Vermont is doing its job.

Tennessee has the funds to extend SNAP benefits through the government shutdown, while House/Senate Dems are calling for a Special Session to get it done.

Gov. Lee, however, has decided feeding folks isn’t a priority.

It’s politics over people.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Huge thank you to TN State Representative Gabby Salinas for taking time from her busy schedule to chat with the East Memphis Democratic Club about immigrant rights and her experience as a newly elected official. Stay tuned for announcements on next month’s speaker.

Per capita over the last 15 years, Tennessee has lost the most rural hospitals due to our Republican State Legislature’s refusal to expand Medicaid. The loss of 9 additional hospitals would be devastating.

Yep, and our apologies, it will be next Tuesday the 29th.

Good question. Most in Tennessee don’t make themselves available as well. We are fortunate to have State Representatives like Gabby Salinas.

A phenomenal event with phenomenal people.

Nope. The only foreign place he’s currently concerned with is his former best friend’s island.

Six months into Trump’s second term and he’s failed to actually implement any trade deals.
