Church friends say that Honey was privately ashamed and regretful that Lamar did not have the moral integrity to convict the former criminal President. Now an eternal Alexander legacy.

Had to do some digging, but finally found this clip from my 1987 interview with Honey Alexander when I worked @AP. I sat down with the first lady just before she and @LamarAlexander left TN's executive residence. She was gracious and reflective. (1 of 5)

How are you able to even sit in the same room with the coward and trader Rep David Kustoff?

Threats of political violence rose since Trump came into office. One man threatened to hang me and drag me behind his truck for remarks I made about Trump.
Trump and other Republicans could tell people to stop. Instead they invited attacks on our Capitol and fan the flames.

Can't ignore Rep David Kustoff, a Jew, Trump stooge since the beginning. The same thing Jesus had to deal with. Jewish leaders that sold out their on people for Roman political favor. twitter.com/kathygriffin/s

So in case you missed it, turns out our Tennessee Senator received a phone call from Rudy Giuliani after the attack on Jan 6th while she was there. As a constituent, I would like more information on that call.

In his speech at the NRA convention today, actually said, “What stops armed bad guys is armed good guys.” That’s what happens when you write your speech a week in advance and forget to rewrite.

Wow. Wow. Wow. This opener by Jimmy Kimmel is a gut punch. He's crying, he's raging and he's saying "let's make sure that not one of these [pro-gun] politicians holds office ever again."

Jesus told Peter to put away his sword.
Jesus healed wounds created by weapons.
Jesus warned us, “if you live by the sword you die by the sword”.
Jesus started a non-violence movement which called us to be peacemakers.
Time for Jesus followers to demand #GunReformNow
NOW.

Bill Lee shoved through a permit-less carry bill that was so unpopular that police lobbied against it. The NRA-beholden governor pushed the bill through anyway. We're all at higher risk because of it. Will Tennessee be next? It's past time for sensible gun laws

NEW: Ted Cruz just attacked people who are “politicizing” Uvalde and looking for “immediate solutions” like gun reform. Reminder, Texas Republicans just passed dozens of new laws making obtaining and trafficking guns as easy as possible, including without any training or license.

America should unequivocally reject Mike Pence, who tolerated the intolerable (like family separation & the Muslim ban) & shored up Trump's lies. Desperate for power until that power was turned against him. Pence lacks the character to lead. He is Trump's creature.

Pence tells me he’s open to running v Trump in ‘24 - will go “where we’re called” - and heads goes to Ga today to join ranks against Trump’s vengeance tour
Trump spox says Pence is “desperate to chase his lost relevance”

If lobbyists want to meet with me, they better bring ideas—not their checkbooks. I'm one of just six members of Congress who don't accept lobbyist money, and I also refuse donations from corporate PACs. I put Orange County families first.

As I have been saying since February…. And even if you can prove that Trump incited the mob that attacked the Capitol, you don’t need to do so to prove the case. Trump’s public pressure on Pence to abuse his power as VP is enough.

In retrospect, the fact that a lot of those SBC guys said we had *a moral obligation as Christians* to support a candidate for public office who boasts about *sexually assaulting women* was a bit of a red flag.

You could knock a dollar off the price of gas tomorrow and the fossil fuel industry would still make money – that’s how grotesque their excess profits are. The industry is riding high on cartel prices, and it’s time to bring them back down to earth.

This is one of the many reasons we cannot let Christo-Fascists to continue taking power and injecting their bastardized religion into our government and politics. There is no compromise with these people. No gray area. It’s beyond dangerous.
