Until we reach an endgame at the federal level with independent redistricting commissions, uncapping the house, or whatever else results in voters picking their politicians and not the other way around, we are now *obligated* to fight fire with fire.

A message to Dem consultants and staff on here from your friends in Tennessee: If any of your clients in blue states are on the fence about partisan redistricting, PLEASE push them to get aggressive. Do it for Memphis. Do it for Nashville. Do it for red state Dems everywhere.

Cracking Memphis/Shelby County in this way might actually be enough to run afoul of a narrower VRA. But this would be one way to find the limit. Tennessee's primary isn't until Aug. 6, though its candidate filing deadline already passed in March.

I urge our state legislature to reconvene to redistrict another Republican seat in Memphis. It's essential to cement @realDonaldTrump’s agenda and the Golden Age of America. I've vowed to keep Tennessee a red state, and as Governor, I'll do everything I can to make this map a reality.

Am I the only one who remembers a year ago when a bunch of teenagers said we had to cut the funding to like Sesame Street and AIDS prevention because we were on the verge of financial collapse? Did we all just imagine that?

Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.

Gerrymandering is undemocratic and evil. And it's essential the party that has repeatedly tried to ban it keeps doing it until the party that historically abused it gets curb stomped so badly they cry uncle and agree to the ban. These are not contradictory positions to hold.

The whining from Republicans here is just preposterous. Democrats remain willing to prohibit gerrymandering nationally. Republicans thought they were better off fighting this battle state-by-state and are sore that that wasn't true.

Trump II might actually be the most corrupt presidential administration in American history. Basically every major White House announcement is now preceded by insider trading. They're shameless crooks.
Bark@barkmeta

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

Republicans offer no real plan to improve people’s lives. Tennesseans deserve leaders who actually look out for them. This November, Democrats will deliver.

lots of dem staff think successful comms is "nobody yells at you" but successful comms is "the right people yell at you" the only world where nobody yells at you is where nobody cares about what you're saying
Parker Butler@parkerpbutler

One reason Democrats struggle to break through is many teams are designed to avoid risk at ALL costs. The result is bland messaging that doesn’t compete for today’s most valuable commodity: attention. The best thing folks on 2026 campaigns can do right now is change this
