Twenty-five years ago, nearly 3,000 lives were stolen and our country changed forever.

We will never forget.

Remembering Charlie Kirk.

[Sen. Paul Bailey @PaulBaileyforTN]

Today, we honor the hardworking folks whose hands, grit, and determination built this country and still keep it moving.
I hope y’all take time to slow down, spend the day with those you love, and enjoy this beautiful Labor Day.

My heart breaks for the family of 50-year-old Brenda Watson, who was killed in the horrific crash by a dangerous foreign driver.

Here’s what we know:

*Singh is in jail on an active Homeland Security detainer

*FMCSA is investigating the carrier and the training school where the trucker, Manjit Singh, received his CDL

*Singh received his CDL from California

To Brenda Watson's loved ones, my prayers are with you. May she rest in peace.

This is exactly why @FMCSA, @DHSgov, @TheJusticeDept, and the @WHFraudTF are fighting so hard to secure our roads.

[Sen. Paul Bailey @PaulBaileyforTN]

After 40 years in trucking, I’ll say it plainly: Illegal immigrants have zero business behind the wheel of a commercial truck.

Glad these sham schools have been shut down & grateful for the commonsense leadership of @realDonaldTrump and @SecDuffy—this WILL save lives.

🚨DATA IS IN: MASSIVE TRUCKING FRAUD CRACKDOWN UNDERWAY🚨

✅ 270 training schools SHUT DOWN nationwide
✅ 110 top-offender schools hit with emergency shutdowns for granting CDLs to 5,000+ drivers who COULDN’T SPEAK ENGLISH
✅ 160+ schools CLOSED for operating with zero real trucks, driving yards, or classrooms

@USDOT, @DHSgov, @TheJusticeDept, and @WHFraudTF are JOINING FORCES to prosecute every single FRAUDSTER

We’re coming for them, whether they like it or not. @BillMelugin_ @AmericaNewsroom @FoxNews ⬇️

@timburchett put on a tremendous Round-Up in East Tennessee this past weekend. It was great to join @VoteMarsha and other conservatives from across our state as we work together to keep Tennessee strong.

BREAKING: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announces MAJOR crackdown on CDLs

- 270 truck driving schools SHUT DOWN

🚨 VP JD Vance just TORCHED the Biden regime for letting ILLEGAL TRUCKERS endanger Americans on our roads

"Trucking is too important to let it go to foreign fraudsters!"

The Trump admin shut down 270 ILLEGAL trucking schools today alone 🔥

"The Biden administration allowed American workers and American drivers to be ENDANGERED and to have their jobs stolen by FOREIGN FRAUDSTERS"

"Today is about restoring the BASIC principle that if you want to drive a big truck on America's roads, you ought to be able to speak English, you ought to be a legal resident of the United States of America, and you ought to have basic qualifications."

[Sen. Paul Bailey @PaulBaileyforTN]

Had a wonderful time joining @CSexton25 and @RepJohnRose at the annual Yellow Rose Affair luncheon.
I was especially grateful to have my beautiful mom as my date!
Thank you to the Republican Women of the Upper Cumberland for all you do to keep Tennessee strong.

Honored to be named an inaugural Friend of Farm Bureau by @TNFarmBureau. Agriculture is the backbone of Tennessee, and I'll keep fighting for our farm families.

[Sen. Paul Bailey @PaulBaileyforTN]

Glad to welcome the Truckload Carriers Association to Nashville this morning.

We had a great discussion on cargo theft, infrastructure, insurance costs, and other issues impacting the trucking industry. I'll keep working to support the folks who keep Tennessee moving.

[Sen. Paul Bailey @PaulBaileyforTN]

I knew my dear friend, former Senator Jim Tracy, for more than 30 years, and I'm grateful the Lord allowed our paths to cross.
We're sad to hear of his passing. Please join Amy and me in praying for his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

[Sen. Paul Bailey @PaulBaileyforTN]

We're blessed beyond measure to be Americans, some of the most blessed of us are called Tennesseans😅, and by the mercy and grace of our Lord and Savior, we're also citizens of an eternal Kingdom.
May God continue to bless America and shed His grace on thee.
