What the Speaker won’t tell you: Tennessee gets ~40% of our budget from the federal government. Red states are far more dependent.

This is like claiming to be financially independent while your parents still pay your rent. 🫤💰

HAARETZ: “An Israeli official told Haaretz 'Israel will, under no circumstances, agree to end the war as part of a deal' and is determined to enter Rafah…”

Your “balanced budget” used gimmicks as well. Like y’all used up state reserves to fund a franchise tax cut and tax refunds for wealthy corporations. On top of that revenues, as of February of this year, are coming less than what was budgeted. tn.gov/finance/news/2…

HARWOOD: “Even at a moment of maximum political polarization, some causes remain powerful enough to overcome barriers of partisanship & ideology. The desire for health insurance, as the resilience of the Affordable Care Act shows, is one.” #ExpandMedicaid zeteo.com/p/obamacare-me…

Someday the TNGOP is going to learn that, while they can shut off his mic or kill all his bills because they have a gerrymandered fake supermajority, they are never going to outsmart him.

WATCH: “OUTMANNED & OUTGUNNED”

MEMPHIS Chief Davis: “We’re increasing the weapons our officers have… 300 more semi-automatic rifles… It's unfortunate, but this is what we're facing.”
