LOLLLLLL (also this sounds familiar #tnleg?) twitter.com/tplohetski/sta…
@piper4missouri Yeah, I mean..I just spent like $500 on summer clothes for my kids and bought some pride gear for myself. So, guess there are consequences… @Target #TNleg
A man wandering the greenway, near the homes of Tennesseans, WITH AN AR-15 is exactly the kind of culture the @TNGOP is fighting for.
Unacceptable.

Another big legislative highlight from this year is the passage of our Corporal Punishment Prohibition Bill. Because of your advocacy and support, we were able to get this one across the finish line and help protect kids with disabilities in TN! #TNLeg
Will a call to cancel a special session on guns grow? Plus, @brotherjones_ asks for an AG opinion on #tnleg spending, Belmont University gets a $1.4M TANF grant, and the state will pay handgun safety course fees Here's The Week in Politics @Tennessean: tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
We are blessed at @NC5 to have Political Analyst Pat Nolan, who is a walking Tennessee political encyclopedia.
He summed it up pretty well. 😂😂#TNPolitics #TNLeg
MAGA Republican Tennessee legislators, representing gun lobbyists and the NRA who fund them instead of Tennesseans, are begging @GovBillLee to back down from his promise to call a special session focused on protecting citizens from #GunViolence. tennessean.com/story/news/pol… #TNLeg
The fact that the Republicans in the #tnleg earmarked $2 mill to audit TSU but won’t even punish their own members who sexually harass teenaged interns tells us everything we need to know. tennesseelookout.com/2023/05/26/sto…
"The easiest way to win in elections is if you have the pen in your hand and you get to draw the lines that you are running in, basically to choose your own voters. If you can do that, that's the easiest way to win." #TNLeg #1u newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@C130GuyBNA @GovBillLee @BillLeeTN @mattmurphyshow @pamelafurr @michaelpleahy @BeaconTN @WilliamLamberth @davidplazas @MemphisFlyer @JeremyFaison4TN Speaking of costly “rebranding”
I don’t think I realized just how many times TDOT had rebranded, in relatively short time span 👀🙄🤦♀️
Like… can we get a pot hole filled before the next round??

