing📈 Utility costs increasing📈 You know what’s not increasing? Wages for working families. Don’t believe anyone who says “affordability is a hoax” or tries to tell you your pain isn’t real.

182 years ago, on the 19th of December 1843, 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens was first published. The first edition sold out by Christmas Eve. It was written at a time where many Christmas traditions, such as cards and Christmas trees, were still relatively new. #otd #history 🗃️

No such thing as a free meal!? But you’re cool with free private school tuition? Sure, the state will give rich kids $7300 to attend private school but won’t give every kid a couple hundred dollars to eat? The hypocrisy is astounding.

Happy Hanukkah, Tennessee!

I have introduced legislation to provide universal free school meals for years. Republicans have killed the bill every year. Yet again, TN Republicans are out of step with TN families. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Today is an internationally-recognized day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease. #WorldAIDSDay

Happy Thanksgiving, Tennessee!

For those few remotely shocked by Marsha’s blatant corruption and self-dealing, this was published way back in 2010. You were warned - multiple times. Next she wants to have executive control over state contracts and a $60 billion+ state budget. THIS.CANNOT. HAPPEN.

Happy Veterans Day, Tennessee! To all those who have served, we are grateful for your sacrifice and appreciate you.🇺🇸

Join me TOMORROW at The Branch of Nashville to help our neighbors in need. Donate time, food and/or money!

🧵Giving Marsha’s empty gesture oxygen is a waste of ink bc: 1. She voted to cut SNAP benefits by $186 BILLION via BBB; 2. She knows US House won’t convene to pass a bill bc it’d require Spkr Mike Johnson to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva; and... tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/28/t...

We must do right by Tennessee families and fill in the SNAP funding gap. Are we going sit on our hands and do nothing and let 690,000 Tennesseans sit down to an empty table at Thanksgiving? #TeamJRC www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Interesting series by @insightcrime.org on how Trump has merged the war on gangs with his anti-immigration agenda. My concerns with the TBI Director's fear-mongering and misrepresentations stated during his budget hearing last year are mentioned in the second story. #TeamJRC #TN55 #immigration

“Gun deaths in TN hit a historic high. The latest data, from 2023, shows TN surpasses the national average on nearly every measure of gun deaths among adults and children.” *Data produced pursuant to law that Sen Campbell and I passed in ‘24. (Pub Ch. 767 (2024)) tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/16/g...

While health care and other costs are skyrocketing, Republicans are DOUBLING insurance premiums on working families. p.s. Regarding GOP’s new lies, “illegal” immigrants CANNOT buy insurance via the ACA. ACA eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens, nationals, and lawfully present immigrants.

Shana Tova. On this erev Rosh Hashanah, let us all be moved to greater kindness and stronger unity. Wishing all blessings and a sweet and good new year.

The president doesn’t get to silence speech with threats of administrative penalties just because he doesn’t like it. That’s not how our system is supposed to work. Corporate America needs to grow a spine and stop bending the knee.

First, they spread vaccine conspiracies to eliminate vital access. Now they want to end mental health screening for children!? These tinfoil hatters are playing political checkers in a world of chess and the endgame will have devastating impacts on public health and families.

TN deserves a governor who’ll fight a president who federalizes Guard personnel and sends them to march in our streets. Bootlicking @GovBillLee & Republicans have doubled our state budget yet failed to fund community policing progs & a TBI lab while withholding safety funding.

🚨🚨ATTENTION🚨🚨: 80,170 Nashville voters were purged from voting rolls earlier this year from 12/1/24-6/1/25. In advance of upcoming elections, please visit tnmap.tn.gov/voterlookup/ to make sure you're still registered. If you were purged, please re-register so you can make your voice heard!

Hi folks. We've seen this before during the Cold War. Check out Ch. 5 in "Threat of Dissent" to learn more. 🗃️ And, remember, in Kent v. Dulles (1958), the U.S. Supreme Court held that American citizens have a fundamental right to travel. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

Tariffs = Taxes Fact: our costs of living are rising because of failed economic policies enacted by the White House. This president promised to lower prices. Not only has he broken his promise, he has caused prices to increase substantially. #TeamJRC #tn55 #affordability

It’s no coincidence that the same people who take our republic for granted and fail to appreciate its inherent fragility are the same people who also take the generational public health benefits of pasteurization, vaccinations, antibiotics, and safe reproductive healthcare for granted.

While TN's AG files frivolous lawsuits challenging lawful elections, depriving people of rights, etc, he can't be bothered to fight for public health funding for the benefit of TN families. Nashville had to file its own suit with other cities in red states. tennesseelookout.com/2025/09/05/r...

“Walmart, Home Depot, and other major brands that say Trump's tariffs are pushing them to raise prices.” Trump is raising prices on TN families. Marsha Blackburn, John Rose, Andy Ogles, Bill Hagerty are all helping Trump make your life more expensive. www.businessinsider.com/companies-ra...

The same guy who promised major cuts to wasteful spending by the federal govt (actually spent $200B more in first 100 days than during same period last yr) is now spending 100s of millions (billion+?) to relocate U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama … just because. 💸💸💸

Our nation’s public health system is now run by anti-science tinfoil hatters. Because Bill Lee and TN Republicans have driven our state to the edge of a fiscal cliff, state resources are insufficient to pick up the slack for current public health needs and when next public health threat surfaces.
