Tennessee Republicans volunteer our state to store the federal government's nuclear waste
“As the global epicenter of nuclear energy, Tennessee is honored to be selected as a potential host for a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus,” said Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee. "As our state answered the call during the Manhattan Project and helped shape the course of history, Tennessee stands ready once again to advance the safe, reliable energy solutions our nation depends on.”
The NRC proposal would abandon a philosophy to keep radiation exposure “as low as reasonably achievable,” instead setting a separate standard on maximum radiation exposure that includes several actions facilities must take depending on the potential dose of radiation to workers.

Tennessee has a democracy problem. Republicans in the highest offices are no longer participating in the elections and are renouncing debates and town halls.
newschannel5.comEast TN has a severe workforce housing shortage. Republicans Diana Harshbarger and Tim Burchett voted against the new housing bill
They are the only two members of Congress from Tennessee to vote against the bill, with two others abstaining. In the Senate, Blackburn and Hagerty voted yes. The bill limits how many houses Wall Street can buy, among other provisions. Trump refused to sign the bill, calling it a big yawn, so it became law by default after ten days. Here are actual quotes from Trump:
"Houses are very valuable. It's a big part of [homeowner's] net worth, their house. I don't want to knock those numbers down."
"Existing housing, people that own their homes, we're going to keep them wealthy. We're going to keep those prices up. We're not going to destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."
"I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes."
