I assume this sprinkler room identifies as a home? Good luck with this, @Jerri_M_Green.

Wow. Not on my bingo card. @AbdulElSayed is so radical his fellow Democrats are endorsing Republican @MikeRogersForMI.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

Good morning, it will now be pitch black at 4:30 pm for the next five months in Nashville. Falling back is indefensibly stupid and should end forever.

Go VOLS. It's more than football. It's a way of living. No, actually- it's THE way of living.
My car wouldn't start in a Tractor Supply parking lot in Tennessee, so I opened the hood.
I know nothing about engines. In American movies, opening the hood is how a man calls for help. It works outside the movies too.
The first one arrived in under two minutes with a fifty-pound bag of chicken feed on his shoulder. No hello. He set the feed on my bumper, put his hands on his hips, and looked into my engine.
Then a man from a truck hauling fence posts. Hands on hips.
Then an older man came out of the store holding a receipt. He had not finished paying. Through the window I could see the cashier still holding his card. I think he heard the hood.
Nobody touched anything. Nobody asked my name. Three strangers stood around my engine like it was a campfire.
"Battery," said Chicken Feed.
"Could be the starter," said Fence Posts.
"It's not the starter," said Receipt.
Fence Posts made a clicking noise with his mouth to show what a bad starter sounds like. Receipt said that was the wrong click and did his own, and for a while two grown men in Tennessee just clicked at each other. I did not interrupt. It felt religious.
It was the battery. The terminals were crusted white. Chicken Feed walked to his truck, came back with a can of Coca-Cola, cracked it, and poured it on my battery.
"Has to be Coke."
"Pepsi works," said Fence Posts.
"Pepsi does not work, Ronnie."
"It's the same acid!"
"Then why'd God make Coke?"
I looked it up that night. Men have been having this exact argument online since at least 2004.
The sun was going down. Receipt said, "Somebody hold a light," and a flashlight was in my hand.
I pointed it at the battery.
"Not there. Where I'm looking."
I moved it.
"Where I'm looking NOW."
For ten minutes I chased an old man's eyes around an engine with a beam of light. I have trained with a sword for twenty years. Nothing has ever asked more of my wrists.
Then, without looking up, Receipt said, "Don't watch my hands, son. Watch my face. Took my daddy eleven years of yelling to teach me that."
So I watched his face. I saw where he was going to look before he looked, and the light was already waiting there.
He stopped correcting me.
The car started on the first try. Nobody cheered. Chicken Feed took his feed back off my bumper, Fence Posts said "There ya go," and in under a minute they were gone, the way they came.
I was closing my hood when a truck two rows over wouldn't turn over. Up went its hood. A father, and a boy of maybe nine.
I walked over with the flashlight. I did not ask. I put the light where the father's eyes were about to go.
He glanced at me. Then at his son.
"Watch how he holds it."

Fact: @VoteMarsha won the "debate" and she didn't even have to waste her time showing up to it. By not giving air to the 3 stooges on stage, she won, just as she'll win on November 3rd. That's all.

Here for it. 👏🏻
Sarah Fagerburg, a Johnson City mother of nine, opened a school in her garage when she couldn’t find the right fit for her kids. The school has grown, rented a space, and registered as a private school. But state rules are getting in her way.
Tennessee dictates when, where, and how private schools must teach, leaving school founders little room to try anything new.
Today, we filed a lawsuit on her behalf.

Under my leadership, we're going to give the state budget a haircut every single year - because every Tennessean deserves to keep more of their hard-earned money.
Always a pleasure to join you, @mattmurphyshow!

Good work, @EmilyBrey! Actions have consequences.
Policy matters.
Expanding our prevailing wage law does nothing but make life more expensive for taxpayers.
@AFPPennsylvania is withdrawing support for those who voted to expand prevailing wage, and doubling down support for those who voted against.

Giving this woman any sort of award just serves to prove what a joke public ed has become. Some of the worst schools in the state and she gets an award for it. 🤡
🎓 Metro Nashville Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Adrienne Battle has been named the 2026 Urban Educator of the Year. The award recognizes leadership in urban education, and Battle will receive scholarship funds to give to an MNPS student.

Tennessee needs BIG, BOLD, BROAD property tax reform. Not this tinkering around the margins, shifting the burden to younger generations and small businesses non-sense seen in some other states. BIG. BOLR. BROAD. Everyone benefits. Except the local politicians addicted to spending your money.
