ICE is Rapidly Expanding Dangerous 287(g) Agreements with Local Police
The ACLUβs research details the Trump administrationβs dangerous expansion of the 287(g) program, making law enforcement and state agencies act as ICE agents.
Clarksville TN has been contemplating entering into a 287(g) agreement with ICE. This program has led to many civil rights infractions and greatly strengthens ICE's power. If elected I will do everything in my power to prevent or reverse a 287(g) agreement.

Something I've been harping on forever now and it doesn't take a genius to figure out. Cost-of-living is too damn high and minimum wage here in Tennessee is laughable. We need REAL leaders that will actually address and fix these issues!

TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion
SBC President Clint Pressley endorsed the effort saying it would βprovide preborn children with equal protection of the laws.β
To be clear and make my stance known, I'm 100% for the right to choose, and if elected I'll do everything I can to protect those seeking, having received, or performing abortions. Nobody should be punished for receiving a medical procedure.

There's not too many bigger news outlets covering this, but the TN State House has just passed a Bill which will allow for a "private citizen or organization" to discriminate against those in same-sex marriages. It isn't subtle what they're attempting to do.

House ending session early as Republicans clash over Epstein vote
The House is leaving Washington early as Republicans clash over the Jeffrey Epstein files. House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Epstein as some Republicans...
Speaker Johnson has thrown his hat in with defending all of the pedophiles and collaborators (including President Trump) that are in the Epstein Files. The Democrats and few Republicans should remove Johnson and get a new Speaker of the House that's willing to play ball.

17 claims about Trump's relationship with Epstein we've analyzed
The two became friends in the 1980s, according to the U.S. president. Epstein died in prison in 2019.
Sifting through what is true and false regarding Trump's association with Epstein can be difficult at times. They need to release the damn Epstein files already, both for transparency and to hopefully deal out justice!

I think that is a reason why Sanders has been encouraging progressives to run as independents. Partially as a strategic move to not be associated with the Democrats, but also as a way to challenge the Democrats. Obviously he still encourages people to run as Democrats, but I agree with his reasoning

The Democrats are horrible at marketing their ideas. They should take the same approach as Trump, which is to lean in heavily with populist rhetoric. But they're too institutionalist and out of touch to do so. Plus most are bought and paid for, and won't do anything to anger their donors.

Prices will continue to rise and will disproportionately hurt the working class. My main priorities if I'm elected is to raise wages in the city to $20 an hour through a combination of policies. In addition, lowering the price of rent; 6/10 of people spend 30% - 50% of their income on.

Disabled veteran who is a US citizen was taken during SoCal immigration raid, family says
Concerned family members are desperate for answers after they say a disabled U.S. veteran and citizen was taken during a federal immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Southern California.
This makes my blood boil! A citizen and US military veteran violently abducted by ICE for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I hope that the many service members I know that gained their citizenship through military service aren't subjected to this.
