Nearly two decades of GOP control of our state has led to this.

Completely devastated by the news. Dolly Parton came from nothing and made herself into our Queen of Country. She always stayed true to her self and cared for everyone. We’ve truly lost an angel amongst men.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.

Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Davidson County District Attorney Glenn Funk said the immigration crackdowns ultimately “make Nashville a more dangerous place to live.” Victims afraid to report crimes or prosecute criminals means offenders, including violent ones-continue to perpetrate crime.

I asked for one more year. After Gulliver passed, I begged you just give me one more. You gave me nearly 3. Today, I said goodbye to Nova, my first Tennessee dog. A rescue turned shadow, sun-soaker, bed-snuggler, heart-healer. Saying good morning was my favorite. Saying goodbye was the worst. 💔
