Yall- there are clearly no “get three bids” procurement rules in this administration and they’re getting shit done fast. Take note incoming dems. Just. Ram. It. (Jobs, Infranstructure, Housing, Anti-monopoly rulings) Thru.
The Trump administration just spent $560,000 taxpayer dollars to buy new ICE trucks styled to look like Trump’s private jet for a social media “hype video.”
After cutting funding for child cancer research.
Straight-up Blackmail.
When politicians like @SenJohnson lie about pushing the billionaire-backed Voucher Scam because they care about disadvantaged kids, remember how they vindictively screwed-over flood victims.
Pure evil.
Okay this is absolutely a betrayal of America. I don’t care what upside world yall have created but stop it right now. Do not cause the peaceful to become violent to defend this country’s principles.
Guess who has had two school shootings in his district in the last two years? Guess who hasn’t visited either school? We are in the “screw you” era of government.
Yesterday Trump said “we don’t have manufacturing but we have oil & gas” and he wants to “drill baby drill” 625 million acres. Today Los Angeles is burning down, after months of drought.
This makes me sad. In 1971 the Shah of Iran threw the “most expensive party.” It was an extreme show of wealth. It was the making of revolution, & inspired extreme anger against that amount of wealth only for the few. I would not wish revolution upon anyone. Yes.
Donations to Biden's inaugural fund in 2021:

Tim Cook = $1,000,000
Sam Altman = $1,000,000
Google = $1,000,000
Amazon = $1,000,000
The oligarchy is here.
“Ogles refused to cooperate with the federal review of his finances, according to a new report”
Is this the new way of governing? Just ignoring laws meant to keep our democracy in tact?

Congratulations to Tennessee’s Fifth District 2024 Congressional App Challenge winner, Shashank Lahoti, and his incredible app, “RideWise.”
This app provides parents peace of mind when their kids are on their way to school by offering live bus tracking, allowing them to see the bus’s location and whether their child is on board in real time.
Lahoti’s remarkable achievements exemplify the culture of excellence upon which America was founded. TN-05’s students are among the brightest in the nation, and I am honored to represent them.
.@GIFFORDS_org says 400,000 children have experienced gun violence in schools since 1999. There’s a tipping point that will force action. It’s going to take all of us, whenever it finally does happen. And it will. Don’t give up.
To everyone messaging, to the server that started crying and pulled those tears from me and my sister this am, to incredible testimonies of hope, inspiration, and belief in me and yourselves through me: I love every single word. Words are my love language and I’m reading all and savoring every bit.
What I want to say is about us and our race: I feel super clear. We ran so hard, and in the best way possible, with little funds and so much skepticism all around…but it didn’t matter to me, just like the outcome doesn’t determine whether we are winners, because of YOU. Your heart pumping, feeling, loving, sharing, putting yourself out there…that’s what fuels me. I do truly love this state and this district. I believe in real leadership. I believe in doing better. I believe in waking up gritty and moving forward. I’m here. Life has tested me so I’m alright. And I ran the race I wanted with the team and volunteers and community I love. I’m so very proud.
It’s time to get tougher and grittier than ever while holding our hearts as our Northstar. I’m here for it.

In Nashville, photojournalist John Partipilo caught up Democratic congressional candidates Maryam Abolfazli and Megan Barry working polls. Abolfazli is running in District 5; Barry in District 7.
Y’all- What we have created is unbelievable. It’s everywhere we go, in the tears, in the hugs, in the calls, in the knocks, in the honks, the thumbs up, but mostly in the sense that we are, as humans, connected and that thread is thick and resilient. Get out and vote today! Love you!
