Take a good hard look at the TN supermajority. This is how they run the statehouse. There is no respect or decorum. Only partisanship, disrespect & bullying. I’ve witnessed it firsthand and been subjected to their disrespect myself. I hope #Tennessee wakes up and votes them out!

Either @WilliamLamberth doesn’t know enough about the bill to explain it, or he doesn’t have the backbone to answer @Justinjpearson in a public gallery…or both. Either way, it shows SDE all day long. Act like an elected official or resign 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, I do not know what red states are gonna do. Who will deliver babies in your state? You are already seeing a decline in residency applications for ob-gyn spots. Here's the rub, med students get engaged and marry who they meet in their bubble. I did. /1

No One Should Be That Shocked by What’s Happening in Tennessee

I covered the statehouse for years. It’s been heading in this direction for a while.

FLASHBACK: “I’m selling lemonade, cookies, and this AK-47.” Former Nashville rep @RepMikeStewart set up shop in Nashville to show how lax Tennessee’s gun laws are. And they have only gotten looser. #HowManyMore 🇺🇸 @TNGOP @GovBillLee @CSexton25

People of Nashville, don't let @benshapiro & @johnrich & @MattWalshBlog & @SalemMediaGrp's business model frame the story of our experience. Take it back. Speak up. wpln.org/post/how-is-the-cov…

In Tennessee as of April 1, you can bring a loaded firearm to brunch without a permit but a guy could not dress up like Dolly Parton and sing Jolene without risking a misdemeanor.

Tennessee governor Bill Lee issued a statement recently about how the drag ban in Tennessee “protects children” If only he would have instead focused on laws that might have prevented the mass murder of children in his state today tennessean.com/story/news/po…

I have never posted about this, mainly for the safety of my spouse & family. But, she has asked me to share in this extremely pivotal moment. We live in TN. My spouse is an OB/GYN and every time she does an abortion to save someones life, she commits a class C felony.

A Christian Conservative who voted Republican her entire life is calling on all women to vote for Democrats. This election is about so much more than politics. #ChooseWisely #VoteBlue

If Marsha Blackburn is upset that one of Biden's Black judicial nominees got a speeding ticket in 2010—wait until she finds out Marsha Blackburn was fined thousands of dollars in 2018 for repeatedly failing to pay her property taxes or disclose $100K line of credit.

My goodness. @MarshaBlackburn is supposed to be representing the people of Tennessee. Is there anyone @CPCnashville or among her family and friends who can persuade her to stop debasing herself and disgracing her state? This is ungodly. rawstory.com/marsha-blackbur…

What do you call a system in which 41 Republican Senators, representing just 21% of the population, can stop voting rights legislation backed by 70% of Americans? How about “broken”?
