When Dr. Coburn, the most conservative U.S. Senator, was named to Time Magazine’s “100 Most Infliential People in the World,” which of his former colleagues do you think penned his tribute? President Obama did. That’s how widely respected and loved Dr. Tom Coburn was.

Tennessee: “Not fair to expect Pruitt to compete in year two. Wait till he has his guys. The 5-stars on o-line are too young.” UNC: Mack Brown was two yards away from beating Clemson w/o five def starters, only freshmen and sophs on o-line with a crew that was 2-9 last year.

For those of us who know @GovBillLee , it’s been hard to watch the cheap shots he’s taken for 18 months. But to be sure, this is the true Bill Lee. A man of deep empathy who survived hard times himself. This was today, comforting a woman who lost a friend in the Waverly flood.

As conservatives, we need to get back to leading on fiscal responsibility, education reform and others pressing issues that are central to conservatism. In order to do that, we should be clear-eyed about what did and did not happen in the 2020 election.

In the worst of times, our Governor’s steady hand continues to guide our state with empathy and grace.

What happened at The Covenant School yesterday was a tragedy beyond comprehension. I want to speak directly to Tennesseans about the way forward.

I’ll be damned. Thank you @MarshaBlackburn and @BillHagertyTN . It’s not easy in politics to admit you were wrong — and I salute those who do.

Bill Lee ran a race full of empathy, humility and decency. Exactly the kind of race they say doesn’t win anymore. Our 50th governor will be one of our best.

Took the whole family out for the Soddy Daisy Christmas parade and it was the most fun I’ve had since we got started. Merry Christmas, friends!

@ClayTravis You say they “were wrong” as if we are looking back and it’s all played out. Death rate is lagging stat. You don’t get corona and die the next day. And no expert ever said the US would have a 10% mortality rate. Italy’s rate is high bc 37.6% of cases are 70+.

If only Chattanoogans could find a few more things we agree on as universally as our frustration with Republic Parking. Yesterday they gave me a $50 ticket, with no warning, for parking on the wrong floor of an empty garage I pay $70/mo to park in. Gotta love it.👏

Shelby and I got married 10 years ago today. Grateful to be living the life we dreamed of a decade ago. Marriage is not for the faint of heart, but we agreed early on we wanted a big family with a lot of love and a lot of grace. Here’s to my girl Shelby Marie.

I’ve never found myself rooting for President Trump like I am today. Look forward to him spiking the football once he and FLOTUS beat this thing. He will have a big time telling us that neither impeachment nor a once-in-a-century virus can take him down.

Tyre Nichols was a helpless man calling for his mom. Cruel men with power beat him and now will be held accountable. My prayer is that our community responds with love — it’s all that can drive out this kind of darkness.

The eyes of the world are on us as we participate in the single most important American tradition: fair elections followed by the peaceful transition of power. What a privilege. 🇺🇸

Last year I was visiting the Creative Discovery Museum with one of my kids and had an idea: county gov’t should support more families having access to CDM. Today we announced a partnership to give every Hamilton Co. kindergartner 4 unlimited “passport passes,” valid thru 6/30.

Honored to be appointed to the Tennessee Board of Regents by @GovBillLee . The 40 colleges and nearly 120,000 students in our system have unlimited potential. They represent the bright future of TN’s workforce — which I believe will be dominant.
