Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on.
This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.

House Speaker Cameron Sexton has removed Democratic Caucus members from standing committees until next session due to "disrupting processes" and "creating disorder" during the special session. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/politics/ho…

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.
It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.
The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.
The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.
In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.
The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.
I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.
That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.
I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

Anyone else find @FoxNews Gillian Turner very unlikeable?
She gives off the warmth of an ice cube🧊

@PatsyDiabetes Hantavirus is not a new thing. It already exists in southern states and Mexico! It’s treatable if caught early. It’s not like Covid!
English

This is outrageous..
Not a single person on my flight is masked up while we’re in the middle of a double pandemic (Covid + Hantavirus).
I politely informed the flight attendant that this is a super spreader event. She just shrugged and walked away. I've already filed a formal complaint with the FAA and CDC. This is reckless and cannot stand.
Masks save lives, the science is settled on that.

@PalmerLuckey This is something @USDA needs to get done. BAN JUNK MAIL! 100 million trees per year are wasted because we immediately throw junk mail in the trash which again fills up the landfills. Please @SecRollins, do something about this!

💥NEW: Maria Bartiromo: "10 presidents before President Trump all said the same thing: 'Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.'"
Ro Khanna: "And one president delivered! And that was Barack Obama!"
Maria Bartiromo: "No, that's not true ... Congressman, you're talking fantasy! Obama did NOTHING about it! ... other than send money to the Iranians!"

@TRobinsonNewEra FL Governor DeSantis and TX Governor Abbott are the BEST governors in the USA for sure. If only a few other red states would follow up and do the same!

🚨 WOW! This moment is resurfacing of Rep. Wesley Hunt pummeling leftists who say black people can't get voter ID
Pass the SAVE America Act NOW! 🇺🇸
"Sitting with me is my global entry card...driver's license...what SORCERY is this?! Am I the black Houdini?" 😭
"My military ID card, my Texas driver's license, my Texas license to carry because that's how we roll in Texas, my congressional card, and of course the good old fashioned American passport."
"How was I able to pull off the impossible and attain not one, not two, not three, but six government issue IDs?!"
"Personal responsibility in this country. I fought for this country as an Apache helicopter pilot to protect free and fair elections and having a government issued ID as a racist."
"It's American. You need to have an ID to drive a car to check into the airport. Open back account. You need an ID for basically everything to be a responsible adult in this country except for voting, apparently according to the left!" 🔥

@Neccccy Starmer MUST RESIGN! He has totally ruined the UK with all the immigrants, high taxes and unfair treatment of people of convictions

@Keir_Starmer Your HUGE MISTAKE was to let muslim immigrants in and pamper to them. They will NEVER assimilate. Their goal is to take over the country. Send them back!

We must respond to the message that voters have sent us and break with the status quo once and for all.
We must confront the big challenges the public face with real answers.
That is how we will deliver the change that people are desperate for and build a stronger and fairer country.

@Keir_Starmer You've made too much of a mess already and you won't have time to reverse it. RESIGN! Let someone who CAN take over

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities.
People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future.
I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
