Some thoughts on the budget… It’s not working for everyday Tennessee families. This session might be coming to a close but I’ll never stop working for the betterment of all Tennesseans.
Tennessee VW workers in Chattanooga are on the cusp of making history. Their election to join the @UAW ends tonight. Workers across Tennessee are learning about their rights and standing up to take control of their future. #StandUpVW ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Picking up my 13yo from school. Her: Yall pass that dumb law yet? Me: Which one? Her: The flag one. Me: (🤭...)....Not yet. Her: is it gonna get vetoed? *awkward silence* Me:...let's just hope it doesn't pass.
FORCED BIRTH STATE: “$3 million for a maternal health pilot program to improve health outcomes for expectant mothers in a state ranked 3rd worst… Republicans will redirect that💰to anti-abortion orgs unregulated by state health standards…” tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
ANALYSIS: “In Tennessee, billion-dollar companies pay a lower effective tax rate than schoolteachers, nurses & factory workers and the budget passed yesterday will widen the disparity in tax rates between profitable corporations and working families.” tnsenatedems.medium.com/analysis-tngop…
TN is a low tax state for big corporations and a high tax state for families. The result is underfunded schools, infrastructure, and community services, And the Legislature just made it worse with another $1+ Billion corporate giveaway.

AP: “Eye-popping $1.95B tax break & refund for businesses, but little new tax relief for most TN families” Also, Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam is stalled as rural lawmakers remain “hesitant about funneling limited public dollars away from local schools.” apnews.com/article/budget…
More tomorrow but a quick update about Tennessee’s $53 billion budget: —@TNGOP blocked our efforts to reduce costs for families by expanding pre-K & cutting the grocery tax —The budget’s single largest initiative is a $1.9B handout & tax break to corporations We all voted NO.
🚨 Looks like they’re trying to send a signal… somewhere… Senate sponsors for Gov. Lee’s voucher scam 👇

Billionaire-backed special interests will use every trick in the book to pass their voucher scam and defund our neighborhood schools.

🥕 VANDY POLITICAL REVIEW: “Surely, the safety of school children should take precedence over hypothetical scenarios involving vegetables… The Republican supermajority’s disconnect from the genuine concerns of their constituents is glaringly evident.” vanderbiltpoliticalreview.com/11890/local/op…
Gov. Bill Lee’s corporate tax breaks have blown a $275 million hole in this year’s budget. Now Lee & the @TNGOP want a new $1.9 billion tax handout to property-rich corporations. When big corporations don’t pay their fair share, working & middle class families pay the price.
This is such a grift- add it to a long list- Tennesseans are getting robbed blind.

WATCH: “Teacher raises. Wrap around services. More support for our public school system.” @TNGOP rejects @SenatorLamar’s budget amendment reassigning $144 million from Gov. Bill Lee’s stalled voucher scam to students & teachers in our neighborhood public schools.

Some thoughts on the budget… It’s not working for everyday Tennessee families. This session might be coming to a close but I’ll never stop working for the betterment of all Tennesseans.
Rep. @brotherjones_ submitted this 👇🏽dissent against the $52.8 BILLION-dollar budget, saying Speaker @CSexton25 refused to call on him during the 1-hour discussion and the budget “ignored the assignment from Tennesseans”
Today is the final GIRLZ CLUB of the session! 🥹😍😭 I’ve had so much fun with this next generation of leaders: hearing their big plans and dreams for Tennessee and helping them navigate the Tennessee General Assembly. I miss it already!!!!!! 💗💗💗💗 #TNLeg #GirlzClub
🔥 @Justinjpearson: “A budget is a moral document — this $52.8 BILLION budget does not address the root causes of poverty. It is an immoral document, and I cannot support it.” Pearson spoke powerfully in opposition to the budget with a rotunda full of unmoved lobbyists outside.
Tennessee is pushing zero tolerance as the answer to dealing with threats of mass violence against schools. That approach, experts say, is not backed by research and could make communities less safe. propublica.org/article/how-sc…
Hey $7000 coupon isn’t magically going to make a $20,000 school affordable for kids with the least means. Our taxes were collected for public education, not for coupons to elite prep schools only the wealthy can afford.
If you like your public school - and many do - you can keep your public school. Those opposing school choice want to force kids into a school regardless if it’s what’s best for each student. Students with the least means have the least choice and mobility to escape failing…
BREAKING: Mercedes workers in Alabama will be voting on joining the @UAW from May 13-17. They will be the second massive plant of non-union autoworkers to vote on unionization in this historic United Auto Workers drive to organize the unorganized.
If you are a doctor or other concerned HCW in #Tennessee looking to get involved in legislative advocacy, follow @protectmycare & join our growing group of physician advocates. We are tentatively planning a legislative advocacy 101 day on the hill this summer/fall. Stay tuned!
Proud to know @KGreenMD and inspired to hear her speak about the shortcomings of the @TNGOP supermajority health policy, or lack thereof. We need common sense gun violence prevention, and we need the Medicaid expansion. It’s time to vote them out! #ThisIsOurLane

Logged back in only to find out I've been turned into a meme again 💀💀💀😂😂😂 The internet stays undefeated
WATCH: “A lot of people in Memphis have worked harder than a bunch of ugly strippers to try to get this done…” @SenBrentTaylor’s unfortunate choice of words on a hotel/motel taxes bill draws priceless (and appropriate) disdain from Senator @CharlaneOliver behind him. 🤔
TN voters, there are 74 House seats (out of 99) & 12 Senate seats (out of 16 up for re-election) where we have a Dem candidate in the race. This means that TNGOP candidates seeking re-election can be held accountable in Nov! Giving voters a choice on the ballot matters!
As I said before these republican men in the @TNGOP are underestimating how pissed off women are in our state. These are grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and every day people that aren’t career politicians that simply have had enough. They are running for change. They want a…
TN voters, women in TN are stepping up to run! Let’s all support them. @allie4tn @AlisonBforTN @AllisonGormanTN @Natrixdreammom @12Braddock @voteclairej4tn @backusfortn33 @lexifortn @AilinaCarona @TeriMai4TN @lori_lorilove20 @amandafortn
Big groups of Volkswagen workers are heading to a historic @UAW union vote together. Tons of workers tell us they're planning to vote today.
The Governor knows Unions pay fair wages, whereas he refuses to raise our $7.25 minimum wage. Instead, he gives corporations massive tax breaks so companies like his own (Lee Company) can maintain record profits at the expense of working people.
Today, I joined fellow governors in opposing the UAW's unionization campaign. We want to keep good-paying jobs & continue to grow the American auto manufacturing sector. A successful unionization drive will stop this growth in its tracks, to the detriment of American workers.
@TNSenateDems @MorePerfectUS Washing hogs is a downright noble profession compared to union busting.
Solidarity with the thousands of VW workers in Chattanooga who start voting today to join @UAW! What a moment for all workers in the South who are fighting for better lives by joining a union. We stand with you! #StandUpUAW
