.@FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP announced the expansion of the @WhiteHouse honey program with the addition of a newly installed and fully functioning beehive on the South Lawn.

Hand-crafted by a local artisan in the image of the White House, the beautiful, new hive will add two new bee colonies to the existing two colonies that already produce the signature White House honey. 🍯 🐝

Thank you ! If every state followed Tennessee’s voting laws, our elections would be well run with integrity. Thankful also for the leadership of @tnsecofstate and @MarkGoinsTN

[Marquis @Marquis8675309]

@debramaggart @BillKetron @tnsecofstate @MarkGoinsTN Your leadership, wisdom, and vision for the betterment of our state should not be forgotten. You put Tennessee ahead of the curve with Voter ID. Thank you.

[Debra Maggart @debramaggart]

Thank you to the citizens of Gallatin who worked to have their voices heard against this oversized marina project in their neighborhoods.

@deathmetalv10 @NoFilterSkin I’ve explained this often 🤮 to friends.

Tennessee has led on voter integrity with Voter ID since 2012 . @BillKetron and @debramaggart sponsored the bill. @tnsecofstate Tre Hargett
State Elections Coordinator @MarkGoinsTN have ensured the law is enforced. I’m confident my vote is protected and counts. Pass the SAVE ACT

@SumnerSevereWx I live off Saunders Ferry and my lights went out for less than 30 seconds and came back on.

I hear branches falling in my neighborhood out back and have hear a transformer blow. I’ve seen the green glow flash. Trees are covered in ice cicles. Rain has been steady

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

As America celebrates 250 years, I’m grateful to @DollyParton for lending her powerful voice to TN’s story of courage, perseverance & opportunity.

We honor the Tennesseans whose contributions shaped our country & invite all to reflect on TN’s rich heritage in the year ahead. 🇺🇸

@timburchett @RobertKennedyJr You sound like Frank. I sure do miss talking to him - he knew so much about healthy eating.

@RepFaison Excellent!

I’m a Marine, always will be. That part of me doesn’t change. But I’ll be honest, sometimes I stop and wonder if I could’ve endured what the troops of the Continental Army did in 1776.

Those men marched for miles without shoes, leaving blood in the snow. They wrapped rags around their feet and kept moving. No Gore-Tex, no medevac, no hot chow waiting at the end of the march.

They were hungry, constantly. Rations were scarce or nonexistent. Pay was late, sometimes never. Disease killed more men than British bullets. Smallpox, dysentery, typhus, sweeping through camps with no real medical care to stop it.

They slept in the open, in threadbare coats, through freezing rain and brutal winters. At places like Valley Forge, men froze at night and drilled by day. Muskets misfired in the cold. Powder went damp. Still, they trained.

They were farmers, blacksmiths, clerks, teenagers, fathers. No promise of victory. No guarantee the country they were fighting for would even exist. Just an idea, liberty, self-rule, something worth suffering for.

That was their secret weapon. Not superior arms. Not numbers. Resolve.
The willingness to endure misery without quitting.
As a Marine, I respect that on a deep level. We train hard. We suffer by design. But those men suffered because there was no other choice, and they stood anyway.

It humbles you.
It reminds you that the freedoms we inherit were paid for in blood, frostbite, hunger, and faith.

Different uniforms. Same spirit.
1776 didn’t just create a nation, it set the standard.

Happy New Year!
