CHATTANOOGA: Folks just went to @SenBoWatson’s church, First Presbyterian, and passed out hundreds of “Prayer Request” flyers asking they “pray for Bo to follow Jesus’ teachings and stop his cruel bill denying education to undocumented kids just because of where they were born.”

This will hit Tennessee like a ton of bricks. * Chattanooga VW * Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant * GM Spring Hill Stamping/Steel Plant * Toyota Motor Manufacturing (Jackson) All @GovBillLee, @MarshaBlackburn and the rest of @TNGOP do is clap like zoo seals while 1000s lose jobs.
For those keeping score on tariffs: -Canadian steel production in danger of immediate shutdowns -Aluminum? The U.S. needs it. No obvious alternative at present. Now risks a 50% tariff tomorrow -Auto sector? Needs both those things. TBD how production lines operate much

Wow — Trump pardoned former Tennessee Republican State Senator Kelsey, found guilty of federal campaign finance crimes. He had reported to prison 2 weeks ago. Yet another example of Republicans who pledge fealty to Trump being above the law. Context: https://t.co/9yPg4x535U

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe Stop underestimating them

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

@McFaul @GovBillLee of Tennessee claims to be a Christian (his pastor is Steve Berger, who now lives w Mike Johnson & Andy Ogles in DC) and yet Gov Lee is 100% supportive of Trump,Putin & the KGB which have a very strong presence in Nashville & Franklin TN, where Tenet Media HQ is.

Hey @RepChuck, here are 2 of the 260 constituents who showed up yesterday for what your DC staffer dismissed as the "underwhelming" weekly protests asking you to hold an in-person town hall, defend the Constitution & stand up against tyranny. No town hall in 11 years? smh 🐔🐔🐔

Trump has done more to damage the United States than any terrorist organization in the last 30 years.

Donald Trump doesn't give two fucks about norms. Neither should Democrats. We need a leader, we need coordination, we need to fight back. But most of all, we need to stop listening to consultants from 1992.

Democratic strategist David Axelrod described Rep. Al Green’s (D-Texas) outbursts at President Trump’s address to Congress as “despicable.” “I think what Al Green did was despicable. I liked Elissa…

You cannot repeal the first amendment by tweet. I know this because I watched Schoolhouse Rock.

So everyone in TN-3 is clear: @RepChuck's DC office told me Chuck wants to “work with Congress & the president to end the war” & won’t vote to send more aid to Ukraine. Also, Chuck believes that w/o that aid, Ukraine will lose the war. “That’s just reality,” office guy said. 🤷🏻♂️

Just a reminder that there’s a bill working its way through the Tennessee General Assembly right now that would make it a felony to block the sidewalk or a hallway.
Students in my course at USC last year told me that they weren’t going to vote because both sides were the same. I said, “That’s not true. Only one side will let you protest their policies.”

As Trump slashes programs for regular folks (because “wE’rE BroKe”) he is insisting on spending billions on a crypto strategic reserve which will only help enrich himself and his oligarch donors. A heist in broad daylight.

To my GOP colleagues working to combat sex trafficking – the call is coming from inside your house. Trump just facilitated the return of charged rapist and sex trafficker @Cobratate to the U.S. It's an insult to survivors everywhere and discourages victims from coming forward.
