The Tennessee Holler

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “The 🇺🇸 are tired of Netanyahu’s arrogance. They think we should tell him 🇺🇸 calls the shots. They want LESS cooperation and blank checks to 🇮🇱, not MORE.” He moved to block integrating 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 militaries as Bibi asked for. (while pretending he wants less aid)

WATCH — Rep Brendan Boyle to Trump treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “He promised he would lower prices on Day 1. It’s Day 500. And costs are higher than ever.”

“Mr. Secretary, I may have to get you a new pair of glasses.” @marcorubio hilariously pretends not to be able to see Trump and his family are enriching themselves off the presidency.

“The anti-weaponization (Seditionist Slush fund). Have you dropped that?” TRUMP: “No. A court ruled against it.” And Blanche refused to put it in writing. Taking their word for anything is a fool’s errand.

COLLINS: “Just to clarify, is the ($1.776 BILLION Seditionist Slush Fund) dead or on hold?” TRUMP: “Uhhhhhhh…”🤔🤷🏼

MCMINNVILLE, TN: “We’re not asking. We’re not begging. We’re saying, outright, NO.” Locals demand a stop to DATA CENTERS, which will pollute air/water, hike prices, make noise, etc.. (Owner email 👇🏽, feel free to cc us: thetnholler@gmail.com) Full: www.yahoo.com/news/videos/...

REP. AL GREEN: “Tell him to shut up! It’s my time.” As RepAlGreen is cut off from reminding us of Trump’s racism, DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin says he can’t be racist because he claims to be a fraction Cherokee🤔 (From @acyn.bsky.social )

RUBIO: “I’ve never seen Trump fall asleep.” @reptedlieu.bsky.social: “You just lied to Congress. Here’s a video of him sleeping while you were talking.”

SEN. WYDEN: “Trump has set the new high water mark for public corruption… everybody in 🇺🇸 is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.”

WATCH: “You are seen. You are valued. You belong.” 🏳️‍🌈 NASHVILLE Councilman Russ Bradford with a message of love and inclusivity — after one of the Republicans *representing* the gerrymandered city in Congress Rep Ogles made national news for being a hateful bigot. (again)

“That’s not how math and logic work” Wow - Kyle Clark fact-checks a Colorado Republican candidate for governor’s lies about Venezuelan gangs during a debate 👇🏽 🔥 (Would be super cool if Tennessee media would call out the same lies that get peddled here more often)

“ALBANIA FOR ALBANIANS!” Massive protests against Ivanka Trump & Kushner’s luxury private island project in the Mediterranean and the corruption that is enabling it, as the Trumps continue to personally profit while in office.

ICYMI — 🤔 “I’M NOT COMMITTING TO PUTTING ANYTHING IN WRITING.” 🚩 Blanche tells Rep. Meng he won’t issue an official order rescinding Trump’s $1.776 billion sedition fund heist 🤔, and we’ll all just have to take his word for it

ICYMI — REPUBLICAN Rep. Lawler called Rep Ogles a “fucking idiot” for the now-deleted viciously homophobic tweet he is blaming on a staffer 🤥 And openly gay ex-Rep. Santos, the only one whose lies rival those of Pinocchiogles, says he is “saddened by this insane comment”

Wow. Watch the fascism of the Epstein class work

SEN. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social : “This war has held the entire 🇺🇸 & 🌎 economy hostage. Info coming from the Trump administration has been indecipherable. How are you going to get the Strait open?” RUBIO: *words words words* 🤷🏼 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DZFzbiN...

🔥 🎯 @ta-ylorwatson.bsky.social : “A country that can fund endless wars at the drop of a hat but debates every dime someone wants to allocate towards health care or education doesn't have a budget problem. It has a morality problem. Hope that helps.”

Shawn Ryan on Trump’s absurd corruption: “He had Todd Blanche do the dirty work and made it so him and anyone his family could never be audited by the IRS. What the fuck is that? Does this shit look like he’s serving the fucking people? NO.”

“Let’s cross that bridge when we get to it, Phil.” Christian nationalist GOP candidate for gov Monty Fritts tells Phil Williams he’d ignore judges sometimes, wants to ban Islam (not Judaism🤷🏼)— won’t say what happens when courts stop him on that. More: www.instagram.com/reel/DZFpBt8...

ALBANIA — Seems like it should be a bigger deal that Ivanka Trump & Kushner’s luxury resort project is being massively protested, with the people demanding the PM’s resignation and firebombing homes over the corruption of their project partners.🤷🏼 The Trump grift is endless.

Israel REALLY doesn’t want Trump to end the war

ICYMI — Hassett says people spending more on gas & groceries (because of Trump’s war and tariffs) is a sign people are optimistic about the future 🤔 Who wants to tell this out-of-touch muppet it’s because they can’t live without these things?

Damn

WATCH — @joshrogin.bsky.social : “Trump is getting confronted by reality, which contradicts the made up story about the war in his head. In the end, reality is winning out. That's why we're in the quagmire... he's not getting what he wants, so he's throwing a tantrum.” (From @acyn.bsky.social )

FLASHBACK: Trump compliments Pelosi, defends Bill Clinton, says Bush should’ve been impeached for lying us into a war Imagine that!

Trump-supporting oligarch Ron Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, (who was reportedly behind the Greenland push and whose son-in-law Trump tapped for fed chair) calls for an “iron dome for disinformation” — because too many are seeing what Israel is doing.

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters called out Trump for being $3 BILLION in debt, infidelity, not talking to his son, reading the works of Hitler, etc Real Journalism used to be a thing! (Now ask yourself what long-term promises you might make to people if you were billions in debt…)
