Comms @repjohnrose | journalist | from Memphis | opinions are mine and should be yours too


The House GOP are choosing to keep DHS shut down. They rejected a bipartisan deal for a bill they KNOW is DOA—all so ICE keep operating like a paramilitary force. The House Speaker is an embarrassment. Stuck inside of DC with the Memphis blues again, but I'll be here to fight as long as it takes.


And why did @MarshaBlackburn leave DC last night? She was trying to avoid being seen by hiding behind her escort


And just like that, while Americans were asleep, Senate Republicans were wide awake tossing the radical Democrats a political lifeline to end the government shutdown without funding ICE and our brave Border Patrol. Now they’re off to take their recess — getting off the hook from having to vote on the SAVE America Act and fully funding ICE. I’m glad TSA agents will finally get their paycheck. They should NEVER be used as political pawns again. But let me be clear: this shutdown was squarely on the Democrats. They put illegal aliens before Americans, and some Senate Republicans just ran cover for them.



I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If republicans in the senate fail to pass the SAVE America Act, Democrats will take control.



Tim Pugh of Pugh's Flowers says his business needed the Memphis Safe Task Force. He says crime "feels like it's down 100%." #TrumpinMemphis

@RepJohnRose @WhiteHouse @HouseGOP You and other Tennessee Republicans had decades to do something about Memphis. What were you thinking?


Trump is not welcome in Memphis. Join us in solidarity at the No Trump Rally. We will lift our voices and send a message to Trump, the state, and local leaders who were complicit in allowing the Unsafe Task Force to terrorize our communities for the past six months.



Trump is not welcome to Memphis, Mane! And he can take his unsafe task force with him when he leaves. We want poverty eradication and real investment in Memphis, not military occupation.
