(Mike Osborne) The Democrats and Republicans who make up Tennessee’s Congressional delegation don’t agree on much, but they agree on this: The federal Small Business Administration needs to get its online, pandemic aid application portal back open immediately.
In early April, the SBA began accepting applications for federal grants from pandemic battered small entertainment venues. But the agency’s website crashed almost immediately and hasn’t been restored more than two weeks later.
Tennessee pols this week fired off letters urging SBA to quickly get the application process back on track.
Memphis Democrat Steve Cohen wrote “Live venues on Beale Street and beyond are the heart of Memphis, but businesses are receiving eviction notices and some in Memphis have already been forced to close. This funding is a lifeline and cannot come soon enough.”

The facts are clear - Joe Biden and Kamala Harris received 81 million votes and 306 electoral votes against the 75 million votes and 232 electoral votes for Trump and Pence.
Fleischmann, Blackburn and Haggerty should acknowledge the result and move on. That is the American way.
One of the realities of the democratic process is that in any given election there is a winner and there is a loser. The democratic process can only survive when those who participate accept that reality and respect the result. That doesn’t mean the losing side has to be happy. Nor does it mean that they can’t work for their beliefs even harder until the next elect
