Republicans on the House Budget Committee just revealed 45 potential tax law changes.

I reviewed them all so that you don't have to.

Here's everything you need to know:

@RutherfordTn I’m excited for locals excelling, but are there examples that can be shared that qualify him to be on an AI advisory board?

Maybe I’m naive, but I really do think there’s a lot of power in a ticket made up of pleasant happy people who don’t seem furious at huge numbers of Americans simply for existing,

So, making people wear a mask during a pandemic was government overreach, but having a woman take a pregnancy test to travel to another state is just fine????

A total of 376 law enforcement officers were at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
19 students and two educators were still shot dead.
At Covenant Christian school, there were armed staff members on the premises.
Three 9 year olds and 3 adults were still shot dead.
Today there a was shooting at a bank in Louisville. A bank with armed guards.
Four people were still shot dead and nine more, including two police officers, were injured.

AR-15s were used in each of those horrific shootings.

So tell me again how it is that “more guns” are the answer.

To all those across our state & nation who witnessed the kangaroo court yesterday I have a message:

Stay mad.

This is a horrific indictment on @tnhousegop BUT this wasn’t about one incident. This session has been full of bullets shot in our, African Americans, direction🧵(1/5)

Taking my editor hat off, and putting on my Tennessean hat. Most Thursdays this year, I do a rundown on legislative happenings. Today, the Tennessee General Assembly expelled two democratically-elected young Black men,

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor

‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’

[Emily R. West @emwest22]

What hasn't resulted in expulsion in the Tennessee House:

-Urinating on another members chair
-Pantsing a referee at a sporting event
-Being arrested while in office
-Being accused of sexual assault while coaching
-Having the FBI raid the legislative office

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

This is so, so wrong.

In the 227 year history of Tennessee, only nine people have been expelled from the General Assembly:

-6 for refusing to confer citizenship on formerly enslaved persons.
-1 for taking a $1,000 bribe to kill a bill.
-1 for gross sexual misconduct.
-1 for alleged misappropriation of federal funds.

Never has a duly elected member of the legislature been expelled for doing what we elect them to do – give voice to their constituents.

Expelling Representatives @VoteGloriaJ, @brotherjones_ & @Justinjpearson will set a dangerous precedent. It will say to members of the General Assembly that they can speak on behalf of their constituents only if what they have to say is palatable to the Speaker of the House. It will say to Tennesseans that their voices only matter when Speaker Sexton agrees.

Nothing about these proposed expulsions is normal. They are a highly irregular abuse of procedural rules meant to silence dissent.

All Tennesseans must call on @Csexton25, the @TNGOP and all members of the Tennessee General Assembly to protect democracy and withdraw these resolutions at once.

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

It’s morally insane that a week after a mass shooting took six lives in our community, House Republicans only response is to expel us for standing with our constituents to call for gun control.

What’s happening in Tennessee is a clear danger to democracy all across this nation.
