States like Tennessee that refuse to expand Medicaid are keeping hundreds of thousands of their own people from getting coverage and repealing this landmark health care law would threaten health care insurance for millions of Americans.
The Common Wealth Fund report released yesterday confirms what we’ve known for years: Medicaid expansion under the ACA helped insure millions more people. The significant increases in coverage among African Americans exemplifies this. https://t.co/D3yF20GL3V

This is discrimination plain and simple. TN has thousands of children in foster care, many eligible for adoption. We should not deny LGBTQ couples the opportunity to be caring parents. Adoptive parents are not easy to find. @GovLee should not allow this bill to become law. QT @Tennessean: In first bill of the year, Tennessee Senate passes legislation allowing adoption agencies to deny gay couples https://t.co/DSX373fGBE)
One of the gravest dangers of this radical waiver request is reducing the little transparency we have into the workings of TennCare. @CMS.gov should reject this dangerous plan. I’m glad my colleagues agree. QT @EnergyCommerce: Bicameral Democratic Committee Leaders @Frankpallone and @RonWyden urge @OIGatHHS to conduct oversight of Tennessee… https://t.co/EIwEpbZfxt)
This War Powers Resolution is necessary to prevent the president’s further disregard of Congress’ constitutional role and limits the president’s military actions in Iran without Congress’ expressed authorization. https://t.co/ifpcLY9O6J
As a co-sponsor of the War Powers Resolution, I will vote for the bill later today. The current Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) is outdated and in no way applies to military action against Iran.

Today is the last day to submit your comments on TN’s dangerous Medicaid block grant proposal. @CMSGov should reject this radical experiment that risks the health of more than 1.4 million of our most vulnerable Tennesseans.

The Supreme Court Shelby v. Holder decision gutted the ability of the Voting Rights Act to combat voter suppression and discrimination. Today, I voted to pass H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, to restore the full strength of the VAR to protect everyone’s right to vote.

Good luck to @kathybuggs1 as she started her new job as Director of the Office of Neighborhoods in the Mayor's office. We're going to miss her, but know she'll do great things for Nashville.

The president’s trade war and tariffs are having a negative impact on local, regional and national businesses. Phil Griefeld and Janet Duckman of @CaptainDs, based in Nashville, discussed how the tariffs have directly affected the restaurant chain’s business. https://t.co/G3VP1ArlkS
This morning Charles Kupperman failed to comply with a subpoena from the House investigative committees. No one is above the law. He needs to appear before the committees to testify about what he knows.

Tennessee is denying thousands of formerly incarcerated citizens the ability to restore their voting rights because of burdensome requirements and complicated bureaucracy. Only 3.5% of Tennesseans who are eligible to have their voting rights restored have done so.
Today marks the 25 years of the Violence Against Women Act. Earlier this year, the House voted to reauthorize the Act. The Senate needs to do the same. #VAWA
