Tennessee court enjoins the deployment of National Guard troops to Memphis. It’s not about law and order when they’re not following the law.

Tennessee has three electric vehicle makers and is invested by $1 billion in a fourth. Donald Trump’s budget law repealed incentives for EV manufacturers and is killing good-paying, Tennessee jobs. Great work, @TNGOP.

🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection. The grifting is endless. https://t.co/ghhlW7yaiB

For those few remotely shocked by Marsha’s blatant corruption and self-dealing, this was published way back in 2010. You were warned - multiple times. Next she wants to have executive control over state contracts and a $60 billion+ state budget. THIS.CANNOT. HAPPEN.

In Tennessee, 1 out of 10 people do not have health coverage. Nationally, Republicans refuse to renew tax credits that make coverage affordable for 100s of thousands of our families. By Jan. 1, more than a million Tennesseans could be without health coverage. Does the GOP care?

Shameful. There should be consequences when public officials defraud taxpayers. But Donald Trump & the Republican Party believe they are above the law.

A president who revels in the sadness of the people he represents- pathetic! Also, that's a lot of open road- here's what it looks like if you're just tracking voters.

When we say the Republican Party has rigged Tennessee's economy against workers, this is what we mean: Low-income & middle class families pay a higher effective tax rate than billionaires & big corporations. Other than the rich, who supports this?! https://t.co/qzKaGmPx04

Under Tennessee's sales-tax heavy system, low-income families pay a higer proportion of their income than businesses and wealthier families.

Turns out Americans voting for change in 2024 really did want lower prices and a stronger economy. They didn’t sign up for a radical overhaul of American government.

In Tennessee, a hearing will focus on National Guard deployment to Memphis. Gun-carrying Guard members have been patrolling neighborhoods and commercial areas of Memphis since early October.
