‘Don’t lose hope’: More than 100 Tennesseans protest incoming Trump administration
SUMMARY: Over 100 people protested in Nashville against the incoming Trump administration, abortion bans, and anti-LGBTQ legislation. Participants included Jo Krump and her mother Lizzie Buchanan, who aim to represent Southern voices that advocate for rights. Buchanan expressed concern about losing reproductive health access and vowed to support LGBTQ rights for her children. Activist Allie Phillips shared her experience of needing an out-of-state abortion, criticizing Tennessee’s strict laws that lack exceptions for rape or incest. The rally highlighted a disconnect between Tennessee’s conservative politicians and their constituents, urging attendees to stay engaged and hopeful for change.

SUMMARY: Tennessee has lowered the speed limit on State Route 109, a notoriously dangerous stretch of road, in response to hundreds of accidents and growing concerns. Effective today, the speed limit is reduced by 5 to 10 miles per hour. Between October 2019 and 2024, over 1,600 crashes were reported on this road. The decision follows community concerns and extensive traffic studies. Lowering the speed limits to 45 and 50 mph aims to reduce crash severity. State and local authorities, along with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, are working together to enforce the new limits and improve safety.
After hundreds of crashes, TDOT is lowering the speed limit along a notoriously dangerous stretch of road.
SUMMARY: Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti is spearheading a lawsuit with over a dozen states against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The lawsuit challenges a new HHS rule that restricts the disclosure of “reproductive health care” information without consent, hindering states’ abilities to conduct investigations and obtain health records. The rule, established after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, adds barriers that prevent states from using reproductive health data in criminal or civil inquiries. Skrmetti criticized the rule as politically motivated and impractical, seeking to have the court declare it unlawful and halt its enforcement.
