A Southern Baptist policy leader applauded Biden for choosing not to seek reelection, calling it a "rare" and "selfless" act to walk away from power. A day later, he was removed from his position. tennessean.com/story/news/rel…
This is the latest development in an ongoing internal tug-of-war in the Southern Baptist Convention between mainstream conservatives and a further right-leaning faction. But it's also a window into the current political landscape.
Leatherwood applauded B's decision while criticizing/warning evangelicals of Harris' policy positions. Statements like his & from conservatives like Romney and Pence feel fairly milquetoast in the political parlance of a former era. They seem to be anathema today.

People are flooding into the Tennessee Capitol this morning as lawmakers head to a.m. floor sessions. The crowd calls for "gun control now"
I'm currently in the press room for a minute monitoring the Senate feed, which just started -- You can hear the crowd singing in the hallway beyond the chamber through the audio as Lt. Gov. McNally begins to address the Senate. @KDFiscus is on scene with the crowd.
McNally sent Gov. Lee a letter in support of 4 security measures to “increase and modernize security” at Tennessee schools. All would be changes to schools, no changes to gun access.

Two Nashville lawmakers spent the morning with Covenant School families, a heartrending wait for parents to learn if their kid was one of the school
shooting victims.

Hours later, at the state Capitol, tempers and emotions flared:

"You need to hear it: The sound of the mother when she was told that she would never see her child again. I've never heard a sound like that," Rep. Bo Mitchell, D-Nashville said. "It's indescribable."

Nashville police say a school shooting suspect is dead after an active shooter emergency at a private Green Hills pre-6 grade school. Fire officials have reported "multiple" patients so far tennessean.com/story/news/202… via @Tennessean
Breaking news situations are chaotic, and I always urge folks to be mindful of what they amplify on social media.

@rachelannwegner is on scene for the @Tennessean, and we'll keep you updated as we're able to verify accurate information.
Officials have staged a family reunification site at Woodmont Baptist Church on Woodmont Boulevard, about 2 miles from Covenant School.

Glen Casada, Cade Cothren indicted on federal corruption charges tennessean.com/story/news/loc… via @Tennessean
Reading through the indictment, all of the charges are directly related to Phoenix Solutions, the firm that brought down Rep. Robin Smith last spring.
In Dec. 2019, Casada texted Cothren: "I think this is
starting off well I'm pleased!"

COTHREN agreed, but later cautioned, "we just have to make sure no one knows it's me involved."

Tennesse's total abortion ban will begin Thursday. It contains no exceptions.

Not in cases of rape. Not in cases of child sexual abuse. Not to save the life of the mother.

tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
Many Republicans contend the law's intent was to shield doctors who perform abortions for the life of a pregnant patient or to prevent debilitating injury.

But the law doesn't contain that exception. It provides a defense doctors can use *after* they're charged with a felony.
I pressed Gov. Lee on this today and asked if he'd support changes to the law to better protect physicians in those circumstance. Lee says the law already does that.

A close reading of the law says otherwise. tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
