Tennesseans should not have to go into debt simply for being sick. As your governor, I plan to use our TANF funds to eliminate medical debt for over 100k Tennesseans. An initiative I have already started in Memphis in my role on the city council. This is one way I plan to make life more affordable- day one.

I only spent 2 days in Memphis, but it was enough to see that LeBron was right - partially.
If you’re a star after the glitz, the glamor, the lipsticked pig - Memphis isn’t for you.
Memphis is real. The people are real. It’s for the hard workers. The grit and grind.

I absolutely hate big cities. Can’t stand the people and their rudeness, the quickness of life, the loudness of it - (all ironic since I work corporate). As soon as I stepped foot in Memphis, I felt welcomed. People wave at you like a small country, put their heart and soul into the food, and I never ran into a single problem.
My girlfriend (probably fiancée if I visit this city again) found everyone delightful. Even moreso than Richmond, Charlottesville, Tulsa, or Springdale. She dropped a pecan pie and was given a second one on the spot - no extra pricing.
There were so many things, in about 48 hours, that made me love this city. I’m ignorant to the inner politics, to XAI, or any of that.
But as someone who hates cities, I love Memphis. Because of this experience, I will always love Memphis.
So yeah. LeBron won’t like it cause memphians wouldn’t blow smoke up his ass - yall were asking Dillon Brooks to pass it in a food line 😂 but the players and stars who keep it real? They’ll love it just as much as I do.
Memphis is genuine and it seems to appreciate genuine.

Thank you to Rep. @AftynBehn4TN for being our featured speaker at last night’s meeting. Representative Behn might have been born in Knoxville, and represent Nashville, but after hearing her talk last night, it is abundantly clear: She stands with the people of Memphis.

We wanted to honor the passing of a true leader, Representative GA Hardaway, so we’ll be wearing bow ties at tonight’s meeting. We hope to see y’all soon.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” 2 Timothy 4:7. Our caucus is in deep mourning for the loss of Rep. G.A. Hardaway. Tennessee is a better state because of his tireless work. He will be profoundly missed.

Last week, TN Republicans passed a disastrous voucher scam expansion that steals our tax dollars and defunds our public schools. Now they’re doubling down.
We won’t back down. TN Democrats will fight like hell to protect our public schools. Call your State Rep. now.

TN Republicans passed a massive expansion of the private school voucher scam by just 52-43 votes.
These vulnerable TN State House Republicans helped defund our public schools and hand YOUR tax dollars to the wealthy few.

Proud to support my friend @JesseForTN97 in his race to flip State House District 97. Our campaign is not just focused on the gubernatorial race—we'll be working hard to support Democrats all the way down the ballot. Let's flip some seats!

Every step forward carries the courage of a woman who refused to be pushed aside. This month we honor her story and keep building on it together.

CLEMMONS: “Please be aware — They’re trying to hide this data.”
@JRClemmons calls out Republicans for killing @RepMcKenzie’s bill to require @GovBillLee to tell us how many voucher kids were already in private schools aka “WELFARE FOR THE WEALTHY”
And now they want to double it

Congress approved about $20 Billion for FEMA disaster aid in Sept 2024. Marsha Blackburn was one of only 18 Senators to vote no.
And since then, the Trump administration ended FEMA’s BRIC grants, cutting off BILLIONS used by states and cities for disaster-prevention infrastructure and relief after catastrophic events.
But glad you were able to join that zoom call. Super helpful.
Grateful to join @TennesseeEMA for their update this evening on the winter storm response. These first responders and officials are doing an incredible job for Tennessee.

Black history is Tennessee history. This month, and every month, we honor the leaders, trailblazers, and changemakers who shaped our past and inspire our future.

It was incredible to be among THOUSANDS of Memphians at the No Kings Protest. Whether it was brave souls in ruby red rural spots like the 33 patriots in Tazewell to huge crowds like the 8,000 strong in Nashville, everyone who showed up proved we have the numbers and the energy to flip this state.
I'm more convinced than ever that our state isn't red--it's a non-voting state. The math and the path are there, but only if each of us act to turn Tennessee blue.
But I'm not going to ask you to enter this fight alone. That's why I'm hosting a post-protest call (to action) on Tuesday, October 28 at 7:00 PM CST/8:00 PM EST to hear from me and organizers across the state about what each of us can do to ensure victory next fall. Register to join us at bit.ly/noqueensjustgreen. You won't want to miss this.

Coward’s breakout. Morant’s leadership. Small’s poise. 💪🏽
Memphis bounced back in style after the Miami loss — a statement win that showed heart, chemistry, and growth. 🏀
