1. BREAKING Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

Wow, what a gift to his neighbors.

Elementary school talent show today included a kid playing "Seven Nation Army" on guitar. That's what's up in District 12.

This catches something really important. The risk is less that this crew changes the regime and more that while trying to do so they cash out the whole thing. Which is one more powerful reason why resistance is patriotic.

Non-severe thunderstorms continue. Behind the black line, all good. Once that last little line comes through, any low severe threat we have will end. Seriously watch for ponding on the roadway. No hydroplaning allowed. 6:28 pm.

What have I missed? A lady gave me some coats to donate to OHS, a non-profit I have been promoting is getting some kind of award on Thursday, a newer small business in the district is struggling, a neighborhood is mad at MWS, and I haven't listened to a single committee meeting today. 🦞

Trump's comment about Rob Reiner, a beloved American, really demonstrates the rottenness of his character.

Man allegedly scams two people in their 70s out of more than $200K in Tennessee

Ventured up to Joelton for their Christmas parade! It had the vibes of the So Nashville parade w/ a rural feel. I worked with the parade organizer (Irika) a decade ago and she was inspired to start it because people were spending time on Hip Joelton complaining that they didn't have one. 🦞

Nashville councilmembers are weighing a lease and cost-sharing agreement that would allow the Tennessee Performing Arts Center to relocate to city-owned land on the East Bank. ✏️ @stelliott.bsky.social

Today, I got to see two of my favorite people - Lt. Hotz, whose commitment to help people with substance use disorder is really inspiring, and Trevor Henderson, with the UT SMART Policy Institute. Trevor puts up with all my public health questions! We were missing @bentonmcdesq.bsky.social!

ERTC is such a good program but even with the orgs who have money the barriers are steep - whether they are income-threshold related or residents needing to have all of their issues fixed before they can access assistance.

Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office. But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly. I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.

Glad several CMs could show up in person for this, and thank you to Manaen for sharing these posts (since he abandoned the BZA meeting.)

Looking forward to my BZA item tomorrow, where a gentleman who bought his property in the mid-70s for about $15k is mad that a faith community wants to build on the 20 acres next door.

Neighboring #TN05 — the district the GOP flipped by cracking Nashville — is a bit less red at Trump+18. It also features a much worse Republican candidate. From @oriana.bsky.social at @notus.com today: www.notus.org/2026-electio...

50 million people in the US don't have enough to eat while as much as 40% of food rots before being eaten. That's equivalent to 120 billion meals a year, which is more than TWICE as much food that'd be needed to feed 50 million Americans 3 times a day for an entire year.

If my husband hadn't had me working FT and paying the bills, how could he have afforded to get a "professional" degree with the combined costs of tuition and living expenses under the proposed caps?

Finished my Thanksgiving weekend helping my niece move. She's out in the world adulting and learned a very important lesson - purge before you pack. We reached peak "Just throw everything in a garbage bag and stick it in the U-Haul" levels tonight.
