@TheTNHoller @jhollymc @GovBillLee @TNDeptofHealth We need everyone to see this who can get assistance thru United Way since Gov Lee has refused the funds to help those needing HIV services

@jimcoopertn I feel the same way. As the largest most successful non-profit that receives excellent compensation through Social Security as well as successful non-profit fundraising, it seems most inappropriate to move to a for-profit. Get other board members

I had to leave the event with VP Harris I realized today it’s a lot going on and grasstops organizing is not what I want to be doing. I’m going to go register voters with my organizers today instead, in my suit 🤣

For the second time in a year, Tennessee Republican lawmakers are trying to use a sports subsidy as leverage over a Democratic-run city. What happened in Nashville last summer and this year is a good parallel for the Justin Pearson appointment in Memphis. (1/)🧵

[David Cassidy @DPCassidyTKC]

Governor, I've been your Wilco neighbor and we have many mutual friends. Our circles of shared fellowship are strong & beautuful. And we grieve together. So even as I pray with and for you as my brother, I plead with you as a parent, and I implore you as a Pastor - and I offer you all the support I can - please partner with courageous leaders to create a safer brighter future for all Tennesseans.

[Lisa Quigley @LisaQuigleyTN]

There are no federal officials representing Nashville who support sensible guns laws. Not one.

Not @MarshaBlackburn or @BillHagertyTN or @AndyOgles or @RepMarkGreen or @RepJohnRose.

Those are “our” voices in DC. They offer prayers; but no policies that could stop the carnage.

@BeschlossDC I remember every minute of that day
& the following days.
We were glued to TV
watching funeral cortège & crying.
School was let out early on Nov.22.
Teachers were crying, everyone in shock.
Every year since then,
on Nov. 22, I remember.
That day changed America.
JFK❤️🇺🇸

@BeschlossDC In high school, we were about to change classes when the news came over the intercom. All classes suddenly extended & then early dismissal. We did not quite believe. TV all weekend. School canceled on Mon. Not til we saw pictures of Johnson taking oath did we understand

The ICWA protects Native children and needs to be upheld (esp. considering the years of our history of removing kids from their families and tribes). Tribes are sovereign nations and by seeking to overturn ICWA, they also seek to destroy that sovereignty. #ProtectICWA

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

They spent BILLIONS to take the Senate.

BILLIONS with a B.

For the love of hell, this is magnificent.

Also, Laxalt was a GENUINELY bad dude.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Three huge differences between a 50-50 and 51-49 D majority:

1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;

2) No single D Senator can hijack/block nominations; and

3) Ds can have *two* members absent and still hold votes.

[Nathaniel Rakich @baseballot]

WOW. ABC News can report that Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) is projected to win #WA03. This is the biggest upset of the 2022 election—she had only a 2% chance in our final forecast.

[Maricopa County @maricopacounty]

VOTERS: All legal votes will be counted. Your vote will count equally whether it is reported first, last, or somewhere in between. Thank you for participating.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

A Republican in Michigan who opposed women having the right to vote because he said they don’t have the “characteristics” to govern just lost to a woman.

In case you were wondering how the “red wave” is going.

Boom

This is @Annie_Wu_22 - John Fetterman's Social Media Producer and the genius who has been embarrassing Dr. Oz online this year.

She is incredible and deserves our praise.

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

Georgia is still hugely important for dems. 1. @ReverendWarnock is a massive star 2. 2024 is a harder senate map and this is a down payment. 3. It’s pretty clear an extra senate vote would have been helpful to dems over last 2 years

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

Ironic isn’t it? Mitch McConnell stealing a Supreme Court seat cost him his last chance at being Leader McConnell.

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

on a side note, I found it impressive how Pelosi totally kept her cool in talking w/ AG and everyone else. maybe more than any actor in the melodrama, she had no panic, no screaming, no outrage. just cool as a cucumber and focus on getting the job done.
