Bill Hagerty
RConservatives, religious organizations, energy producers, and other Americans disfavored by Democrats were targeted with account closures and credit denials. @POTUS and @USOCC are confronting these abuses and putting an end to the weaponization of our financial system.
Congratulations to my good friend, Barbera Thornhill, who starts as the Senate-confirmed U.S. Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking. Ambassador Thornhill is a successful businesswoman and civil leader who focused her earlier philanthropic work on protecting and supporting vulnerable children. She will bring experience, judgment, compassion, and leadership to her new role.
@TVAnews and @ENERGY are supporting readily-available, affordable energy that powers Tennessee and the nation. @POTUS is lowering costs for over 2 million families and businesses while bringing new innovation and employment to the Volunteer State to the tune of 800 jobs.
Today, we celebrate 251 years of @USNavy’s dedicated protection of our seas. Semper Fortis! https://t.co/sltZs3U5rO
Happy Columbus Day, Tennessee! https://t.co/C0yaQzGEPO
The Volunteer Spirit continues in Tennessee’s bravest. Welcome home to our airmen, and thank you and your families for protecting our precious freedoms.
Happy birthday, @GovBillLee! On behalf of Tennessee, thank you for your steadfast leadership and commitment to the Volunteer State. It has been an honor to serve Tennessee alongside you. https://t.co/EnW9rhEx3Y
It was great to meet with newly-sworn in Williamson County Mayor Andy Marshall and welcome him to office. As a dedicated Tennessean and proven business leader, Williamson County is in good hands under his leadership. I look forward to working together to serve the people of Tennessee.
Congratulations @Fly_Nashville and Air France on this exciting partnership. This new route allows for more convenient travel for Tennesseans, and opens the door for tourism and economic growth across our state.
America is the greatest nation for business, new technologies, and energy production. It was great to join and lead these conversations at this year’s Imagine IF summit. https://t.co/p34CwnzhO8
@POTUS is fostering financial security for the next generation through @TrumpAccounts. Now, over 70 million young Americans own a share in our nation’s prosperity that will compound for decades.
Three years ago, the world witnessed pure evil as Hamas terrorists murdered innocent Israelis and Americans, and took hostage innocent men, women, and children. Today, we remember the victims of October 7, pray for their families and all those forever changed by that horrific day, and reaffirm that the United States stands with Israel. Hamas did not act alone. The regime in Tehran funded, trained, and equipped the forces of terror that brought death and destruction to Israel. We will never forget October 7, and we will always stand with Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
@ChairmanSelig is establishing clear rules to cement U.S. leadership in digital assets. This is how America leads the future of crypto technology: regulatory certainty that promotes innovation and protects consumers.
The forum brought together leaders in government and business from the United States, South Korea, and Japan to advance breakthroughs in national security, economic prosperity, energy security, and technology WASHINGTON—Last week, United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Banking committees and former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, participated as a special guest in the fourth annual Trilateral Executive Dialogue organized by the 21st Century Policy Institute and held at the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream. Over the course of two days, Hagerty led and facilitated discussions with senior Trump Administration officials, foreign dignitaries, and top business executives from the technology, energy, and finance sectors. “It was an honor to participate in the fourth annual Executive Dialogue,” said Hagerty. “America’s alliances with Japan and South Korea are among the most consequential in the world. I’ve dedicated much of my life to deepening these ties to advance U.S. national security and economic interests, and this forum continues to deepen our relationships in finance, energy, and technology. Japan and South Korea are two of America’s most important investors, creating significant American jobs as they build and operate businesses and factories at the leading edge of innovation right here at home.” The Trilateral Executive Dialogue has a mission to bring industry leaders and government policymakers together to strengthen multi-sector alliances among the three nations. “The caliber of discussion was immensely impressive,” Hagerty added. “I believe we made great progress in understanding how America, Japan, and South Korea can continue our strategic partnership to bring forth powerful innovations in our economies, our national and international security, and technology.” Hagerty appeared as a featured guest alongside senior Trump Administration officials as well as private sector guests, including: -Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent -Secretary of Energy Chris Wright -United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer -Acting Secretary of the Army Adam Telle -Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of Nvidia Topics of discussion included: -Finance, Capital and Strategic Investment -Energy and Critical Materials -Technology, Telecom, Semiconductors, and Cybersecurity -Trade, Logistics, Industrial, and Advanced Manufacturing
@POTUS is taking action to lower diesel prices, cutting costs for Tennessee farmers who keep food moving from the farm to families’ dinner tables.
It was a tremendous honor to serve as a special guest at the Fourth Annual Trilateral Executive Dialogue with @SecScottBessent, @USTradeRep Greer, Acting @SecArmy Telle, @JensenHuang and top business leaders from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. As Japan and South Korea invest more here under @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump’s trade deals, they are building factories in the U.S. and creating more American jobs. As our three nations strengthen our economic and energy security, we thereby strengthen our national security together.

