The trade deficit in August was $36 billion larger than the Biden average.

Trump's tariffs have failed.

29 days! If you have a kid, know someone with a kid, or know someone who knows someone with a kid in college away from their voting precinct (out-of-state or in-state), PLEASE share this and ask them to share it. DON'T SIT THIS OUT! https://t.co/GDcNJwoirm

💸 The Trump-Blackburn budget law cut food assistance to pay for tax breaks that mostly benefit the rich AND increased costs on Tennessee taxpayers.

Families are getting crushed by high grocery prices and Republican Party policies are the anvil.

DEM LEADER: “This should never happen again.”

Sen. Raumesh Akbari is calling for the legislature to exercise its oversight power after death row inmate Christa Pike survived two supposedly lethal doses of pentobarbital.

Tennessee Republicans are asleep at the wheel while families are getting crushed by rising costs 👇

⛽️ 🚌 FOX NASHVILLE: “Rising diesel prices affect Tennessee public schools… could cost Rutherford County Schools an additional $250,000 to $300,000…”

The Trump tax is real.

More than 1.2 million children lost access to food aid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program between July 2025 and 2026, according to a new analysis. https://t.co/mXBFA3fDlS

[Senator Heidi Campbell @Campbell4TN]

Blackburn's been in Wash for 23 yrs, and we're
Dead last for school funding
Worst for mothers dying in birth
16 rural hospitals closed.
1 in 5 kids living in poverty.
Last year she cut health care for 68K & food aid
And THIS is her focus: ZERO instances of this happening in TN.

This contracted school bus company owner talks how the skyrocketing cost of diesel.

“It was $1,980 to fill up our buses. You max out your credit cards, and you hope to get to the next pay period.”

Making America Great Again, bankrupting one small business at a time.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

NASHVILLE: "Tennesseans deserve to know what's going on. This is our land."

As @GovBillLee & TN Republicans push a secrecy-shrouded deal to develop valuable land by Musk's tunnel, Sen. @Campbell4TN doesn't believe they don't know who the deal's with. (or Elon isn't involved)

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

MEMPHIS: “It’s not the fuckin’ law. I have a right to film! You’re violating my 1st amendment rights.”

@GovBillLee’s UN-safe Task Force violates the rights of an activist already suing them, abusing a TN “25 Feet” law + shredding the constitution.

“$3 BILLION PER MONTH” — The Trump tax is very real.

And as Americans struggle with costs, @MarshaBlackburn and the Republicans say nothing.

[Senator Heidi Campbell @Campbell4TN]

Tennessee ranked dead last AGAIN! This time it's for corporate investment transparency and lobbyist behavior. This is exactly why we are running legislation to get money out of Tennessee politics. Few TN taxpayers want outside corporate money influencing https://t.co/XUhuqKYe4V

[Tennessee Senate Democrats @TNSenateDems]

Guv, gimme a break. Trump's big ugly law cut a trillion dollars from Medicaid programs like TennCare, all to give wealthy Americans (like yourself) bigger tax breaks, and he's passing the new cost increases onto state taxpayers.

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump, for your leadership to make prescription drugs more affordable and ensure state Medicaid programs receive the lowest prices for Tennesseans who rely on them.

[Tennessee Senate Democrats @TNSenateDems]

These insurance premium increases are unsustainable for small businesses and workers. But Tennessee Republicans won’t even acknowledge health insurance costs are a real problem.
