Live your life so people don’t celebrate when they take your name off things

Opponents of the voucher program have often repeated that it subsidizes private school tuition for families who can already afford it. Our analysis showed that is largely true for the more than 3,000 recipients whose families make upward of $173,160.... tennessean.com/story/news/ed…

Ranked last in the nation, TN spends the least per pupil that any state on its public schools, spending $6,500 less than the national average while giving vouchers to kids in private schools. newschannel5.com/plus/openli…

Well…that might’ve been a mistake to turn the game off early.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan. All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need right now.

U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles used his taxpayer-funded franking allowance to air a campaign-style television ad featuring former President Donald Trump, as challenger Charlie Hatcher navigates a redrawn district to persuade a new voter base. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/news…

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

To the new 5th - meet Andy Ogles. Whether it be stealing money from grieving families to pay for a children's burial garden that was never built, or the fact that he's been under federal investigation his entire congressional career - Andy Ogles cannot be trusted to represent us.

Classy.

Politicians who never served putting their campaign logos on Memorial Day observations.

The deal with Iran will go down as one of the most incompetent ever made. The U.S. lost on virtually every point. We just don't win anymore!

Less direct federal subsidy of K-12 is on the horizon. States and districts will have to focus (even) more on à la carte services, including tutoring and out of school time, to squeeze what they can out of federal dollars. 2/2

Over a million Russian and Ukrainian men would still be alive today if McCain had won in 2008.

Howard Lutnick donated $5 million to a committee backing House Republicans ahead of his testimony to Congress about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein Nothing suspicious there

Will be interesting to see @foxnews try to shovel this horse balls of a deal down its viewers throats, and explain why allowing Iran to have $25 bills and control of the strait and keeping their nukes is making America great again. Good luck

Removal of Alex Haley’s novel “Roots"from school libraries was based on a single passage, citing a 2024 TN law that targets books with prohibited content "in whole or in part.” The same law, if applied consistently, would also remove the Bible. knoxnews.com/story/opinion/c…

Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

Trump skipped his son’s wedding so he could surrender to Iran and China on Memorial Day Weekend. MAGA:

🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.
