Winter Weather in Tennessee ❄️




<[link removed]>

Another Arctic cold front is moving through Tennessee, causing temperatures to
dip as low as the 10s and 20s this afternoon.



If you’re able to stay home, that’s probably your best bet, but if you have to
travel, use caution as all of that moisture on the roads has turned intoblack
ice

Another Day, Another Trillion Dollars 💸





Dadgummit, our legs ought to be tired from kicking the can down the road like
this.



Once again, Congress voted
<[link removed]> to
dodge a shutdown by spending gobs of money we don’t have—and this is really
just a sad bid tobuy us a bit more time
<[link removed]>
. We still have to trudge through a stack of bills to get us through the fiscal
year, and if you ask me, we should sit down and get to it. We’re talking about
$1.66 trillion
<[link removed]>
here, folks.



As usual, I was a big “nay"
<[link removed]>
on this short-term bill. Eventually this monster of a tab is going to be due,
and how in the world are we going to pay the piper? Our children and
grandchildren will be stuck with a tab that has a number so high they can’t
even count to it.



Another zinger here is that we still have a sorry excuse for a southern border
<[link removed]>—and
no sliver of a plan to get it under control. I saidno border, no budget
<[link removed]>
—and I meant it. Shut down the fiasco and stop the illegal crossings
immediately. But of course, some of my colleagues caved in and followed the
herd.



I’ll be honest with you folks: I’m beyond frustrated. The people of East
Tennessee sent me here to fight for conservative values—and I’d argue that
keeping our finances in check is pretty dadgum high on every Republican’s to-do
list.



I have all but begged my colleagues to get this circus under control, but they
just keep going along with it. As the old saying goes, “You can lead a horse to
water, but you can’t make it drink.”



But through all the disappointment, there may be a glimmer of hope. It looks
like we’re finally on our way to creating abipartisan commission
<[link removed]>
that would tackle our nation’s$34 trillion
<[link removed]>
in soaring debt.



As my friend Jodey Arrington
<[link removed]>
has pointed out, both parties are guilty as sin, and the yearly struggles we
face to pass spending bills are further proof of a broken process beyond repair.



It’s time to hit the reset button and tackle our spending problem with a
thorough plan to pay off this debt. We can’t keep going home every few days
when there are issues like this that deserve our attention.



We need to roll up our sleeves and pass a real budget, and we should be
willing to work long and hard days to get it done. All of you at home gave us a
vote of trust, and as far as I’m concerned, you deserve our best efforts in
return.



Time to get down to business!




 



Eagle’s Roost 🦅

Every child wonders what it’d be like to fly as free as a bird, and now
they’ll have a chance. TheAmerican Eagle Foundation <[link removed]> is
hard at work on a natural playscape in Sevier County called “Eagle’s Roost.”
This spring, children between the ages of five and 12 will get to climb on
wooden wings, sit in a giant nest, and fly like an eagle on a zipline.



All the materials for the $300,000 project were sourced right here in East
Tennessee, which just shows their commitment to serving the local community.



There’s no doubt that “Eagle’s Roost”
<[link removed]>
goes above and beyond your average playground to leave a lasting impact on
children. They will leave with love and appreciation for the great outdoors and
the beautiful wildlife we have here in the Volunteer State.



I look forward to seeing this incredible project come to completion!
