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.

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

A dozen rural hospitals face closure after 15 years of GOP leaders refusing Medicaid expansion. Cuts from the "Big Beautiful Bill," championed by Marsha Blackburn, will make it worse. As Governor, I'll accept Medicaid expansion. It's time to stop sacrificing rural towns to score political points.
