When I read this I ask, "What worse or additional anti-human, anti-healthcare, Hippocratic Oath defying stuff has not trickled yet out into the light?" www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/u...

Rich people's passive income should have work requirements.

That pile of metal? Used to be a Kroger.

Trump: “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls…They don’t need 250 pencils, they can have 5.” Also Trump: accepts new Air Force One worth $400M from Qatari royal family.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Quite looking forward to the hot take that Joe Biden did this to Tennessee. www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/2...

@johnrogers.bsky.social LevRed S3Ep5 is a masterwork.

A Tennessee lender told legislators its new product, the Flex Loan, would help residents. In the 10 years since getting approval for it, the company has sued over 110,000 borrowers. From our @friedmanadam5.bsky.social and @propublica.org.

Americorps volunteers sent home because the program is shut down. USAID has been dismantled. All because we need to cut, cut, cut. However, we have the spare budget for this? apnews.com/article/army...

Trump has nothing but disdain for the UN. No question that he put his biggest idiot as the ambassador to the organization.

Marco Rubio is filing the stereotypical role of many Cuban Americans. He's working hard doing three or four jobs while his boss phones in one job.

There's a pattern in this administration -- stretching back to Trump's complaint that the problem with COVID was that we were testing to see who actually had it -- in which they think if we don't pay attention, it's not happening. The Lack of Object Permanence Presidency

POTUS: We're close to a trade deal with China! CHINA: nope. Not even negotiating. POTUS: We're close to a peace deal with Russia & Ukraine. Russia: huh? Ukraine: Russia just hit us with 100 bombs or drones.

CLERGY ask @RepMarkGreen @RepJohnRose @AndyOgles to hold TOWN HALLS: “If you have not planned an in-person town hall by the end of May, we’d be happy to organize a public town hall in one of our houses of worship. We hope you will listen to the concerns of our faith communities.”

When my grandchildren ask me about these times I will describe it as, "Thomas and Alito dissented." apnews.com/article/aclu...

At $36 million ($3/resident) education for people without an immigration status is a bargain. This is so wrong and against every fiber of a Christian person's being. This fiscal responsibility argument is a joke, right? Right? nashvillebanner.com/2025/04/11/t...

Pitchforks. Tick tick tick.

Tennessee is my home and the state I love but the people vote in legislators that can't see anything but stagnation as our future. Nothing new, nothing different, no effort to try policy that has proven to work in other places. www.wsmv.com/2025/04/09/b...

Thank goodness. I mean. I'm not sure much of Tennessee law enforcement would stop a white person openly carrying a bazooka, but we don't need people carrying more ways to kill people openly. The human temperature (anger) is too high. www.newschannel5.com/news/tenness...

We're in a new gilded age. After an analysis of poor people and their peers, they are still poor after an adjustment of regressive tax policy and tariffs.

I mean, we can write all kinds of things and quote all kinds of stats, but at bottom: He's insane. And ignorant. And dangerous to the pocketbook of every American and to the cohesion of our country.

That Louisiana ICE Detention Center could now form a pretty credible US university, given all of the scholars that have been sent there.

Would someone please publish an article in JD Vance's name in a school paper with the thrust of the piece supporting Hamas so he can be disappeared by secret police?

Republicans keep shoving state sovereignty and rights down my throat on everything from abortion, gun laws, education, etc. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. The Constitution gives authority over elections to the states. Period.

A great way to attract more teachers and retain more teachers in Tennessee is to pay them fairly and stop treating them like crap. www.wate.com/news/educati...

Last night in conversation we informed our child that at middle school there is no recess or playground. At least not like at elementary school. Broke his heart.

What? I hope average private citizens who are accused of fraud sue Litnick for slander so hard his mother feels it. www.businessinsider.com/howard-lutni...

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

It's like day one and I'm already over hearing talking heads conflating domestic immigration policy with national security foreign policy. They're not the same thing. You can't mix them up.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like Windows, so I took Windows App and put in your Windows so you can Windows while you Windows." www.engadget.com/computing/mi...

For all you "Not Yet A Constitutional Crisis" people: The kid at Columbia with a green card currently in secret ICE detention for thoughtcrime is a four alarm fire.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
