Seems like the Trump never admin takes a day off from their villainy, so we will try to keep you informed of issues as we find them. This is a big one. Let the secretary have it, your - opinion - because preserving the land and the water is top priority for a healthy nation. #protectourlands

The top two issues on everyone's mind as we head into 2026. created by Trump's disastrous mishandling of the economy, defunding key social programs, and failing to extend the tax credits for the ACA. The GOP have only themselves to blame for the harm they will cause. #VoteBlue #Democrats2026

When your party keeps voting against your best interests, ask yourself who are they working for. Then vote for the party that is working for you, not the billionaires, big oil, or big pharma. Next election, vote for the Democrats. #turnTNblue

We stand with the majority of Americans who are tired of the constant loss of life to gun violence in places where people should feel safe. VP Vance called for more guns in more hands today. He ... they are in the way. Next time you vote, vote for the Dems. We work for you, not the arms industry.

For the record, both TN senators voted against extending the ACA tax credits that expire January 1. It's on their heads what happens to the over 600,000 Tennesseans who are enrolled with the ACA and won't be able to afford the new premiums. Stop voting for the party that doesn't care. #VoteBlue

The vote to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years is on the line this week. Contact your members of Congress today! Two easy ways are to text "resist" to 50409 (Resistbot) or download the 5CALLS app to your phone. Remind them that you are watching and will remember how they vote. #ACA.

The final day of voting in the TN-07 is tomorrow Tuesday DEC 2. There's still time to make calls, check in with friends & family inTN-07, but in the end, the voters choose. Like Penn & Guilly, we’re hoping for a beautiful landslide & that we’ll be sending Aftyn Behn to Congress!

It's not just about sending another Democrat to the House and where the MAGA majority is a slim one; it's about sending a Democrat to take Marsha Blackburn's's old seat. Don't worry if you haven't phone banked before. We will teach you how.

No Political Enemies Act (NOPE) would protect individuals and organizations from politically-motivated harassment by the federal government. Please contact your MoCs (Members of Congress) and ask them to cosponsor and support this bill.
Text “resist” to 50409 and follow the instructions. #NOPE

A year ago, most of us were in shock, crushed by the outcome of the election, unsure we were up to the task before us. What a difference a year makes. Thank you, @carrienewcomer.bsky.social for helping us process our grief and shock and helping us move forward.

Mark your calendars and keep the momentum going. When we all vote, we win.

Democracy is not a spectator sport. It will take all of us working together to get Democrats into elected office at all levels to counter the destructive policies of the Trump and Lee administrations. Help us keep the momentum going. Volunteer. Donate. Run. Support. Vote.

It’s easy to forget that love can truly unite all of us.

Enjoy all the pretend ghouls tonight, but prepare to cut off the real ones in D.C. and here in Tennessee, whose spending priorities should horrify every democracy-loving citizen. Please donate to our virtual food bank fundraiser for Second Harvest of ET to help feed those in need. blountdems.org

We're gathering nonperishables for local food pantries at our office and raising $$ for Second Harvest of East TN via our virtual food drive. The link to donate, address and hours are on our website: blountdems.org Help keep food on the table of families, kids and the elderly in our community.

Please share this too! Our community needs all of us.

Not sure why or how much SNAP benefits matter?
October 29, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Because of the GOP shutdown, SNAP benefits won’t pay out in November, leaving many TN families without food assistance.
Democrats are stepping up to fill the gap. Drop off non-perishable items for donation to Second Harvest at our HQ: 523 W. Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Suite 14 Maryville. #snapbenefits
