The response from the mayor’s office in the Tennessean article is not inspiring. Basically, Butler Snow can handle themselves 🤷🏻‍♂️ Check out this article from Tennessean:

Part 2 in my Fusus explainer series, a look at the broader debate over community safety. From disparate impact in traffic stops and use of force, to oversight boards, ALPR’s, and a militarized ‘cop city’ police campus—Nashvillians have asked: safety for whom? open.substack.com/pub/adamshoo...

Is the IRS going to limit DOGE access to 30 days and then send it all down the memory hole or is that just sound public policy for $1.5 billion corporate tax giveaways
