Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who represents Tennessee in the U.S. Senate, shared a series of posts on February 3, 2026, highlighting recent developments in Memphis public safety efforts, expressing gratitude to Elon Musk, and raising concerns about Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s impartiality.

In a post on February 3, 2026, Blackburn detailed outcomes from the Memphis Safe Task Force: “Since the Memphis Safe Task Force launched, there have been more than: – 6,500 arrests – 1,500 illegal firearms recovered – 800 stolen vehicles recovered The murder rate is also down 45%. President @realDonaldTrump is transforming our city.”

Later that day, she thanked Elon Musk in another post: “Thank you, @elonmusk. This is what the Volunteer Spirit looks like. https://t.co/bRrwuD4MM3” (February 3, 2026).

In a separate tweet posted on the afternoon of February 3rd, Blackburn commented on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s attendance at the Grammy Awards: “Instead of taking the time to learn what a woman is, Ketanji Brown Jackson was at the Grammy’s applauding anti-ICE rhetoric. How can Americans trust her to be impartial on the highest court in the land? https://t.co/F7wn5jxoVb”
