HB1307 is Gov. Bill Lee ā€˜s latest scam. Under guise of ending ASD, Lee & Co are transitioning these schools to charters, steering all funding to charter operators, in addition to eliminating charter regulations, application requirements, etc. The scams never end with these folks.

We knew what the GOP was going to do.Ā  We also know that this Atty General is going to hire dozens of new state employees whose primary qualification is that they’ll vow more loyalty to Skrmetti’s radical right political agenda than to protecting the civil rights of TN families

Happy Juneteenth, Tennessee! Today we celebrate freedom and pause to recognize how far we still must go. This is the third year that Juneteenth is being observed as a state holiday thanks to the leadership of Leader Karen Camper.

It’s July 1st, which means a new budget begins today. Not included in this years budget? A fully funded summer food program. Republicans instead chose to fund their voucher scam.

Democrats attempted to redirect budget dollars to benefit real families and once again Republicans shut it down for their privatized interests.

NINE Tennessee hospitals are at risk of closing in some of our most rural areas. This bill is DANGEROUS and will have lasting repercussions on working families.
