Tennessee has been making headlines due to a series of significant events. The state faced severe weather conditions, with a snowstorm leading to at least 14 deaths and causing icy roads. Additionally, a snowball effect in the form of union representation hopes was noted by the UAW in a region where snow is rare. Furthermore, the state's gun safety legislation was expanded following a mass shooting, with Governor Janet Mills signing off on new laws to enhance background checks for private gun sales.
