HAPPENING NOW IN FRANKLIN: Republican #TN7 nominee Matt Van Epps has moved his event from Puckett’s to the gated mansion estate of a right wing billionaire. Police are outside and told us it’s a closed door event.
Seems to say a lot about who Matt plans to represent.

My interest in the newest Pete Hegseth saga, of what are very likely extra judicial killings of shipwrecked folks, is quite high. So I’m sharing this morning’s expert podcast from Joyce Vance & Ryan Goodman with everyone who hasn’t seen it yet. They also make some predictive outcomes.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Our system is broken. Medicare for All, now.
Combined with the Trump govt declaring that “domestic terrorism” now includes broad categories such as anti-immigration activism, anti-border control protest, anti-ICE protest, “anti-American” or “anti-government” ideology, this is rather unnerving. We’re on a very slippery slope right now👇
The Trump administration openly says that it will use its domestic spying capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. And ICE has been bulking up on the latest surveillance technology. bit.ly/3Kq348R
ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants
The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.
Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!
