My heart is heavy as we remember the students and staff who were shot and killed at The Covenant School one year ago in Nashville. We failed our children that day and TN leaders fail them each day they don't act. I’ll never stop fighting for the safer future our kids deserve.
Amazon and Space X are fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional. This means the two richest men on earth want to dismantle the agency that holds them accountable for union busting. Nothing terrifies them more than worker power.
Do you know what the 22 countries ranked ahead of the U.S. in happiness all have in common? Universal healthcare. Turns out people are happier when they don’t have to choose between food and seeing a doctor.
Today my Republican colleagues voted to limit worker lawsuits and protect businesses engaged in wage theft. Corporate lobbyists threatened us with “negative scores” if we voted against the bill. The Speaker silenced me for calling them out for screwing over working Tennesseans.
Call me crazy but if you have incited an armed mob, echoed the rhetoric of mass shooters and Hitler himself, and praised Nazis, you don’t get to use the word ‘bloodbath’ and then scream ‘but context!’
My Republican colleagues passed a bill recognizing “Christian Heritage Month.” But when folks were thirsty, they banned giving them water in voting lines. When folks were hungry, they cut their food benefits. When folks were a stranger, they built a wall and put up razor wire.
Today, these Republican members presented a bill recognizing “Christian Heritage Month.” The Speaker refused to call on me to share concerns about the obvious Christian nationalism and legacy of cross burnings, colonialism, and enslavement perpetuated under that same ideology.
When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer and the gains don’t trickle down. When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands and the economy grows. It’s that simple.
Today I was at a migrant camp in Reynosa, Mexico bearing witness to the crisis of humanity occurring at our border. There is no invasion. There are just people who have risked everything seeking a better life and a broken system failing too many. Asylum seekers deserve better.
The late Coretta Scott King. She was an author, activist, civil rights leader and the wife of Martin Luther King Jr. She wasn’t just the wife of an American hero, she was an icon in her own right. #WomenHistoryMonth A THREAD!
If your lawmaker is pushing for school vouchers, they are paid off by the school choice lobby. No question. Every time.
Today on the Tennessee House floor two white members had to be physically pulled apart for trying to fight. The Republican Leader called it “spirited debate” and called me a “snowflake” for calling for a censure vote. But last year, we were EXPELLED for speaking out of turn.
Speaking of people who give you hope..
Speaking of people who give you hope..
My Republican colleagues’ agenda of division and hate has turned the Tennessee Capitol into a battleground against authoritarianism. Everyday they attack the humanity of our communities and silence any voice that dares to dissent. This is a frontline in our fight for democracy.
GE boasted $7 billion in profit in 2023. So it must have paid a lot in federal taxes, right? If you guessed $1, you’d still be high. In fact, GE got a *refund* of $423 million. This is what I mean when I say the tax system is rigged for the rich.
Last night Speaker Sexton silenced me for calling out an anti-immigrant resolution. Their rhetoric honoring Texas’ immoral border policies and attacking migrants mirrors the neo-Nazis who marched in Nashville. The Tennessee House is rolling out the welcome mat for hate groups.
Amazon and Space X are fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional. This means the two richest men on earth want to dismantle the agency that holds them accountable for union busting.
Ahmaud, You should be here. I’m still praying for your family and committed to working toward a nation and world where Black men aren’t hunted and gunned down for being Black. #AhmaudArbery
Today Speaker Sexton placed troopers outside his press conference, blocking me and the public from watching his briefing about the session. I have stayed to listen to his weekly comments to be informed of his deceptive narratives. He continues to prove he is drunk with power.
My Republican colleagues claim not to support neo-Nazis, but the truth is neo-Nazis support them. White supremacy is not a fringe of their party, it’s the center, promoting racism and division. If they want to condemn neo-Nazis they do not need a resolution, they need a mirror.

Tennessee’s abortion ban has no exceptions if you have been raped. No exceptions if you’re the victim of incest. Now, Republicans in Tennessee are trying to punish young women that travel to receive care. The Tennessee GOP aren’t alone in their cruelty. We have to fight back.… x.com/i/web/status/1…
