But the corporations will give it back to you through stock dividends from increased profits... 🤔🙄 ...um, after CEO pay, millions $$ to lobbyists, and even if they would give dividends, how many Americans have any stock/IRA/401k? Let me tell you: not most.

With this airport law just passed by the state legislature, I sure hope the appointees made by state politicians include folks from Kentucky, because I run into people from Bowling Green and beyond every time I'm at BNA. (satire)

Who are we going to recruit to run against CM Eslick in D11 in 2027? We need a trustworthy, decent, and principled leader there, and no one has come forward yet, only an attention-seeking has-been turncoat.

Re: ban of Pride flags in government buildings… “Charlie Kirk Day” “bible in school” I guess those are not about any particular political view? Bulso and his cronies are hypocrites, and it couldn’t be more glaring than this.

Watching CBS Sunday Morning segment about the struggle to get a Desert Storm Memorial in D.C., and I'm reminded how much Gen X is just not thought about in this country.

If I were a moral and Christ-following Republican in the legislature I may want to push back on the Governor. Jesus would feed needy children. 🤷‍♀️

Morning! In Inglewood (part of D7) Gallatin at Greenland (near the fire station) is closed for the next ~8 hours. Huge tanker spill. All crews are on site (Fire, OEM, MNPD, TDEC) and the spill is contained. None of it went into the water supply.

Annual donation hit my bank this week and I didn’t recognize it. Looked it up and got a warm, fuzzy feeling when I realized it was the @tennesseelookout.com. Worth every penny. Donate today.

Long term closure would be disastrous for East Nashville and Downtown. Potentially massive safety and quality of life issue. Working to get more certainty here. www.nashvillepost.com/politics/met...

ICE spotted in Inglewood. D7 has a large immigrant population, plus ICE targets Home Depot and we have one of those. If you see ICE call Music City MigraWatch 615-933-8409.

If you're a fan of free speech, including by our comedians, here are some advertisers on the local Nexstar affiliate that you can avoid until they decide to advertise elsewhere. Reminder: this profile is not an official account.

Hey Disney - (ABC, ESPN, Hulu, etc) - glad you'll miss me. Now is the time not only for individuals, but also for advertisers/sponsors to pull out too. LFG

Thinking about the Trump/Epstein thing and just remembered that one of them was on a hot mic talking about grabbing women by the p*. If it talks like a duck…

I very much enjoyed a visit with Northern Ireland’s MP Pat Cullen yesterday at the courthouse. She is a leader for her district, and also for nurses, having led 270,000 nurses to strike for better working conditions and pay. 💪👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️Onward with our strategic relationship with this important ally! 🇮🇪🇺🇸

It was an honor to spend the morning with @emilyfor7.bsky.social and the incredible Isaac Litton Alumni Association, who’ve captured the stories of 41 alumni who gave their lives in service to the country. I helped place a wreath to commemorate their sacrifice. It’s our charge to ensure it matters.

No one out in Madison/Rivergate/Opry Mills/Dickerson. No ICE/THP. No traffic. Let's get out and support our small, local businesses tomorrow.

I believe the only state roads in Madison are Gallatin Pike (north of Briley) and OHB. And if they pull people over into parking lots/gas stations, those are private property. All other side streets are city-owned. If I'm wrong, please comment.

I just heard that ICE and THP were in Madison overnight. Working on details now. Will keep you posted.

Trump interview takeaway. He trusts his lawyers and is following their advice. Not sure why he keeps taking advice from LOSERS.
