WATCH: “I want to speak particularly to the Covenant parents…”
After a chaotic #TNSpecialSession ended in tears and physical altercations with nothing accomplished @GovBillLee tried to sell it as a success, but grieving parents he invoked struck a much different tone.

Congress needs to step up and pass common-sense gun safety laws to protect our kids and educators.
Arming teachers is not the answer. Banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and ensuring extensive background checks are part of the answer.
Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America.
More than car accidents and more than cancer. We can't let that become just another statistic.
Let's ban AR-15-style firearms and other assault weapons.
The danger to your kids isn’t the rainbow crop top at target. It’s the semi automatic rifle with a high capacity magazine legally sold in the parking lot with no background check.
It's time to require universal background checks, establish a national red flag law, require safe storage of firearms, and end immunity from liability for gun manufacturers.
It's time to stand up to the gun lobby.
WATCH: “This would make child support begin at conception.”
SOUTH CAROLINA Rep. @Dr_JLJohnson says if Republicans say life begins at conception so should child support. #ForcedBirthState
That’s about as clear as it gets. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are responsible for killing Roe v. Wade. And if you vote for them, they’ll go even further.
This data from the Surgeon General’s office is fascinating. More than ever, we are understanding the importance of building deep relationships and nurturing close friendships.
"This Governor and this Lt. Governor, I'm sorry but they can go to hell. I am tired of people saying this stuff and doing nothing." @RolandForTexas reacts to statements from Gov. Greg Abbott & Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick following the TX mall shooting.
I’m thinking of my friend @Natrixdreammom today – an incredible survivor, advocate, and mother. Five years ago today, her son Akilah Dasilva was killed in the mass shooting at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee. She’s been a powerful voice for change ever since.
Key takeaway from @VanderbiltU poll: 75 House Republicans disagree with 72% of registered voters. Again. Provides vital insight into who GOP really represents on the #GunViolence issue. https://t.co/fAbq0nfyDG
JUST IN❗️@foxnews releases poll that confirms “voters would prefer focusing on specific gun control measures rather than arming citizens to reduce gun violence.” This affirms what polls across TN have reported: gun safety is a bipartisan issue. #safertn https://t.co/nhyXk6fagz
@JeremyFaison4TN @JeremyFaison4TN we - conservative Christian parents - from Covenant are demanding change. This is nonpartisan. Don’t deflect from the actual issue. Yes we can absolutely improve mental healthcare and it’s a multidimensional problem but WE NEED GUN SAFETY
Teaching should not be a life-threatening profession.
Educators should not need to be armed to feel safe in the classroom.
We must do more.
I continue to call on Congress to pass common-sense gun safety laws to protect our kids and our teachers.
