On Tuesday, we honored the memory of Representative GA Hardaway the best way we knew how, with 25 of us sporting his trademark “bow tie.” He may be gone, but he most certainly will not be forgotten.

Let’s come together to remember one of Memphis’ most progressive leaders.

Thank you to Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social for being our featured speaker at last night’s meeting. Representative Behn might have been born in Knoxville, and represent Nashville, but after hearing her talk last night, it is abundantly clear: She stands with the people of Memphis.

Long before she was an elected official, I had the pleasure of knowing @aftynbehn.bsky.social as a fellow activist. She fought as hard for a better State, a better nation, and a better country just as hard then as she does now. Rep., thanks for visiting @eastmemphisdems.bsky.social.

Rain ain’t stopping us from getting to the polls! Polls are officially closed for today, but we’re right back at it this Monday! I encourage everyone to get out to vote and vote *early*! There was no line at Second Baptist, so it took us maybe five minutes to get the job done.

This was a 31 point swing in a district Trump won by 17 points. In related news, no Democrat in Shelby County has pulled a petition to run in: TN House 95: Vaughn (mostly Collierville) TN House 99: Leatherwood (mostly Millington) TN Senate 31: Taylor (Eastern Shelby) It’s time for folks to step up.

Vermont is doing its job. Tennessee has the funds to extend SNAP benefits through the government shutdown, while House/Senate Dems are calling for a Special Session to get it done. Gov. Lee, however, has decided feeding folks isn’t a priority. It’s politics over people.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Per capita over the last 15 years, Tennessee has lost the most rural hospitals due to our Republican State Legislature’s refusal to expand Medicaid. The loss of 9 additional hospitals would be devastating.
