⏰ Gov. Bill Lee has until Jan 1 to opt Tennessee into Summer EBT. That’s $84M in federal funds to help feed 700,000 kids, at ZERO cost to the state. Why would we leave that on the table and let kids go hungry? This should be an easy yes. CALL!!!
38 County Mayors across Tennessee have signed a letter urging @GovBillLee to opt the state into Summer EBT for 2026. Governor Lee has until January 1st to make the decision— call (615)741-2001 and ask him to opt into the program!

They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice
Oz: This is the single biggest investment in rural healthcare in our history. This was a visionary move by president and congress to allocate $50 billion… There are 60 million people at least who live in rural America. They are all going to benefit.

Oh look, @RepTimBurchett just humiliated himself yet again — Jack White calls him a “low class playground bully” and “bootlick” and “coward” for sharing a fake video of him and attacking his appearance, saying “Tennessee deserves better” https://t.co/5eRBrTh7Jn

Rarely in TN do we celebrate responsible leadership. This week, a fed judge's decision to examine the charges in the Garcia case upholds due process. Fair courts are essential to justice. 🇺🇸 #DueProcess #RuleOfLaw

A federal judge this week canceled the trial of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and scheduled a hearing on whether the prosecution is being vindictive in pursuing a human smuggling case against him.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Traditional medicare part a and b , seem to be doing a better job than Medicare Advantage I’m a big believer in free markets. But sometimes companies take advantage. They capture legislators, which in turn leads to horrifically inefficient markets. When legislators don’t
Let me ask you a question. Can you cite any government program which has demonstrated even 1% of the cost efficacy in your hypothetical scenario?

And let's not forget it happened right here in Tennessee and was so bad, he apparently felt the need to flee to Florida!
Rick Scott’s hospital company ColumbiaHCA defrauded Medicare & was fined $2 BILLION. He invoked 5th amendment 75 times to avoid prison. He received $300 million retirement which he used to buy Governorship & Senate Seat. Don’t let him anywhere near health care reform.

The average net worth of a health insurance CEO is $156 million. NO ONE should be getting that rich because we need to see a doctor.

Premiums should be $0 Deductibles should be $0 Copays should be $0 Medical debt shouldn’t exist. Everyone could have guaranteed healthcare with Medicare for All if Congress started prioritizing our healthcare over insurance industry profits — and we’d save $650 billion per year.

Three-time Trump voter on his failure to fix the economy: "My kids' daycare went up. I can't afford the cost of food. Using credit cards for everyday expenses. No money left after their bills are paid. Pretty much just a whole bunch of financial mess... I'm very, very let down

I met a man this week. He and his wife are retired. Their premiums will go from $0 to $30,000. Yes, you read that right. Their plan is to go without insurance for a year until they can get on Medicare, and pray nothing catastrophic happens in the meantime. Perhaps you should get
Democrats are doubling down on their failures that caused the longest government shutdown in American history. The American people do not want government-run, socialized health care or the extended pandemic-era subsidies riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse.