Jack Smith, a Biden DOJ prosecutor, is accused of withholding critical information from a federal court in violation of Tennessee ethics rules WASHINGTON—On Wednesday, United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) submitted a formal complaint to the Tennessee Supreme Court’s Board of Professional Responsibility, calling for the disbarment of former special counsel Jack Smith. The complaint centers on Smith’s unconstitutional acquisition of phone records associated with Hagerty and other members of Congress as part of the Arctic Frost investigation. Hagerty alleges that Smith withheld critical information from a federal court in violation of the ethics rules applicable to Tennessee lawyers, which includes Smith. Because Smith withheld that information, the court issued a nondisclosure order preventing Hagerty and his colleagues from challenging Smith’s unconstitutional collection of their records. The complaint was filed following Smith’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, which revealed that Smith obtained confidential donor information of thousands of Americans, including many Tennesseans, and that Smith’s team violated filter protocols put in place to comply with the Constitution. “Jack Smith’s lack of candor before a federal tribunal directly resulted in injury to the United States Congress,” said Hagerty. “The Board should investigate and pursue the most serious remedy possible—disbarment—in light of the gravity of Smith’s intentional conduct.” A full copy of Hagerty’s complaint can be found here. ###
I filed a bar complaint against Jack Smith this morning. He’s a blatantly partisan actor and his prosecutorial misconduct damaged our constitutional order. He should never be able to practice law again. Read the complaint here. Next up, @Verizon. https://t.co/6CGVT37OIr
Blue states flood their cities with illegal aliens to inflate congressional representation in their favor—and Americans see right through it. We need my Equal Representation Act. It’s common sense.
The bill passed the House of Representatives by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 417-3 WASHINGTON—Today, United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) spoke on the Senate floor, imploring his colleagues to vote in favor of the Ratepayer Protection Act. The legislation is aimed at protecting consumers from taking on the increased energy costs associated with data centers and holding data center companies accountable for responsible investment. *Click the photo above or click here to watch* Remarks as prepared for delivery: “America is undergoing technological advancement at unprecedented speed. As we push new frontiers in this era of superintelligence, innovation can have a tremendously positive impact on our society and our nation’s competitiveness. At the same time, we find ourselves neck-and-neck with adversaries racing to harness this technology for their own purposes. It’s crucial that we keep up the pace, particularly regarding the development of large language models and computing power heretofore unseen. Our objective is clear: the United States must remain at the leading edge. To do so, we need more energy. Conversations are taking place across the United States about how we will meet the increased energy demands to power superintelligence. My overarching concern is that we do so responsibly and with local community needs in mind. Companies at the frontier of this emerging technology have the resources to pay for the infrastructure and costs associated to run these facilities. Importantly, the costs should not be borne by American families and small businesses. My colleague from Ohio has worked incredibly hard to get this bill across the finish line and deliver basic protections for the American people. The public is overwhelmingly in favor of the protections it would provide. Many states have already embraced it, including my home state of Tennessee. Tennessee adopted President Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge while preserving the ability of local communities to make decisions about data center development. The communities that have chosen to welcome innovation have seen incredibly positive impacts: more jobs; new investment; and an increase in their tax base that can allow a range of options from lower property taxes to greater investment in local public resources. Importantly, we’re doing so while ensuring that the massive energy demands of data centers aren’t passed along to Tennessee families and small businesses. What is the only thing standing in the way of enacting these protections? My colleagues on the other side of the aisle. In the House, the Ratepayer Protection Pledge passed on an overwhelming bipartisan basis with a vote of 417-3. You almost never see this level of consensus in Washington. And yet, last week, Senate Democrats blocked it from passage right here on the Senate floor. Unbelievable. Instead of comprehensive measures that put the decision-making power in the hands of state and local communities, my colleagues across the aisle want Washington to decide, making sweeping decisions for our nation without input from the towns and cities it would directly impact. I cannot stress this enough: removing local choice and imposing blanket data center moratoriums are not the answer to responsible innovation. In fact, they are precisely what will kill innovation and put America underwater in the technological race against our adversaries. When it comes to investing in this new frontier, communities should be in the driver’s seat. Localities should be able to decide when, where, and whether they should permit these facilities—especially when they have so much to gain from the investment. We have seen a massive amount of misinformation circulating about data centers—their costs, their energy consumption, their water usage, and their noise levels. The truth is we can find solutions to the concerns of Tennesseans and Americans while putting the United States in the best possible position to succeed. We need to speak out against these false claims, put a stop to the fearmongering that is jeopardizing America’s opportunity to lead in a critical area for our economy and national security, and clearly communicate the advantages that communities can have when they embrace American energy, and American technological ingenuity, all while protecting—and even bettering—the lives of Americans. It’s time to pass the Ratepayer Protection Act. But here we are in an election season. Fearmongering has taken precedence over responsible and thoughtful action. False claims abound while America’s technology leadership hangs in the balance. We should move responsibly, protect American communities, and support our nation’s economic and national security. The House of Representatives seized the opportunity. It’s time for the Senate to set partisan politics aside and pass the Rate Payer Protection Act.”
Democrats just blocked @SenJonHusted’s Ratepayer Protection Act. Instead of fostering responsible, thoughtful innovation, @SenateDems would rather play politics with Americans’ lives and pocketbooks. https://t.co/a82uDxjSZH
My Safe Transit Act would target fare evasion and keep law-abiding passengers safe.
The scale of the attack on the Legislative branch and the complicity of Judge Boasberg and the C-Suite full of apparent political activists at @Verizon should shock anyone in America who believes in the sanctity of our Constitution. https://t.co/mpurmHXmrs
