We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

It’s ok to put the phone down.

According to Karoline Leavitt, the Trump administration won’t be recognizing Pride Month and thinks it’s silly to throw a parade for “just 7%” of the population…..which is why they’re throwing a $120M+ parade for just one man’s ego instead.

“The guy who gleefully
took food and medicine away from poor kids thinks mocking his company’s stock price is evil.

What a little bitch.” Jon Favreau

Really proud of the team who has worked hard to pull this initial report together.

Nashville! The last Community Conversation on the Housing & Infrastructure study is tonight. Please join to learn more about the work and to ask questions. 🦞

What a time to be alive. For now.

While many of the roads are clear today, we do anticipate refreezing to occur overnight, so to ensure the safety of Planning staff and the public, our front counter will open with limited staff on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 9 a.m.

It’s really incredible how Kevin Feige has trained an audience to sit through the entire credits in hopes of some 60 second bonus sce

Come hang out with me and the stellar team at Metro Planning to talk about housing and infrastructure!

As he blames others for last nights tragic crash, please note his actions just one week ago.

So how’s it going so far?

Kennedy speaking at his inauguration, looking young and vital.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.

With incoming inclement winter weather, the Nashville Planning Department offices will operate on a fully remote schedule on Friday, January 10. If you have any questions, please contact staff directly via email or call 615-862-7190.
