@JasonZacharyTN @CrackerBarrel @Target @budlight They have and they recognize you’re on the wrong side of history.

@JasonZacharyTN Perfect time to expand health care access to include mental health. Perfect time to provide more wrap around services to our public schools. Perfect time to be kind to all people regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual identity. Thanks for bringing attention to this matter.
English
Our mental health crisis was made exponentially worse by Covid lockdowns. Look at the dramatic increase in depression over the last 3 years compared to the 5 years before Covid.

@TheTNHoller @brotherjones_ @JasonZacharyTN In RuCo, black male students were 5 times more likely to be expelled for defiance and other arbitrary reasons than any other group.
Rates of 0 tolerance were proportional to demographic of the high school.

🔥WATCH: “Just because something makes somebody uncomfortable doesn’t mean we should ban it.”
Rep. @brotherjones_ turns @JasonZacharyTN’s anti-implicit bias training bill into a teachable moment, imparting important wisdom that will be utterly & completely lost on him.

@gracehillhill @MattferryTN48 I’m disappointed. I wasn’t even going to the protest. I wanted to hear from them about this crazy session.

The boys are scared!
Rutherford Chamber@rucochamber
Capitol Connection on Friday, April 14th at the Chamber has been canceled. In recent days, we have learned about a protest that was going to take place at this event, and out of an abundance of caution, we collectively made the decision to cancel the last session for this year.

@afquillen @WilliamLamberth I’ve met some of the best candidates you could ask for in TN who got NO support. Even in more purple seats. Thanks for all you do @afquillen
English
Sorry I’m late; had to put out the fire consuming my hair. Where to start? Quoting former metro TN politicians of a certain age, one who served a deep blue district? @WilliamLamberth saying “my people deserve to be heard as well?” Oh, please. Let’s talk about Rural Tennessee.

“Democrats are also culpable,” Victor Ashe said. “They haven’t been able to find good people to run.” Tennessee Republicans built their majority, he noted, by fielding candidates even in contests where they were doomed to lose.” nytimes.com/2023/04/13/us/…

@CarolBAndrews @KeelHunt I wish these experts were speaking out when they were gerrymandering these state house seats. One more cycle in the old map and i might’ve won. The R’s knew that and made HD37 more red. RuCo votes 40% Dem, but with candidates in all 5 races, we won zero seats. How is that!?

When I ran, I asked Hunt for a meeting. I met with syler, none would get involved. Cooper was the only one who supported me. It’s not a lack of good people. It’s the lack of support and the broken systems that are difficult to overcome.

@KeelHunt I tried to meet with all of these experts when I ran. Syler met with me but wouldn’t endorse and I was a PoliSci grad from MTSU! Cooper was the only one who would support me. How do great candidates get traction if the experts won’t get involved?

@TNRepParkinson I’m sorry you had to hear your name called out like this. But they’ve been showing you who they are for years.

Oh my God! This is unbelievable! I am so disappointed!
The Tennessee Holler@TheTNHoller
⚡️NEW LEAKED AUDIO: TN House Republicans infighting over #TennesseeThree votes. CEPICKY: “You gotta do what’s right even when you think it might be wrong.”🤔 Leadership says Barrett made them look racist, Cepicky says they're at "war", etc. must-listen.

The fact that Republicans are relentlessly attacking the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, over a random train derailment in Ohio, tells me ONLY one thing.
They fear Mayor Pete's political future.
He will be president one day and Republicans know it!

@ribbone9 @TheTNHoller In many states we don’t tax groceries. TENNESSEE doesn’t have an income tax so… we got to get money from somewhere…. Most often, it’s the federal government… thanks CA, CT, WA! Bc of your support, I can have lower taxes in TN!
English
REALITY: We get 40% of our budget from the federal government — one of the most federally-dependent states in the country. 🇺🇸 💰
Gov. Bill Lee@GovBillLee
Decades of smart fiscal stewardship have enabled TN to maintain a balanced budget while cutting taxes for Tennesseans. So this year, we’re cutting taxes again with a three-month grocery tax suspension.
English
@GovBillLee I’m happy the tax on food will be suspended so working families can have some reprieve. My concern exists that there are so many in our state who need support - will their aid be suspended too? What about the children in foster care sleeping in office buildings?

@DKaplanFox5DC I couldn’t even watch the video this morning. It was devastating. How can we keep watching this happen as a society?

AT 4/5/6 #Fox5DC
Following up on the death of Keenan Anderson, a D.C. teacher who died while in police custody in Los Angeles after 6 tasers were deployed on him in 42 seconds.
We walk you through what happened, hear from LAPD, his school community, and a use-of-force expert.

What does gerrymandering look like?
In U.S. House races, 1,093,808 Tennesseans (65%) voted for the Republican candidate, 581,111 (35%) for the Democrat, according to AP results.
But the GOP gets 8 out of 9 (89%) of the congressional seats.
English
@vvillgerard @NC5PhilWilliams And Rutherford county, where the last three elections saw 40% Dem turnout and 0/5 seats of House seats are winnable. Unconstitutional! Statistically, with fair voting, the Dems should be competitive in at least 2…
English
@Brandon4Tenn Wow. Just.. wow.. burning through is right! candidates are give up so much to put themselves on the ballot. With no support, no real comprehensive messaging.. I spoke with a candidate about that last night. She didn’t even get a phone call of thanks for all shes done…
English
What's the point in burning through good candidates if the electorate isn't ready?
English
I still can't stop thinking about the voter from La Vergne that was on @WPLN on election night who said she votes for democrats but voted for Bill Lee because she didn't feel it would make a difference to have someone else as governor. What in the world do you do with that?
English
@OdessaKellyTN @RepMarkGreen Text me when you’re ready. I’d love to commiserate. I’m proud of you for putting if all out there. 💜
English
Mornin Good Ppl I appreciate the love, msgs, calls, popups.
I just lost a congressional race due to White Supremacy, Gerrymandering, Racist (GOP), Undercover Racist BlueDog Dems, and Voter Suppression, not cus @repmarkgreen was better.
So I need a couple days to process ✊🏾💯
