It's Election Day, Tennessee! Real change starts at the local level, and I want to tell you about three incredible Democrats I’ve endorsed for the State House of Representatives.

Read up on them below ⬇️ and then find your polling place and get out there: IWillVote.com
I'm excited to support @gabbysalinas—a cancer survivor, scientist, and health care advocate dedicated to bold, inclusive reform for State House District 97. She has an incredible story of survival and resilience, and she's running to care for the community that took care of her.
As a consensus builder and community advocate, @Brandon4Tenn has proven he'll fight for health care, criminal justice reform, and an economy that works for everyone. I'm excited to stand with him in this fight to win State House District 49, and in the many fights to come.
I'm proud to support @VoteGloriaJ for re-election to State House District 13. She's been a champion for working families—whether she’s fighting to ensure every child has access to high-quality public education or making sure families don’t go broke paying medical bills.

Clearly, it would be illegal for Elon Musk or Donald Trump to cut someone’s Social Security benefits by $5,000 without a new law from Congress.

Now consider this alternative scenario: 🧵
Say a 66-year-old man qualifies for Social Security. Say he calls the helpline to apply, but he's told about a new DOGE rule, so he has to go online or in person.
He can't drive. He has trouble with the website, so he waits until his niece can get a day off to take him to the local office, but DOGE closed that office, so they have to drive two hours to get to the next closest office.

Instead of illegally trying to shut down huge pieces of our government that serve working people, Elon Musk could cut $2 trillion of actual waste by targeting handouts to the rich and powerful.

Here’s how: (🧵)
1. Negotiate better contracts for the Department of Defense. Giant contractors overcharge the DOD on nearly everything—including by more than 7,500% for soap dispensers.

My recommendations on contracting would save nearly $200 billion in the next 12 years.
2. Root out dirty tricks by private insurers that boost their profits by manipulating claims and denying coverage in Medicare Advantage.

Experts estimate that those insurers overcharged taxpayers by at least ~$83 billion in 2024 alone.

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.

We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵
1. We have to fight every fight in Congress. We won’t always win, but we can slow or sometimes limit Trump’s destruction. With every fight, we can build political power to put more checks on his administration and build the foundation for future wins.
During the Trump years, Congress stepped up its oversight of his unprecedented corruption and abuses of power.

Imagine you’re standing in the frozen food aisle, staring at a pint of ice cream. The price tag isn’t printed on paper, like usual—now it’s a digital display. With a camera pointed right at you. 🧵
It’s now more convenient for the store to change the price—how often do they take advantage of that? Does the price surge on a hot day? By how much?
If you pick up a pint even though the price has shot up, does the facial recognition software store your demographic data and use it to estimate how willing different customers are to pay certain prices?

You know who’s cheering for J.D. Vance? Billionaires. Election deniers. And anti-abortion rights extremists. But this pick is bad news for everyone else. Here’s why:🧵
Vance thinks seniors should get by with less—he’s called Social Security & Medicare “the biggest roadblocks to any kind of real fiscal sanity.” He thinks sick people should pay more—opposing the ACA, which Trump promises to repeal. And he wants more tax breaks for billionaires.
Vance thinks everyone should get by with less EXCEPT the billionaires. He’s backing Trump as he proposes another billionaire tax break that is worth $3.5 million apiece, every year—$3.5 million a year for every billionaire.

Don’t blame it on the endless shrimp.

Recently, Red Lobster declared bankruptcy, and even though it’s no laughing matter, the jokes practically wrote themselves—how could a company that offers endless shrimp NOT run out of money? But let’s look below the surface:
Red Lobster’s real downfall wasn’t endless shrimp—it was private equity’s endless greed.

You see, a private equity firm bought Red Lobster in 2014, & did their thing: looted profits, loaded Red Lobster up with debt, & saddled the restaurant chain with extra real-estate costs.
They followed a blood-sucking model that reaps rewards for private equity owners but leaves communities, workers, and customers holding the bag.
