A push to expand Tennessee's controversial program that gives taxpayer-funded vouchers to families to use toward private school may not pass. It's still on agendas for today and tomorrow, but its chances are looking increasingly grim, @Vivian_E_Jones and @itsmelissabrown report.

There’s a lot going on in the news this week. But this morning I’m taking a moment to look out the window with Happy. Today she turns six! Hard to believe this bright-eyed goofball came bouncing into my life almost five years ago.

In a push to curb the harms of social media on children, hundreds of parties have joined lawsuits against platforms like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram. @EvanMealins and I took a closer look as pressure mounts and experts sound the alarm amid a youth mental health crisis. (1/3)

I don't know what this signifies but it can't be good.

Can’t wait to tell my grandkids about how we all collectively agreed to continue calling it Twitter.

@NashvilleZoo Also, @_steph_amador took some incredible photos of the beebees as we watched them explore their new space (with mama close at hand). We'll update this gallery again today with more from their first day in the public eye. tennessean.com/picture-galler…

Did you know watching tiger cubs romp around at the zoo is a cure for many-a woe? I didn't — until I got a sneak peek of these three exploring their enclosure ahead of their public debut. Get yourself to the @NashvilleZoo and try it out. 🐯🫶 tennessean.com/story/news/loc…

I’ll be on @MSNBC around 10:15p (Nashville time) talking to @SRuhle about a Tennessee bill that would allow teachers to carry guns. The Senate passed it this week. It’s still awaiting a House vote. Details from me, @itsmelissabrown and @Vivian_E_Jones: tennessean.com/story/news/pol…

It's been two weeks since state Republicans vacated the Tennessee State University board. Ousted trustees tell us they were about to name a new president. @TPrice504 and I have sent dozens of emails trying to figure out what happens now — to no avail. tennessean.com/story/news/edu…

Things are getting serious. @ltgovmcnally brought “the chief negotiator” up to the Capitol: Shadow.

More than 60 Middle Tennessee teenagers signed their name to a letter calling on @GovBillLee to veto a bill that would allow teachers to be armed in the classroom. This is an incredible act of civic advocacy. tennessean.com/story/opinion/… via @Tennessean \
