Tell me this line of Matt Van Epps's TV spot, "I know what to do to terrorists, so these woke wannabes in Washington better take cover," is not a call for violence against political foes. (Or does he believe that one debates policy with terrorists?) Jarring cluelessness especially after yesterday.

Update: Van Epps adds cable buy (Fox + ESPN) and pro-Van Epps PAC with begins airing on ch 2, 4, 5 plus cable (Fox + Newsmax). The PAC buy includes a spot during each of next two Titans game, each costing a cool 21 large.

Hey @axios.com Nashville if you have obtained this document why doesn't your story link to it? Reporting on it is short form and sketchy. Let's see the full document.

"Top headline" @thetennesean.bsky.social feeds is an advance preview of something that happened yesterday. Some days I can't believe I pay actual money to subscribe to this stupefying level of incompetence. Come to think of it most days.

Startling to see these WSJ stories - two cities not so long ago the object of much urban growth + vibe envy, both now bleeding talent and mojo. There's a cautionary tale in here for Nashville no doubt...
