We hope this includes the elimination of Bill Lee's Corporate Welfare Plan that gave the Tennessee Republicans' donors $600 million in tax refunds!
Republican Gov.-elect Marsha Blackburn’s proposed “Tennessee-style DOGE” is sparking debate among state senators about how the government can work more efficiently while reducing the cost of providing key services. #tnpolitics pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/poli…

Finishing under 50% of the vote doesn't give her a mandate for her administration. That under performance is not going to be popular with the Republican state legislators.
#Tennessee screwed up again. This state’s hypnotic infatuation with this airheaded fascist is mystifying and infuriating. But I take solace in the fact that #MarshaBlackburn’s win was much narrower than expected. This state is purpling, and even one misstep could tip it blue.

Living in the State of Bill Lee, it doesn't surprise us that they want to eliminate property taxes for this hedge funds as they rip away Tennesseans' ability to afford home ownership!
Hopefully we all understand that when Marsha Blackburn talks about a constitutional amendment to ban a state property tax, this she what she is talking about.

Something is terribly wrong here!

Remember, we live in the State of Bill Lee that can afford to give his business cronies-and himself-a $600m tax rebate but can't afford to eliminate the sales tax on groceries for everyday Tennesseans living paycheck to paycheck!
Pay attention to this folks! Living in the State of Bill Lee, watch the Republican Majority pay lip service to this much need legislation and attempt once again to run out this session's timeclock without action....

About Damn Time!
The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill to make it illegal for corporate investors that own 100 or more single-family homes to buy houses in the state's largest counties. Nashville Democrat's Charlane Oliver’s “Homes not Hedge Funds Act” passed with only one no vote.

....🤔🤔🤔...still thinking, but we think it is Marsha that has been tired for years.
Here she is again doing absolutely nothing for Tennesseans and using all her time to suck up to her only constituent.

We have been tired of Marsha for years..🤔🤔🤔...or is that Marsha has been tired for years?
WATCH: “Marsha Blackburn is consistently named one of the most corrupt politicians in the country. I think people are sick of it.” Democratic candidate for governor @Jerri_M_Green tells @Kanew even many Republicans in Tennessee are tired of @MarshaBlackburn

And let's not forget it happened right here in Tennessee and was so bad, he apparently felt the need to flee to Florida!
Rick Scott’s hospital company ColumbiaHCA defrauded Medicare & was fined $2 BILLION. He invoked 5th amendment 75 times to avoid prison. He received $300 million retirement which he used to buy Governorship & Senate Seat. Don’t let him anywhere near health care reform.

What do our U.S. Senators Blackburn and Hagerty have to say about about this after the way they go to Ft. Campbell and draped themselves with support for our troops? FYI: Do you know that the majority of our enlisted military rely on SNAP and ACA benefits?
This is absolutely disgusting. Elon and his crew of bros destroyed hundreds of veteran owned businesses. Two-thirds of the contracts DOGE canceled at the @DeptVetAffairs this year were with veteran-owned businesses. Some of those contracts were helping the VA register cancer patients or provide health care support to veterans. @SecVetAffairs was gleeful when he announced the cuts. politico.com/news/2025/11/22…

We would not be surprised at all if the majority of zero premium enrollees did not know they were enrolled.
Can someone explain to me why @SECPaulSAtkins and @DOJ have not gone after the insurance companies that didn't check if zero premium enrollees actually knew they had been enrolled ? Why haven't they disclosed that this fraud is a material risk to current and future earnings? That the 35b in aggregate premium tax credits could and should be repaid to taxpayers ? Are there any short sellers talking about this ? They usually do more diligence than anyone. Health insurers ask GOP to fix their fraud problem — and extend Obamacare subsidies politi.co/3KEQVNA via @politico

Hopefully everyone can see that Marsha had never offered a solution to the problem. All she has done during her time in Washington is to blame others.
Republicans have the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. Stop complaining.

🤞🤞🤞with the recent flip of Nashville Christian @Jaredcurtis37 to @VandyFootball will continue what @Coach_Lea has started!

Nice to see Tennessee finally getting some attention. Just hate the fact that it took the likes of Andy Ogles to make it happen.....but we will still take it!
The DCCC this morning announced an expansion of its offensive priorities, adding CA-48, FL-15, NC-03, NC-11, and TX-35.

Which taxes exactly did Hagerty lower? Tennesseans are still paying 10% sales taxes on our groceries. With Trump's higher inflation induced prices, we are paying even more sales tax now.
Senator Bill Hagerty lowered taxes for hardworking Americans. Tipped Workers Overtime Workers The Vast Majority of Seniors on Social Security 💪 Hardworking American families keep more of what you earn. Thank @SenatorHagerty for backing Working Families Tax Cuts!

Imagine what this would do for our Tennessee Farmers who have been slammed once again by Trump's tariffs.

And on top of that, the Business/Billionaire Friendly Tennessee Republicans who control the Legislature won't support eliminating sales tax on groceries. WTF????

As Governor, what would Marsha Blackburn do to fix our barely living from paycheck to paycheck problems? Hell, what has Bill Lee's done? Wait, he gave our tax dollars to his crony Republican Tennessee Businesses.....that includes The Lee Company!
7 in 10 Americans say they are spending more money on groceries now compared to last year. 6 in 10 say they are spending more on utilities. Roughly 4 in 10 say they are spending more on health care, housing, and gasoline than last year. 👉🏻 abcnews.go.com/Politics/majo…
