This is in Tennessee. Some Rs were against it (some, at least), but it passed. Hoping someone will sue, or whatever the procedure is. You can't make it illegal for duly elected representatives to vote against the president's policies. It's bedrock democracy.
Senator Heidi Campbell of TN reports that TN just passed a bill in committee that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump's immigration policy. Even some Rs were against it but it passed.

This sounds like a dystopian nightmare. Imagine receiving care from a nurse making less than a living wage, who doesn’t know anyone there, and often has to bring their own medical supplies from home when on assignment in a new hospital. This is what happens when you gig-ify our healthcare system

The history of Black #workers in the U.S. is deeply tied to the history of #labor. This important blog from @clasp.org reflects on how Black leaders use collective action to assert that their work has value. Read the full blog here: www.clasp.org/blog/black-l... #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2025

The Entitlement to Black Labor Often Comes at the Cost of Black Humanity
Black History Month 2025 honors “African Americans and Labor,” highlighting Black labor's role in U.S. history. Despite its value, Black workers' humanity has been undervalued.

A bad actor has infiltrated our most sensitive office and is destroying it from the inside. Who will take action?
