@newschannelnine Funny how, when you take care of people and do what you say in your campaign, people appreciate that.

Democratic House candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries in Big Apple districts on Tuesday, ousting incumbent congressmen: bit.ly/4voLeoY

@Autigerz22 @VinnysCorner1 He was mine as well. Loved that team.

@TimesFreePress I asked my congressman and senator for an explanation of a valid reason to do this now. No response from either Vital or Gardenhire. Not surprising at all, sadly.

Republicans, who hold supermajority voting power that guaranteed passage of the redistricting plan, largely remained silent with the exception of the measure's sponsors, who were tasked with introducing the bill. timesfreepress.com/news/2026/may/…

@typocatCAv2 So they (he) just changed the terms of service after the deposits were already sent. I'm not even a lawyer, and I can see that is a blatant violation of the original contract.

🔥🔥 The Trump Phone Nearly 600,000 customers who paid deposits for the Trump Mobile T1 smartphone ($499 plus $100 deposit) are still waiting for a device that has yet to materialize almost a year after launch, fueling mounting backlash among supporters of Trump and... 1/6

@TimesFreePress No matter what you think, you have to prepare for the worst possible outcome. Because *gestures at everything*. The complacency and always having to react is what is losing the fight. Don't ever trust the goons on the courts to do the right thing.

U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Mobile, said at a Montgomery town hall Thursday evening that he did not expect the U.S. Supreme Court to lift an injunction barring Alabama from changing district lines before 2030. timesfreepress.com/news/2026/may/…

@newschannelnine Don't anyone forget that the Ds introduced a bill that would mags gerrymandering illegal anywhere and lines would be drawn by an independent commission. Rs blocked it. Obviously they can't win on policy.

"THE PEOPLE DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS:" Tensions were high Tuesday as state lawmakers argued over new congressional maps during the first day of a special session focused on redistricting: newschannel9.com/news/local/ten…

@newschannelnine What they are doing violates the state constitution. They are just embracing their racism now. If they want to change the maps in the middle of a decade, they should hold a special election like other states did, and let the people decide.

NEW: A controversial effort to redraw Tennessee’s congressional map is now taking shape through a series of bills moving through a special legislative session. Lawmakers are considering redistricting & how elections would be carried out if new maps are approved: bit.ly/4upSv6W

@newschannelnine If they can't win on policy, what other options do they have to keep control? Will be funny when they lose 2 or 3 of those pink districts because turnout is going to be so massive this fall.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Tennessee lawmakers are set to return to the Capitol tomorrow as Governor Bill Lee calls a special session to revisit the state’s congressional map. The move is already drawing strong reactions from both sides of the aisle: bit.ly/4teQw4z

@newschannelnine I believe it's intentional. Keep the people uneducated or under educated and they are easier to manipulate and fool.

"TENNESSEE CAN DO BETTTER:" Tennessee ranks last in the nation for per-student public school spending, according to a new National Education Association report released after lawmakers approved an expansion of the state’s private school voucher program. READ: bit.ly/3QGvlLe

@newschannelnine How excited she must be to be able to put her racism on full display and not have to hide it anymore.

NEW: Senator Marsha Blackburn has called on the Tennessee Legislature to reconvene to redraw the congressional districts. This comes amid Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling limiting the scope of a key Voting Rights Act provision that prohibits racial discrimination in voting: newschannel9.com/news/local/sen…

@newschannelnine Not another nickel until they get proper authorization from Congress and provide a coherent exit strategy.

$25 BILLION & CLIMBING: That's how much money the U.S. has spent on the war in Iran, Pentagon officials testified on Wednesday. They're asking for an increase in the budget. MORE: bit.ly/3QS0NGi

@newschannelnine One might say he asked for assistance much too late. Actually he should have involved them in the planning of the entire thing, as the NATO by-laws clearly state. Then he would have been told not to start this stupid war.

DEVELOPING: President Donald Trump criticized NATO, saying the alliance offered assistance much too late amid the ongoing crisis over the Strait of Hormuz. More: bit.ly/4dPI2gi

@newschannelnine Funny how all the commentators attack MTG or WTVC and not one will condemn the blasphemous actions of the president. Always a deflection. Never accountability.

NEW: Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia criticized President Donald Trump during an interview with CNN Monday night, commenting on an AI photo posted to TRUTH Social that appeared to depict him as a Jesus-like figure: newschannel9.com/news/local/for…

@kneerecon @Lipscos Don't forget that the new supreme leader just watched his entire family be killed, Including his wife and son. This is how hard liners are created.

@Lipscos Jess, Iran’s military has been significantly weakened but not destroyed. They’re still firing missiles and drones at Israel. Their supreme leader has been replaced by his son who’s a bigger hard liner.

1 I don’t get it. The Strait of Hormuz is what’s got Trump crying uncle. Maybe Iran doesn’t hold all the cards like he boasted we to Zelenskyy, but they’re holding the best card, the waterway to 20% of the world’s oil supply. Now we’re hearing that Trump didn’t realize this

My new question when I call or message my representatives @MarshaBlackburn , @SenatorHagerty , and @RepChuck is simply, "What are you afraid of?"

@TimesFreePress And they want to cry about indoctrination by the left that they could never show a single case of. Now they want our students to be subjected to this kind of vitriol. Give me a break.

Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, reaffirmed the December announcement that the state is partnering with Turning Point USA to put affiliate clubs of the organization in every high school in Tennessee. timesfreepress.com/news/2026/apr/…

@newschannelnine I never thought I would she with her on anything. But it doesn't make up for the fact that this is all partially her fault. She enabled, promoted, and even copied his behavior.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Former Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked after President Donald Trump said an entire civilization would die. READ MORE: bit.ly/48wvfM2

@TimesFreePress Here's a thought ... stop bombing the oil producing counties in veiled attempts to claim their oil for yourself!

Hoping to ease some pain for consumers, President Donald Trump and other heads of state have been pulling on various levers, launching more oil on the market in a bid to calm the chaos. timesfreepress.com/news/2026/apr/…

@ArcadeVodka @Leafslatest @Sportsnet I agree. I'm an idiot. Got my schedule mixed up and didn't realize the game was tonight. 🙄

Easton Cowan sticks up for William Nylander 💪👏 Via @Sportsnet #leafsforever

@TimesFreePress Are there no lawyers close enough to him to let him know those are war crimes? He and his enablers will all be put on trial by an international court. He can't buy them all off.

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened widespread destruction of Iran’s energy resources and other vital infrastructure, including desalination plants that supply drinking water, if a deal to end the war is not reached “shortly.” timesfreepress.com/news/2026/mar/…
