If a sitting U.S. Senator can be wrestled to the ground and arrested for asking a Cabinet member a question, no one is safe in this country. And neither is our democracy. This video should turn every American’s stomach.

We extend our love and sincere condolences to our fellow state legislators in MN who were violently attacked and their families, as well as their colleagues. Dangerously divisive political rhetoric and mis/disinformation benefits no one and threatens all. nytimes.com/live/2025/06/1…

Happy Juneteenth, Tennessee! On this day in 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. Today, 160 years later, we honor the end to slavery in the United States.

DANGEROUS HEAT DEVELOPING Yeah, I know. "It's summertime, it's supposed to be hot". But seriously, this will be the first big heatwave of the season and it will come on fast. Steamy days, muggy nights, and sudden stress on vulnerable people, pets, and AC systems. Get ready!

TN families continue to lose well-paying jobs under the Trump admin. Americans continue to lose the benefits of vital medical research. We all suffer from failed policies of an admin more focused on making money for themselves than improving the lives of working Americans.

Flashback Trump: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective”

Sir, perhaps you should tell your boys Gov. Bill Lee & Hininger. Lee Co. and CoreCivic are built on 100s of millions in govt contracts. Paid with our money. Vital medical research to benefit TN families vs. insider deals to enrich donors/pals - GOP prefers to spend on the latter.

The ELVIS Act was a bipartisan bill that Gov. Bill Lee and TN GOP love to tout, but now they’re all good with its immediate repeal. Once again, choosing fealty and prioritizing their political party over the people. newschannel5.com/news/provision…

Let’s not forget. This is still an ongoing investigation. By a GOP-controlled House ethics committee. conduct.house.gov/reports/invest…

Every red-blooded American should watch Ted Koppel’s piece on CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 that aired this morning then call your US Senator and member of Congress. The real cost of cuts to the NIH. #healthcare #TeamJRC

Republicans are adding $4 TRILLION to our debt (a tax increase on our children and their children), cutting healthcare access to 10M+ Americans and selling off precious public land. ALL to give a tax cut to a guy who just had $50M wedding in Venice. WE pay the price. THEY party.

Marsha, Ogles & Rose are cutting Medicaid for TN families: 🔘increases bureaucracy w addl paperwork 🔘slashes subsidies that help middle class families buy health coverage. 🔘threatens closure of 9 rural/suburban #TN hospitals (in add’n to the 22 that closed 2010-2021)

For those not losing Medicaid coverage, others are going to see a double digit increase in their premiums - up to a 400% increase in out of pocket expenses. This is a MASSIVE tax increase on healthcare. Thanks to Marsha, Hagerty, Ogles and Rose. #TN
