Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Some campaign Vols for a candidate a few years back weren’t told not to put mailers in mailboxes and didn’t know and a candidate got charged the cost of postage for every one.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Bondi to Blumenthal: "You lied. How dare you? I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

If it was in the mailbox, the postmark and return address is important. That would be the photo that would allow it to be looked into. The others I have seen didn’t actually go through the USPS.

It is, however I only glanced at this while waiting for my fellow canvassers to return. I didn’t have time to leave a long response, but I want folks to know I try to read and respond when I can. Usually these things are left on or near the mailbox but not in.

Sorry I couldn’t write a long expose on social media, I was busy working an 18 hour day yesterday on actual solutions to problems in our state.

@wkrnnews2.bsky.social missed an opportunity to educate the public about the maternity care deserts in TN -part of the reason we are the WORST state in the US for maternal mortality.
Glad this couple had a good outcome. For many Tennesseans, tragedy happens when medical care isn’t quickly in reach.

When we were talking about the ceremony before the wedding, Clare told me that she first met me when she canvassed with me during the Obama campaign. It’s so neat that I’m still reconnecting with people that I worked with back on that campaign in 2008.

Y’all know one of my favorite things to do is officiate weddings, I got to do that today in beautiful Cottontown, TN.

The couple, Nikki & Clare, were gorgeous, the log home was beautiful, and the family and friends were so welcoming. It’s always an honor to be a part of a couple’s happiest day.

We say this every year. I always vote against the GOP budget because Medicaid expansion isn’t included and I always talk about the budget being a moral document.

ON REDDIT — allegedly a mailer went out threatening Republicans to go vote in the TN-7 special election:

“Party leadership would be very disappointed” “You can’t afford that on your record” “your neighbors are watching” “we are compiling a list”😕

It was such an honor to be a part of this conversation today. We have so much to learn from each other when it comes to bringing justice to everyone in our community…no matter where that community is.

There has been no explanation that I am aware of for these changes. I am also aware of no warnings it was going to happen. Please call Tray Hargett’s office at the Secretary of State and ask him why this database has been censored and why there was no notice it was happening.

As of yesterday, the TN opposing viewpoint data has been changed. They have removed over 40 topics, from our database. I am told they are using the age-appropriate materials act to censor topics. These topics have been the subject of research papers for ages. These topics are important to students.

🚨🚨🚨 I need to talk about censoring of info in TN at the K-12 and college level. It seems Tre Hargett’s 1984 Ministry of Truth has arrived.

There is a data base for students nationally called Opposing Viewpoints. It provides reputable sources to both sides of an issue for students for research.
