After the Tennessee legislature expelled state representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson for protesting inaction on gun violence last year, more people became aware of how the state’s Republican supermajority operates. However, there are Republicans and Democrats who say the current way of doing business is making it hard to get any kind of legislation passed. In this episode, we hear from grassroots lawmakers about how the gridlock is impacting their constituents and what it can tell us about our national politics ahead of the election in November.
Guest: Van Jones, CNN Political Commentator

This literally gave me all the feels (with some tears) as it made me think how all the civil rights that were dearly fought for are being chipped away-not only in Tennessee, but all of America.

As a life long Tennessean and a blue dog gal....so true. People are not hearing one another. It is almost a fascist state now. Look at what they did to the TN 3 not 2. The only reason Johnson stayed seated was order of vote. Pearson cast his vote and kept her seated prior to his vote was taken. It was 1 vote his!!!! Those two Justin's are amazing. Grew up in west TN in Gibson cty. Sad what has become of our state.. This continued left-right, blue-red, craziness is not serving our state at all.

Does anything exist besides Nashville because last time I checked Memphis (city proper) and two West Tennessee counties were blue too. The state has penalized all of them for being blue. Jackson, TN is not considered a small town, it has its own metropolitan area with just over 100,000 people.

I live in Tennessee. Have always voted Democrat... and it's depressing to see my vote watered down statewide, due to the gerrymandering of districts, the lack of education over the past few generations have dumbed people down that they will believe any emotional bs coming from the right, due to taxes that are structured to be garnered from people just trying to buy groceries not the wealthy corporations running operations out of this state, and the cult culture surrounding MAGA.

I live in Tennessee and yes they gerrymandered Nashville to wear a hundred miles around us in the countryside we are considered Nashville with our surrounding Republican neighbors. First time in 200 years we had GOP reps. One of them is Andy ogles the one that is just as big a liar as George Santos. I've lived in Nashville since 1981 we used to have a Democratic governor and senators and we ran the nation in TennCare which was the best health care we had Medicaid and they gave single moms and struggling parents a lot of help with gas daycare utilities even car repair. For the last 12 years Republicans have sat on the funds from the TANF and they have billions just sitting they have not spent a dime

The fact that the two black legislators were ejected but the white legislator wasn't tells you ALL you need to know about the motivations behind Tennessee gerrymandering. It isn't a coincidence that it went into overdrive after Obama was elected. It's all about race and keeping black voices out of TN politics.
