former Republican speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff Cade Cothren were found guilty of corruption by a jury of their peers. #tnpol #tennessee #uspol #uspolitics #gop #republicans #politics
A coalition of more than 240 pastors, Christian faith leaders, and faith-based nonprofit organizations across Tennessee have come together to oppose a bill that could allow public schools there to deny enrollment for migrant children without legal status. #tennessee #tnpol #tnpolitics #resist #resistance

#JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".
1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas
2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure
Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).
"La legislatura de Tennessee acaba de aprobar la ley SB6002/HB6001 que, entre otras cosas, "crea un delito grave de Clase E para: un funcionario gubernamental estatal o local que adopte o promulgue una polĂtica de santuario; o en su calidad de miembro de un Ăłrgano de gobierno de un gobierno local, vote afirmativamente para adoptar una polĂtica de santuario".
Sin embargo, no define explĂcitamente quĂ© es una "polĂtica de santuario", ni tampoco las leyes a las que se refiere (hasta donde sĂ©).
El Santuario de Elefantes de Tennessee es solo una organización benéfica que realiza un trabajo vital que marcó la casilla en su formulario 990 en 2023 de que es "una organización que normalmente recibe una parte sustancial de su apoyo de una unidad gubernamental".
Entonces... si el gobernador Bill Lee firma esto... Âżles quita fondos a ellos (y a otros santuarios)?
Las leyes mal intencionadas y mal redactadas son malas.
El gobernador Bill Lee debe vetar este proyecto de ley, probablemente no lo harĂĄ... porque odia a los elefantes. đ đ

𧔠3/3 end
The Elephant Sanctuary In Tennessee is just one charity that does vital work that checked the box on their form 990 in 2023 that they are "an organization that normally receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit."
So...if Governor Bill Lee signs this... he pulls funding from them (and other sanctuaries)?
Badly intended, badly written laws are bad.
Governor Bill Lee needs to veto this bill, he probably won't... because he hates elephants. đ đ
𧔠2/3
Tennessee's legislature just passed SB6002/HB6001 which among other things, "creates a Class E felony offense for: a state or local governmental official to adopt or enact a sanctuary policy; or in their capacity as a member of a governing body of a local government, vote in the affirmative to adopt a sanctuary policy."
However, it does not explicitly define what a "sanctuary policy" is, nor do the laws it refers to (as far as I can tell).

The TN Senate committee realizes that the Dear Leader is wise, strong, beautiful and good. His wisdom shall save us all. Anyone who denies that deserves prison, damnation and destruction. Dear Leader deserves to take anything he wants from you because he is Dear Leader. /s

MAGA Republicans are passing real laws based on baseless conspiracy theories instead of legislation to solve real problems.
In Tennessee, GOP legislators are yelling at clouds. It would be embarrassing if they were capable of shame.
In a joking response, a Democrat from Nashville introduced an amendment to protect fictional beasts, such as Bigfoot.

Some good news...
Breaking: Federal judge rules Tennessee drag restrictions unconstitutional after trial
âA federal judge appointed by Donald Trump ruled late Friday night that Tennesseeâs Adult Entertainment Act (AEA), which would restrict drag performances in the state and threaten performers who violate the law with felony criminal penalties, is unconstitutional.â https://www.lawdork.com/p/tennessee-anti-drag-law-unconstitutional #politics #uspol #tnpol #lgbtq

When he spoke to the obvious FBI agent/prospective hitman hirer, he allegedly told the agent that he was interested in the murder for hire gig because, quote, "being in the military, doing that sort of work already. I was looking into civilian law enforcement (!!!), but that's not for me (AKA he failed the psych eval?). I wanted to do something more exciting."
So much for doing it for his family. Besides, who the fuck commits a major felony for 5 grand!?
At the meeting with the FBI agent, he accepted a $2500 down payment. His only question was if he needed to take a picture of the corpse to get paid the rest.
Now, this might shock you, but he was found to possess an AR-15.
Since being converted into a parody site in 2008, it has led to at LEAST 30 arrests of violent psychos dumb enough to send a resume for a hitman job listing on the internet. Or violent psychos dumb enough to ask for their help in finding a hitman.

So, our barely sentient idiot responded to a request for a hitman on an obvious parody site. Which, I'm sure will shock you, turned out poorly for the moron in question.
However, based on how psychotic he clearly is, it might be the best possible thing to happen to his family.
But, not to be deterred by objective reality or critical thinking, he met his potential employer/obvious FBI agent in person to discuss the job. Apparently, uploading his personal identification and murder for hire resume to a website didn't tip him off to it not being real.
His resume claims he is an "Expert Marksman" and that he had earned the nickname "Reaper" in the TN Air National Guard. Again, I am also the Queen of England.
