4. The Black female candidate is a perennial candidate who has shown no ability to raise money, develop an organization, or articulate beyond MAGA talking points how she will govern. If she such a great candidate, GOP should back her when they redraw the districts. They won’t.

Support them, is a tired trope that has failed over and over again. 3. It assumes Black voters can’t sort through the issues and choose a candidate that best reflects their values and concerns. It says they’re “sheep” who will just follow along. 3/4

It’s ignorant to continue to point out that the majority Black voters of TN-9 have continued to elect a white man over a Black female Republican. 1. This is about self-determination. Black Americans have been oppressed for centuries and denied the right to vote. 1/4

There are a lot of rumors floating around about redistricting. Let’s let our Legislature do its job.

@coachbrucepearl While you’re at it, parents, please explain how cheating and breaking rules you don’t like, even in basketball, is lacking in virtue and integrity.

Dear Parents Please sit your children down and explain how Capitalism works, how we are the richest country in the world and that this is the land of opportunity. Democratic socialists like Sen Warren don't understand or believe how Gov't can assist or destroy the private sector

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@FBIDirectorKash @FBINewark That’s 4. You only need about 4 million more to legitimize the claim the 2020 election was stolen.

Today out of @FBINewark: Four individuals have been charged with illegally voting in federal elections and making false statements applying for U.S. citizenship. The individuals - all noncitizens - voted in elections including the 2020 Presidential election, 2022 midterms, and 2024 Presidential election cycles. More to come. Thank you to our investigators and partners for their great work in the case. @DAGToddBlanche

@ltgovmcnally Bold would be retiring from the Senate by standing up to Donald Trump and Marsha Blackburn and standing for fairness. You showed courage in 1986 wearing a wire to shutdown corruption and bribery. Voting not to dilute Black votes shouldn’t be nearly as hard.

2 things can be true at once. It can be true that the GOP supermajority can gerrymander the Memphis based on partisanship, as suggested by SCOTUS, and equally true that the act of doing so is racially discriminatory. I write about it in The 3AM. Read and subscribe free 1/2

@mikecarpenter46 @ldtestino 4. Parents on the board- on this point, we agree. Your suggestion of a former parent who had to leave the district because of the state of affairs would be a great choice. An administrator who is in the trenches every day would also be a worthy addition.

Rep. Mark White tells ABC24 that Gov. Lee may sign MSCS takeover bill next week, and appointments to takeover board would come shortly after from a list of 9+, he says. White and Sen. Brent Taylor declined to identify any of the proposed appointees during the interview

@memphisnick @ldtestino As I pointed out in the piece, 95%of the kids are black or brown. Their families live a very different reality than most white families in this community. Crazy, I know. It’s not about quotas it’s about voices.

@mikecarpenter46 @ldtestino 3. "The Board of Managers will be majority white" How about we just pick the best people regardless of race? Crazy, I know, but I would prefer we have the best minds in the room versus checking boxes and hitting quotas to make people feel better.

@memphisnick @ldtestino There were no “vague innuendos” simply a statement that there are differing opinions about the efficacy of charter schools, the effectiveness of TNTP and TFA, etc. What I’m pointing out is that people with influence get these appts. Nothing disparaging meant or said about them.

@mikecarpenter46 @ldtestino 2. Hyde or Poplar foundation appointment- "While not everyone supports their education improvement efforts" Please cite examples and not vague innuendos. We are fortunate they continue to support education in this city.

@memphisnick @ldtestino It has the potential to to get worse with yet another layer of bureaucracy, unanswered questions from an operational standpoint, the possibility of another fired superintendent, and the potential of appointments to the. Oars that are more political rather than policy based.

@mikecarpenter46 @ldtestino 1. Your assessment of what is to come is that we "must prepare for a new education reality, not necessarily a better one". How is it possible that it will not be better? It cannot get any worse. Our current school board and system are completely inept and a disservice to our kids

@joeygarrison Or said another way, she wants to completely dilute the power of Black voters in the largest majority minority city in America.

@AGTennessee @WilliamLamberth I’m just a dumb lay person but I didn’t read anything in the opinion re: “policy disagreements belong at the ballot box” blah blah. Also nothing about the merits of whether or not the Governor overstepped his authority. They said the plaintiffs didn’t have standing

Major victory for public safety in Memphis! 🛡️ The TN Court of Appeals has upheld a fundamental principle: policy disagreements belong at the ballot box, not in the courtroom. This ruling ensures the TN National Guard can continue its vital support of the Memphis Safe Task Force in the fight against violent crime. ➡️ Read more: tn.gov/attorneygenera…

@DavidAFrench Call me crazy but I bet as a former U.S. Attorney and FBI Director, @Comey is fully aware of what constitutes a threat to the President. And if he were going to make one, I bet he wouldn’t use seashells.
