Overall, #COVID19 hospitalizations are showing a slight downturn, but pediatric cases are again rising. 4/4
Because some people keep posting the same crap, er, misinformation, this current crisis is driven by the UNvaccinated, who make up the overwhelming majoring of new cases, hospitalizations, deaths.
There is a reason the Northeast, which has done a phenomenal job with vaccinations, is faring MUCH better in the current wave than the South. If the B.S. were true about vaccinations driving the surge, the Northeast would be fiery red. #StopIt#GetVaccinatedNow
Also, Tennessee's status leading the country in #COVID19 cases is NOT due to vaccines. We are 46th in the percentage of adults fully vaccinated.
46th!

WATCH: I never dreamed that all of this would happen as a result of my investigation of Millersville, Tennessee's #ConspiracyCop. Attempts to smear me or intimidate me only make me more determined to get to the truth. #StayTuned

This man - who makes completely bogus claims that TennCare (Tennessee’s health care insurance program for the poor) was created by the Gores to launder drug money - carries a gun/badge and has power to arrest people. 2/
Thanks to those who have pointed out that Shawn Taylor’s interviewer thinks millions of Americans are already living on Mars! Remember, Taylor carries a gun/badge and has power to arrest people. 3/
"In 2019, when the text messages start, Jones hatches a series of partnerships, LLCs and domain names in addition to his flagship Infowars business. To mixed results, Jones bankrolls shadow operations around this time, including the junk-news site National File." splcenter.org/hatewatch/2023…
In leaked texts shared earlier this month by the Southern Poverty Law Center between him and well-known Republican operative Roger Stone in 2020, Jones said “off record this is my site” in relation to National File. According to the texts, the site was explicitly funded by Jones’ father David Jones and was meant to give Jones’ son, Rex Jones, more public visibility. gizmodo.com/alex-jones-inf…
@michaelpleahy @TheTNStar There are LOTS of videos of your "lead reporter" and Alex Jones working together.

Lots of political chess being played now in the Tennessee General Assembly on school vouchers. No one speaking to me believes there is a realistic chance of any measure passing this session, but... 1/
The question now: can school privatization forces get a vote on an amendment that allows them to run campaigns that say "XXX voted against school choice." 2/
