As predicted, the goal is to gut public ed completely. Livability, earnability, jobs, business, & economic prosperity are highly correlated to ed opportunity. People will leave TN if we lose public ed. This is not an opinion- it's simple math. tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/14/d...

Well- the patronizing tone notwithstanding- I think there’s some serious hustle out there. My 104 yr old great grandmother used to say that no idea is impossible- she’d seen so many things that could never happen- happen. Never say never Air Whisperer🙄

@AndyOgles has not done a single thing -not one meaningful thing - to help the people of his district.
There is no question Molder is the right person to represent Tennessee’s 5th. I ran for this seat. I know this district. We can flip it. Let’s get behind Mayor Chaz Molder and make it happen.

UPDATE #TN-05 Democrat #ChazMolder raised $785,000 in the first four weeks of his campaign. That’s more than 13 times Republican Andy Ogles’ current war chest.

People are clearly eager to put an end to #PinnochiOgles lies and drama www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Thankful to Bill Frist for sharing the real science with us- this is a Republican telling us that climate change is not a hoax. 🙏🙏🙏

JOURNALISM 10t:
"If someone says it's raining & another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true."

Just bc it’s bad doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. And it has improved significantly over a short period of time.

Even if we didn’t progress beyond LLMs (though we already have)- the deepfakes and data aggregation that companies like Palantir have monetized already have given them inexorable power.

Disagree- it's irresponsible not to look at this as a huge technology disruption. Look at adoption rates thus far, and factor in the transition to agentic AI and it's a whole different game. Dismissing this as irrelevant bs is dangerous. aistatement.com

Formative development in the first five years of a child’s life is a strong positive indicator for later outcomes. So proud of my colleague Senator Charlane Oliver for her work in this space. Thank you to Raising Readers Nashville for their work and for the recognition.
