Not only is it free money, it’s your money. Tennesseans pay federal tax money in and @GovBillLee and the @TNGOP reject bringing your money back to our state to fund projects for the public good
That’s not fiscal conservatism, it’s financial negligence
8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.
You are using images of only 3 days ago…yesterday Ashville was not under water and aid is flowing quicker than in any mission I’ve ever seen….come and join and help instead of selling stories that are not accurate…
Remember when conservatives said Superstorm Sandy was punishment for New Yorkers support of LGBTQ rights?
And when Trump threatened to withhold federal aid for wildfires to punish Californians?
Grateful President Biden acted swiftly to provide emergency funding in...
Florida
Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
Alabama
Tennessee
To help these people put their lives back together in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene's devastation. 🙏🏽
The internet is already boiling with misinformation about what the State of North Carolina and the feds are doing for Hurricane Helene response.

.@RepTimBurchett (and others) voting not to fund the government and shut it down then turning around 2 days later and acting impatient about federal aid is really next-level cognitive dissonance
ICYMI — @timburchett voted not to fund the government and shut it down… then 2 days later joined Gov. Lee in requesting federal aid (later than other states) and acted like the White House was the holdup.
Tim probably hopes nobody connects those dots. But they connect.
GOD Bless US Coast Guards.
They risk their lives every day.
Here's the moment when @USCG rescued the Man and his Dog.
During #HurricaneHelene, his sailboat ⛵️ became disabled.

For this story, @iamstevenhale combed through personnel files and MNPD internal investigations to find that only two of the 13 officers implicated in the lawsuit received punishment.
Great reporting by Hale
the craziest thing about this election is that we have a very good economy -- the best in the world -- and so many people feel/act/pretend that it's bad
“When your voices are not being heard, and you have this representative (Ogles) who is unethical both in lies and in failing to bring any solutions for the district, I thought, 'I gotta run now.'"
Thank you to @tnnaterau@axios for highlighting this race. #MaryamForCongress #ThisIsOurFight

Today, @GOPoversight was kind enough to invite two of the authors of Project 2025 - and former members of Trump's cabinet - to answer some questions.
I asked one of them about their unsubstantiated claims about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
