Yeah not true β€” they just want to preserve their monopolistic power

Thank you for posting. I received emails from CVS just today and was trying to understand this situation.

DON’T BELIEVE CVS. THIS IS AN ANTI-TRUST BILL.

You may have received texts from CVS asking you to β€œprotect pharmacy access.” HB1959/SB2040 simply breaks up Big Healthcare’s vertically integrated monopoly by separating PBMs from pharmacies. If it passes, CVS isn’t going anywhere

Today, we are launching our Pot for Potholes digital campaign to build support for our bill (SB 2440/HB 2525) that would legalize and tax marijuana in Tennessee and invest the revenue in the states, crumbling roads, bridges, and transit infrastructure. #PotForPotholes

Good Evening, All. For those of you who have more recently followed me, I did what I could to show my support for @aftynbehn.bsky.social in her campaign last fall for US Congress in #TN-07. Even though she lost, Aftyn continues to work in the TN House. Check out a recent post from her. 😊

Another week of gaslighting instead of ending Tennessee grocery’s tax.

Tennessee is spending your tax dollars on culture wars and lawsuits rather than making groceries and utilities cheaper. Don’t believe them when they say this is the best we can do. It’s not.
