'That's so beautiful:' What happened when a Jewish woman from Nashville spent months talking to a neo-Nazi
It was an unlikely encounter between a neo-Nazi and a woman who represented everything he thought he hated. The result was completely unexpected.

Gov. Bill Lee is inviting a lawsuit.

The facts: The TN Supreme Court previously ruled it UNCONSTITUTIONAL for TN’s GUV to deploy troops for law enforcement. Years later, a federal court did the same thing.

But sure. This Trump mission is A-OK! 😉 tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/03/t...

If you’re wondering how much of what RFK Jr said yesterday about vaccines was true—almost none of it was.

@FullerLab_UW is one of the most accomplished vaccinologists out there and her article is required reading to separate truth from falsehoods.

Let's break down the reasons that this is a very bad idea.

1) School mandates ensure high coverage (>90%), necessary to block outbreaks of highly contagious diseases. Even small declines in coverage can break herd immunity, leaving vulnerable populations at risk.

There's been a big fight over gender-affirming care after Gordon Guyatt and his team at McMaster released a statement contradicting their former funders' public policy.

Last Thursday, at a town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a 35-year-old woman shared her story: she was denied prenatal care by her physician because they objected to the fact that she wasn’t married, nor did she plan to be. She’d been with her partner for 15 years and they have a 13-year-old child.
