California’s socialist policies have delivered predictable results: rampant crime, fleeing businesses and crushed economic opportunity.
Meanwhile, Tennessee is booming because we put families, public safety, and prosperity first.
@spencerpratt - CA is lost but we’d love to have you in Tennessee! The American Dream is still here.
Tonight at parent night my 9th grade son’s geometry teacher said that she uploaded last year’s midterm in ChatGPT and it scored a 40%. Some of that, sure, was to let them know they need to learn to think and reason for themselves, but some of it is a reminder these are language models.

Dolly Parton’s commitment to early childhood reading has inspired millions in Tennessee. We are honoring her legacy by preserving the Imagination Library.
Today, @SenBoWatson and I announced for the state to fund 100% of the imagination library. This follows investing an additional $4.5 billion in state dollars in k-12, and $200 million in TN Accelerating Literacy and Learning Corps which has lead TN to be ranked 18th in k-12 education and 4th for reading proficiency growth!

We are deeply saddened by Dolly’s passing. As our hospital’s namesake and friend in advancing our mission to provide world-class healthcare to children and their families, we are profoundly honored to have been touched by her extraordinary compassion, bright light and generosity.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.
Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.
At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖 – at Manhattan, NY

It is Friday, and I have spent this week trying to find the words.
White. Blonde. Jew. came into the world this week, and because of you, it became a #1 New Release and a Bestseller. But what moves me most are the people who remind me why I had to write it.
This morning, I received an email I’m sharing here.
A son of a Holocaust survivor. A man whose family was murdered. A 71-year-old soul who was a former combat soldier in the IDF. And yet, his words were not only about the past. They were about the present - and the fight we are still in.
That is my why.
Because hate movements reemerge when we fail to learn from history. Because hate is here, moving in plain sight, and we have to be brave enough to see it for what it is. This book was written for those courageous enough to have the conversation. And over the past few weeks, you have helped make sure those conversations can no longer be ignored.
Jewish creatives - authors, artists, and musicians - we are not the ones at the forefront of foreign policy. But when our work hits the shelves, we are often among the first to feel the organized pressure campaigns targeting our proud Jewish voices.
No more.
Thank you for reading, thank you for sharing, and, most of all, thank you for being courageous enough to join the conversation.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Shabbat Shalom ✨

If you think the fines being sought against Meta are high, at 200 B, remember that Meta has been harming children at an industrial scale for 2 decades. They knew it, their own research showed it.
We organized 35 of their own studies here:

At 22 weeks, Jordan and Danny learned their unborn son, Benton, had gastroschisis. After 153 days in the NICU and multiple surgeries, Benton is now a thriving 10-year-old. Help kids like Benton by registering for the Pumpkin Run: pumpkinrun.org.

We’re blown away y’all. Just absolutely floored by the power and goodness of God.
Last Wednesday morning, Katie and I were pulled from Cal’s ER room into another room, joined only by the doctor and a chaplain.
Cal had a brain tumor. A large one.
Today, less than one week after all that, Cal Coleman was discharged from Le Bonheur Children’s hospital. The tumor is completely removed, the preliminary pathology report is promising for avoiding chemo (we’ll find out for sure in the coming days) and this kid is getting stronger by the minute!
We’ll hang out at Le Bonheur’s FedExFamilyHouse for an evening just to transition back to real life (pictured is our Iron Man claiming his non-hospital bed), but Cal should be sleeping in his own bed Wednesday.
Absolutely incredible. Miraculous even.
Our journey isn’t done. Still some strength, coordination and vision to fully restore - all of which is progressing. And almost assuredly gonna have a few more Memphis trips in the weeks ahead for some level of treatment at St Jude to make sure we put a definitive end to this chapter.
But wow, y’all. I won’t pretend to know the mind of God. His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. But it sure feels like God has used this to drill even deeper into our family that he is sovereign, he is able to do all things and he is so very good.
He’s got something big in store for Cal. And I’m pretty sure now I know our boy is strong enough to handle absolutely anything.
I’ll keep saying it for the rest of my life, but thank you all for the prayers for Cal and please continue them - for his sight, strength and all to fully return and for patience during the process. Also, for confirmed positive news on the pathology report and perseverance for whatever treatment it leads to.
One last thing. As I write this, another boy just a few years older than Cal is on an operating table at Le Bonheur. We got to know the family a little over the last couple days as they were in the room next to us. (Dad is a State grad, too!)
This young boy also has a brain tumor and is under the same skilled surgeon God used to help us.
Please lift him up in prayer as well, that he might be fully restored to health and God would get even more glory!!

A special thank you to the incredible Youth Choir and Puppet Ministry from Germantown Baptist Church for bringing joy and music to Le Bonheur! Our patients and families were treated to an uplifting performance filled with messages of hope.

Most American adults now support phone-free schools. Public support is bipartisan. The most frequent report I hear is that lunchrooms and hallways are loud again. From @pewresearch

We did an interview with @Mix929official and got to share about our experience at @VUMCchildren and encouraging people to donate to their toy drive for the hospital! Radio interview couldn’t be complete without talk about @Cameron7Ward and the @Titans

Through 3 days of early voting in TN, 122k+ ballots are in, under 3% of registered voters. In 2-party terms the electorate is 67% GOP / 33% Dem. GOP turnout is running 50% ahead of 2022 and 20% ahead of 2018 but the Dem share is slightly up at this point.

Mayor O'Connell and the Metro Council keep misleading you on why your property tax bill jumped. O'Connell's budget needed more revenue, so the Council voted for a rate hike that he's since branded "the lowest in Metro's history." So we built a @realpamphleteer tool that shows exactly where your increase came from.
Below is the much-publicized Acme Feed & Seed bill. Most of the jump is appraisal-driven, but the Council's rate hike alone tacked on an extra $118K.
You can try it on any property in Davidson County.
