This Saturday marks the 58th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in Memphis, TN, where his fight for equality and dignity for all was met with derision, hate, and violence. The world lost a great leader that day, but Dr. King’s message could never be silenced by a bullet. It lives on within each of us, and his struggle, our struggle, continues. Today, Memphis and Tennessee still face challenges that echo the same struggles confronted by Dr. King and his movement. Families still struggle to make ends meet, the rights of women are under constant threat, and we are entrenched in a growing foriegn war with no end in sight. The recent deployment of the National Guardtroops to Memphis, ongoing ICE raids targeting immigrant families, and police violence against peaceful demonstrators, like at Memphis’s recent No Kings Rally, all remind us that Dr. King’s fight for justice is far from over. As Governor, I will build on Dr. King's legacy, standing firmly on the side of fairness and equality: ensuring all Tennesseans have access to affordable healthcare, fighting for a living wage, defending immigrant communities from fear and persecution, and advancing policies that make our communities safer while upholding human dignity and civil rights. Dr. King taught us that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. At a time when some seek to rewrite history, it is more important than ever that we do more than remember. Honoring his legacy means committing ourselves to the work: fighting poverty, protecting our communities, uplifting marginalized voices, and holding our elected leaders accountable.

You know what to do, Tennesseans. Vote him out.
U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., doubled down on his support for President Donald Trump's continued military action in Iran at a Turning Point USA event hosted by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga chapter Thursday in Rossville. timesfreepress.com/news/2026…

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...."
Just as Christians recognize, fast, and reverently participate in the life of Christ during Holy Week, America’s institutions should reflect that same reverence. That is why I have introduced legislation to lower the US flag to half-staff on Good Friday and Holy Saturday. This would serve as a solemn reminder of Christ, who was crucified for our transgressions against a holy God. Christ is King of America, and we should honor Him accordingly.

After voting to boost the deficit, refusing to fund healthcare subsidies, refusing to call out the DOJ's decision to let child rapists go free and supporting the president's request to slash funding meant to help Americans in favor of war funding, @timburchett wants your vote.

Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤 Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc) Watch oligarchy work. nationaltoday.com/us/tx/aust…

SEN. @yarbro: “Ending TCAP testing for voucher kids is the clearest evidence yet vouchers were a BAIT & SWITCH. They’re doing it because the data shows voucher kids doing WORSE.” Even Republicans call it “disingenuous” (cc: @WilliamLamberth @GovBillLee @SenJohnson @CSexton25)

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.

He's trying to create images he'll use in his reelection campaign to claim he's all about protecting children but even after seeing unredacted images of girls being raped and tortured by Epstein predators, @timburchett refuses to call out the DOJ for refusing to prosecute them
Thanks to @RepTimBurchett for stopping by the Public Safety Complex this morning to meet with our staff and receive an update on the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. KPD is the lead agency in the TN ICAC Task Force. We appreciate Congressman Burchett's support!

While Marsha was calling in favors during Winter Storm Fern, my campaign made hundreds of calls to elderly neighbors to make sure they were safe, warm, and fed. I’m not in public service to line my own pockets or cut to the front of the line. I’m running for Governor to make sure every Tennessean can get ahead. It’s time to end Marsha’s stint as a career politician and usher in a new era for Tennessee where we put families over billionaires. Join our movement at greenforgovernor.com

Remember, Tennesseans, @timburchett voted for the BBB, which boosted our deficit by trillions
When Congress votes to increase spending, they’re voting to increase your taxes, because you’ll pay for the additional spending through inflation and debt and taxes later, if not through taxes today. I’m the only Member of the House who hasn’t voted to increase your taxes.

Republicans are about to strip voting from millions of Americans (FOR TRUMP) and they don’t even understand what they’re doing.
Sen. CORNYN: I don’t get how the SAVE Act disenfranchises. Sen. DURBIN: Happy to explain. Drivers licenses don’t work. 50% of Americans don’t have passports. Cornyn: Amend it? Durbin: When’s the last time the Senate amended a bill?

When Rep. Sam McKenzie asked how many students were already in private school before applying for Lee’s voucher scam, the answer was “don’t know, don’t care.” TN tax payers deserve to know how many wealthy families are sending their kids to private school on the tax payers dime

No second for this in the house committee after it passed 31-1 in the Tennessee Senate is insane
TODAY: After Sen. Oliver got the “Homes Not Hedge Funds Act” housing bill passed in the senate 31-1, the house version died in sub when Aftyn Behn couldn’t get a 2nd to hear it 2 Dems she ran against in TN-7 were on the committee: Dixie gave a motion. Mitchell didn’t give a 2nd.

“It passed the senate unanimously. We got thousands of emails in support, 0 against. The Ag chair acts like he’s 5, trying to slow down the process. This shouldn’t be partisan.” @brotherjones_ shreds🔥 @RepChrisTodd’s try to block a bill protecting Maury County’s Duck River

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....

Hi @RepSwalwell 👋🏽 — we can help… there are many Muslims in Nashville. And @RepOgles is too scared to face them, which is why he never has any town halls. All he has is twitter courage.
I don’t know how many Muslims are in this guy’s district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life. They are us. They are American. This tweet is NOT American.
