Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee posted a series of tweets on August 12, 2025, highlighting business growth in Tennessee, praising the work of Canadian National Railway (CN) in Memphis, and criticizing local officials in certain cities while supporting former President Donald Trump’s policies.
In her first post at 13:38 UTC, Blackburn stated, “Business is booming in Tennessee because of the America First agenda—and we’re just getting started.”
Later that day at 15:54 UTC, she commented on her visit to a CN Railway site in Memphis. She wrote, “It was a pleasure to visit the @CNRailway site in Memphis to hear more about the incredible work they are doing in our state. They are delivering end-to-end supply chain solutions across North America, and they couldn’t have picked a better city to do business than Memphis.” CN operates as a major North American railway providing freight transportation services across Canada and the United States.
In an additional tweet at 18:35 UTC, Blackburn criticized local leadership in some U.S. cities and expressed support for former President Trump’s approach to public safety. She posted, “Left-wing mayors and local officials in cities like Washington D.C. have allowed criminals and illegals to wreak havoc on their communities. President Trump is taking strong, decisive action to keep Americans safe.”
Senator Blackburn represents Tennessee in the United States Senate. Her statements reflect ongoing debates about economic policy impacts at the state level as well as national discussions regarding immigration enforcement and urban crime rates.
