Editor's notebook: U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles dishonors Memorial Day with political stunt • Tennessee Lookout Tennessee 5th District U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles made a mockery of Memorial Day with a political stunt attacking immigrants and Nashville's mayor.

I covered yesterday's press conference by U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles so reporters didn't have to work on a holiday--the event made a mockery of Memorial Day and I couldn't write a straight news story. Here's my take:

In Nashville, Volunteers Are Figuring Out How to Counter ICE

What is the worst US state for drivers with road rage? Worst three states for aggressive and dangerous drivers are found in the South, Southwest, and West — the safest is in the Northeast

Only in America is someone shot and killed every 18 minutes in a road rage shooting.

This is not normal.

Brady Denounces Trump Administration’s Abandonment of Reforms and… Brady is uniting Americans against gun violence. We invite everyone who wants to end our epidemic of gun violence to take action, not sides.

In a truly callous move, the Trump administration's Justice Department announced it will abandon efforts to address police violence and close investigations into police departments linked to unconstitutional practices and killings of Black Americans.

Trump DOJ Ends Policy That Shuttered Dangerous Gun Dealers The ATF’s “zero tolerance” policy helped shut down gun dealers who failed to run background checks and record sales.

This policy was working: Over 1,000 dealers were held accountable for serious violations—like failing to keep track of guns and vet customers.

With this move, Trump has made it easier for gun dealers to break the law, get away with it, and sell guns again.

Last month, the Trump Administration eliminated a policy that held gun dealers accountable when they broke the law.

Now, they’re encouraging those law-breaking dealers to reapply for licenses so they can sell guns again. This will only put more guns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them.

US government cuts imperil life-saving gun violence research. As doctors, we fear for the future | Jessica Beard and Elinore Kaufman The jeopardy over our country’s work remains, and we’re bracing ourselves for a scary situation we know all too well

"We should be filled with hope, not fear. But here we are, fearing for our patients, our communities and the countless many who will die..." as we face scientific censorship yet again in gun violence research.

Extremely painful to witness the cruelty & vitriol of Rep. Andrew Farmer. His unprovoked words were intended for nothing other than to dehumanize & strip away the dignity of a grieving colleague. I cannot imagine any other professional setting where such degrading behavior would have no consequence.

Thank you to everyone who have reached out with words of encouragement and support. I appreciate it, and I will not let this discourage us!

Two years ago, six people were killed and eight more were injured in a mass shooting at The Covenant School in Tennessee.

Honor them with action by calling on members of Congress at (202) 224-3121 to pass an #AssaultWeaponsBan.

@neilkornutick.bsky.social Farmer attacked Pearson about bereavement time away in the most ugly derogatory way possible. Pearson had said NOTHING to provoke that, he only presented his bill. Farmer kept going into the committee chair and house leader made him stop.
