One out of every four dollars spent on health care in TN comes from Medicaid. Medicaid covers more than 50% of births and almost 60% of Tennesseans in nursing homes. Eight of Tennessee’s members of Congress put Medicaid on the chopping block tonight to cut taxes for rich folks.

Government shut down; air traffic controllers not getting paid; health care costs soaring. And this guy is directing the government to give him a quarter of a billion dollars. The corruption knows no bounds.

How can Sen. Hagerty act so shocked? The January Report disclosed retrieving toll records for calls from WH to a handful of senators on night of J6. And it was public that he was in that handful. It’d be crazy for a prosecutor not to have those records when the calls were a big part of indictment.

Hagerty tweet re spying.
Footnote from Jan 2025 special counsel report detailing toll records of calls.

We’re missing basic civics here. It’s Congress—not the President—that has the constitutional power to call out the Guard. Congress’s laws let presidents deploy under narrow, specific circumstances. For nearly 250 years, courts have enforced those limits to prevent abuse of power.

“Evenly divided” here means half of the private school vouchers go to families making less than the ~$170,000 limit, which is 95% of Tennessee families and half go to families making even more, which is the wealthiest 5% of Tennesseans.

Good God, this is dangerous. And just an outright rejection of basic principles of constitutional government in the United States.

Got so tired of complaining about voter fraud without proof that he just went out and did voter fraud. Now that’s commitment to a cause.

George Washington won the Revolution, presided at Constitutional Convention, and was our first President. When Senate proposed his face for US coins, he rejected it as anti-republican and signed a law barring any actual person’s image on coins, which held until Lincoln was put on the penny in 1909.

During 2024 campaign, Trump lied and disowned Project 2025. CNN and others in media actually fact-checked Democrats for deceiving & misleading voters by linking it to Trump. But it’s been the operational blueprint for his presidency from the jump.
