“This is going to be a bloodbath if something isn’t changed,” said Levine, a Republican who once led Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ health care transition team. “The issue isn’t just about Unicoi and whether it reopens, it will be about how many hospitals we can even keep open.”

#Tennessee to give more average per-pupil funding to religious indoctrination centers than public schools https://tennesseelookout.com/2025/08/23/tennessee-to-give-more-average-per-pupil-funding-to-voucher-participants-than-public-school-students/ #Education
Reuters spoke to 20 #NationalGuard members, from #WestVirginia, #SouthCarolina, #Mississippi, & #Tennessee. Governors from #Republican-led states #Ohio & #Louisiana have also sent Guard #troops at #Trump's request.
The #soldiers told Reuters they had been instructed not to talk to the #press. Instead they had all been issued a printed statement they produced from their pockets. It states they are in the city to support "district & federal law enforcement by keeping #DC beautiful & safe."

And this morning I already posted this from resisters in #Tennessee who tracked down AWOL MAGA Congress critter Andy Ogles AKA "Pinnochiogles" to give him hell about this.
The June #subpoena to #Children’s #Hospital of #Philadelphia requests emails, Zoom recordings, “every writing or record of whatever type” #doctors have made, voicemails & text msgs on encrypted platforms dating to Jan 2020—before hormone therapy, puberty blockers & gender transition surgery had been banned anywhere in the #US.
~½ of states have since passed laws prohibiting all or most #gender treatment of #minors. #SCOTUS ruled in June a #Tennessee ban did not violate the #Constitution.

Attending a Faculty Senate meeting in #Tennessee. Anti-#DEI laws and #ExecutiveOrders now require that even #scholarships funded by *private* donors, but are awarded by #universities (through Department Committees, which is usually the case), CANNOT use any demographic characteristics of students as criteria.
This will have a hugely negative impact on philanthropic support of #HigherEducation.
The Nazis were horrible people, but at least they tried to hide their concentration camps.
The GOP is proudly merchandising them.

Utility to buy power from advanced #nuclear plant to fuel #Tennessee and #Alabama #Google data centers

The nation’s largest public utility plans to buy power from an upcoming advanced nuclear plant to help fuel Google data centers in Tennessee and Alabama.
The number of state #NationalGuard #troops detailed to Trump’s effort from the 6 states — #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Tennessee, #WestVirginia, #SouthCarolina & #Ohio — amount to >1,100. Governors said they were responding to requests from the #Trump admin.
It is not clear why the admin requested additional support. About 800 troops have already been called up from the #WashingtonDC, Guard & have had a limited assigned role so far in Trump’s 10-day-old attempted takeover of #DC #law enforcement.
