“Our position is that really nothing substantive has changed. [The TSBA] still receive almost 90% of their funding from public sources — from taxpayer money. It's an organization that is made up of elected school board members from all over the state... “They are basically trying to have their cake and eat it too. They get to try and pick and choose when they are going to act like an agency subject to the Tennessee Public Records Act, and we need clarification: Are they subject to this, or are they not?” tennessean.com/story/news/ed…

Today is the last day to register to vote in Tennessee! Make sure your registration is up to date, and you’re ready to vote RED this November. I’d be honored to have your support.

Burdensome permitting is destroying American innovation, energy production, opportunity & prosperity. It's beyond time for reform. America builds. America innovates. America drives. We are not Europe. Let's quit acting like it. Glad to see this bipartisan effort.

Election Day is officially 1 month away, Tennessee! On November 3rd, we’re going to stop the threat of socialism and show the nation what it means to be America’s conservative leader. Join us >> MarshaBlackburn.com

The death penalty should be reserved for the most heinous crimes where an extremely high, unquestionable burden of proof is met. When that sentence is handed down after passing the test for an extremely high burden of proof, dead within 30 days- MAX. Don't care how it's done.

Federal permitting reform represents a HISTORIC opportunity to turn West Virginia's energy advantage into MORE jobs, a BETTER economy, and STRONGER communities. Congress should follow @SenCapito's bold leadership by adopting this LANDMARK legislation! Let's get Washington out of the way so we can build West Virginia's future.

Yeah but no. Without electricians, modern society collapses and millions die. Without "Gender Studies" Majors the world... well, let's be real. It likely improves.

So does that mean you're anti-abortion, @Jerri_M_Green? Imagine what a lunatic you have to be to try and create a moral equivalency btwn state policies on the prohibition of killing innocent babies and executing a woman who brutally murdered her classmate in a satanic ritual and kept part of a skull as a trophy.

Some will rush to the defense of Christa Pike, but the only ones who matter in this case are Colleen and the Slemmer family. For thirty years the family of Colleen Slemmer has waited for the execution of their daughter’s killer, Christa Pike. Colleen was lured, beaten, tortured, slashed, carved on and then had her skull crushed. This pre-mediated act of violence deserved and received the death penalty. While a few will argue the death penalty isn’t humane - was Colleen’s murder humane? Justice wasn’t carried out last night due to an error. In the coming months, I will work with my senate counterparts to investigate this failure and past failures to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We will look at all options - expanding the alternatives, and changing the current medications to include potassium chloride. Thirty years is too long for justice. My thoughts have been and will remain with the Slemmer family as they continue to grieve.

The answer is simple: Bring back the electric chair.

So grateful for the confidence placed in me by small business owners who create jobs and strengthen our communities in Tennessee! These community leaders deserve a governor who understands the challenges of running a business and will fight to keep taxes low, cut unnecessary regulation, and protect the free market. I’m honored to receive @nfib_tn’s endorsement, and I will continue working to make certain entrepreneurs have the freedom and opportunity to grow and succeed in the Volunteer State.

The Jones Act has got to go.

Good Trump. Now it's time to do the same thing to TN Promise and HOPE Scholarship.

I swear this failed franchise tweets more about their uniforms, logos and mascot than they do about actual plays. That's how you know you truly suck.

I'd follow this coach into Hell and back.

Amazing.

It's taking my mom 8 weeks to get a lump on her thyroid diagnosed. My wife's step dad has prostate cancer. They only found out he had cancer because they had to demand his medical records after not hearing back from his doctor for weeks. Turns out, he went on a 5 week European vacation and they couldn't be bothered to inform her step-dad. They were literally offended when he asked for his records to go to another doctor. My neighbor's blood cancer came back. There's a medication his doctors say will likely cure him. Insurance refuses to pay for it. If policy makers don't give Americans a healthcare system worth defending, socialized healthcare will be here before we know it. Of course, it won't be any better, but things have gotten so bad, it'll probably only be marginally worse.
