We hope this includes the elimination of Bill Lee's Corporate Welfare Plan that gave the Tennessee Republicans' donors $600 million in tax refunds!

Sen. Ted Cruz: "One of the reasons the House has been out of session for a couple months is because they didn't have the votes to stop a Hegseth impeachment." Republicans are protecting the war criminal.

🚨 BREAKING: AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior. None of this is normal. And pretending it is, is journalistic malpractice.

Marsha Blackburn: "I want to make certain we never, ever end up with a surveillance state like you have in China." Are we already there? Tennessee is currently ranked #11 nationally for LPR use including Flock. Continued use of state grants and taxpayer money will continue to push us into the top 10, and further...

Tennessee's new map cracked Memphis into three GOP seats. On the 2024 lines, 2026's House vote would have elected 2 Democrats Old map: 7R-2D New map: 8R-1D, with Dems leading TN-4 by 280 votes and losing TN-9 by 1 pt per @DecisionDeskHQ

🚨🚨From a source close to incoming Tennessee Gov. Marsha Blackburn: "[Pete Hegseth] is not being considered [for Senate]. This is nothing more than Washington, D.C., spin from a bunch of consultants with nothing better to do. The Blackburn team is focused on the transition, not entertaining baseless speculation. Dc won't pick the next senator."

Republicans came 5 points away from losing 6 House seats in Tennessee. As it stands, despite the redraw the delegation looks likely to remain 8R-1D.

Tennessee didn't necessarily see a blue wave Tuesday, but the flip of 6 state House seats may complicate Marsha Blackburn's private school voucher expansion hopes chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2026…

How the blue wave may have complicated Marsha Blackburn’s Tennessee voucher expansion hopes

Tennessee’s latest voucher expansion narrowly passed the House, with some Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. Now, the legislature faces a new political landscape.

Tennessee Republicans, led by the outgoing and incoming governors, spent over $3M of your tax money to redraw congressional districts all to end up with the same balance of power they had previously. They do not care about you. Someone needs to DOGE @MarshaBlackburn.
