Tennessee faces a maternal health crisis, and on Day One, I will sign an executive order declaring it. I've worked on this issue in Memphis, and I'm ready to take our fight statewide for more healthy moms and healthy babies.

The core premise of the national parks is to preserve fragile ecosystems and provide wildlife protection from industrial exploitation . Why the MLB thinks this is a good idea is beyond audacious . www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

MLB, White House discuss playing game at national park
The White House said in a statement that MLB asked the administration about hosting a game at a national park, adding that the National Park Service has not granted a permit to do so.

Marsha Blackburn is on the run again.
 And she’s running from standing on a debate stage with me.
 I’m not hiding. I talk to Tennesseans every day because if you can’t take the questions, you don’t have the answers. I’ll be in her backyard on Wednesday—answering to voters without or without her.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

I don’t need Marsha Blackburn to give me a platform—Tennessee voters gave me one with nearly 70% of the vote, while she only got 43% among her own party. She refuses to debate because she has no plans for Tennesseans. This is a job interview. It just looks like I’m the only candidate showing up.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Fox News says James Talarico is counterprogramming the GOP convention with Texas food drives focused on affordability. Good. While Republicans gather in Dallas, more than 20,000 pounds of groceries went to Texans who need them. That’s a message people can feel #momsky#sheshed

ok I had to force down a tear with this one reskeeting with alt text
Image of a page in a book with text reading as follows


THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO:

Dr. John Sharpe of London, who in 1957. a decade before physicians in England could legally perform an abortion for any reason other than the health of the woman, took the considerable risk of referring for an abortion a twenty-two-year-old American on her way to India.

Knowing only that she had broken an engagement at home to seek an unknown fate, he said, "You must promise me two things. First, you will not tell anyone my name. Second, you will do what you want to do with your life."

Dear Dr. Sharpe, I believe you, who knew the law was unjust, would not mind if I say this so long after your death:

I've done the best I could with my life.

This book is for you.

If we do not slam the brakes on producing electricity with coal & gas, and burning oil to move around temperatures will continue to rise and climate chaos will spread. Since Aug 7 every day has been a new record above preindustrial. Aug will now become the hottest Aug ever and 2026 the hottest year
Pictured are the two largest sources of emissions globally:

1. Electricity production (with coal & gas)
2. Transportation