@SmartSarahB @NC5PhilWilliams Income is all the test really measures consistently. Yrs of TCAP testing on my 3 kids and it told us zero. If I had a 3rd grader I would want to see the actual test with questions. They failed? Prove it. #showmethetest #morethanascore #tcap #tnleg
It just keeps getting worse. #TNleg has lost their minds. @GovBillLee has his kangaroo government. twitter.com/noliewithbtc/s…
Take a moment to let this sink in-the #tnleg Fiscal Review Committee voted yesterday to increase Pearson’s testing contract by $40 MILLION. Pearson is the corporation that created the disastrous TCAP test that’s caused chaos for thousands of 3rd-graders across the state. twitter.com/stockard_sam/s…
Putting this out into the universe:
Repealing the third grade retention law should be part of the TN special session especially, if we are looking at legislation to improve student mental health. #TN #TNLeg #3rdGradeRetention #teacher
We are committed to increasing the number of advocates for working families in elected office and are proud to support all three candidates. Read our full press release below ⬇ #TNLeg #1u tnaflcio.org/president-s-me…
My constituents, many of them Republicans, are Covenant parents. The “woke mob” is Middle TN mothers & children. @voices4saferTN #tnleg GOP your cowardice is showing. Don’t back down, @GovBillLee! Keep up the pressure, #Tennessee parents! wsmv.com/2023/05/24/rep…
What the fuck are we doing in this country. We are letting our children be slaughtered and it’s 100% preventable. Maybe instead of waiting in God to help us we should help ourselves. #MoreThanThoughtsAndPrayers #ItsTheGuns #EndGunViolence @MomsDemand #TNLeg twitter.com/AmerAcadPeds/s…
Fortunately, #ClayCoTN took over the EMS contract and hired back all the EMS workers that left the city. The fact still remains that situations such as this would not happen if we had easy access to healthcare and our EMS was well funded. Our gop controlled #TNLeg don’t even know… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#TNHB1 still trending. As enacted, #TNLeg prohibits healthcare providers from performing on a minor or administering to a minor a medical procedure for the purpose of enabling a minor to identify with a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex billtrack50.com/billdetail/149…
Hey Bryan. I wrote you an email asking you to listen to @GovBillLee and pass gun reform measures before the 2023 #TNLeg session ended and you ignored my email and ignored the Governor. I hope he responds (because it feels bad to be left without a response) with a NO. twitter.com/BryanRichey20/…
@BrockMartinTN So glad a man stepped in to protect us helpless women 🙄 Stay in your lane. Must you regulate everything that deals with women? Looks like the men at the #tnleg need to start taking a look in the mirror and hold their own accountable for sexual harassment and assault.
Hey Tennessee #tnleg
Indiana just changed their State logo. 👀. Look familiar? 👀
Wondering:
1. Why the uniformity of State logos?
2. Did they pay $50k for theirs too?
3. I thought State Signs were to reflect their state’s personality?
👀Thins that make u go hummm👀
If you read only one thing today, pls read @nthansen’s thread about his frustration at the comments he’s heard from the #tnleg @tnhousegop @tnsenategop re: why most refuse to do anything meaningful post the #CovenantSchool shootings. Then please retweet his orig tweet. twitter.com/nthansen/statu…
*VOTE FOR WOMEN* As I said in 2022 & now from @SheShouldRun: "Those most disproportionately affected by #gunviolence are not in the rooms where decisions are made. Making up only 14.4% of 132 seats in the #tnleg, women--particularly women of color-- are vastly underrepresented." twitter.com/knoxnews/statu…
Today marks 1 year since the #UvaldeMassacre
After that I asked @SenJohnson how #TNLeg would protect our kids b/c a matter of time before it happens here.
He said it’s not the guns.
It’s been almost 3 months since the Nashville #CovenantShooting
#ItsTheGuns
@MomsDemand
#TNLeg are talking creating laws to prevent another #covenantschoolshooting but we cannot properly assess, discuss nor advance legislation without the release of #AudreyHale’s manifesto/writings. You need that evidence if you’re plan is to make laws that affect all Tennesseans. twitter.com/newschannelnin…
@eapatton_tn @WilliamLamberth You don’t fix prob by hiring bunch of portend Teachers, via “Teach For America” either, yet here we are. 👀
You wanna problemsolve⁉️ Let’s get real about it‼️ Don’t BS w/ click bait buzz words 🙄
Educators should be educated to educate. Read that again!!
#tnedu #tnleg #RevTN
Wondering why Chattanooga media doesn’t cover #Tnleg like this? What happens there affects people living here,too. I need to know about the impact of their action instead of a wreck on Bonny Oaks. twitter.com/NC5PhilWilliam…
@Jim38072850 @BookerSparticus True Story: Whenever I hear a Republican use that sad, tired, old line… “power of the purse” …I always ask, “for who’s benefit, exactly?” #tnleg #RevTN #RNRTN
“But Tennessee's Republican supermajority, most who don't have to worry about winning general elections, have refused to consider any of those solutions.” #TNLeg #VoteThemOut twitter.com/NC5PhilWilliam…
Thank you to all the #TNLeg members who joined us at the new @LoneOaksFarm 4-H and Youth Development Center for the official grand opening today. We greatly appreciate your support!

@rachelannwegner How's this going to work next year when there are many more 3rd graders and ~50%-60% of the expected 4th graders? Sounds like a bad situation will get worse, but I guess that was the point all along. #tnleg
I am confident rural third graders will be affected by this as much as urban kids. This could be the issue that opens their parents’ eyes to the harm of voting for #tnleg incumbents. I hope some strong Democratic educators run against them. twitter.com/memphisnews/st…
This is an expected shitshow. And it's not the fault of the children. #tnleg twitter.com/rachelannwegne…
#Nashville’s relationship with vengeful MAGA Republicans in state government is a key issue in the mayoral race. The #TNLeg passed several spiteful bills to hurt Nashville this year. Here are some ways candidates say they'll deal with the toxic situation. nashvillescene.com/news/pithinthe…
Today I’m thinking of 3rd grade parents. The #tnleg 3rd grade retention policy won’t improve student, school, or district performance; it will just cause anger, frustration, and anxiety. We have better ways to set our expectations higher and offer accountability/encouragement. twitter.com/rachelannwegne…
@VoteGloriaJ @katherinebike We keep seeing the supermajority in the #tnleg pass bills that once they go into effect harm their constituents. It’s time their constituents held them accountable.
