A Tennessee senator has declared war on what she's calling the woke Nashville power company after a week-long outage.

Daily Wire senior editor Virginia Kruta has the story.

Senator Marsha Blackburn is gunning for the Nashville Electric Service as thousands of Nashville residents remain without power, more than a week after winter storm Fern wreaked havoc on the area.

Blackburn argued that NES had spent more time focusing on DEI initiatives than on preparing for winter storms.

She said, quote, the Nashville Electric Service held 102 DEI-related training sessions by the end of 2024.

They should have been using those resources to trim trees and bury utilities.

This is what happens when companies put woke politics over the needs of the people they serve.

Blackburn also sent a letter directly to NES demanding answers regarding the still unfolding situation in her home state and a detailed plan explaining how it planned to prevent similar debacles in the future.

President Trump announced Sunday that the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will close for about two years on July 4th for renovations.

Daily Wire assistant editor Andy Valdez has more.

Trump announced on Truth Social, quote, If we don't close, the quality of construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of the interruptions with audiences from the many events using the facility, will be much longer.

The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result.

Trump noted that the decision to close the center for two years is totally subject to board approval.

Trump, who chairs the board, overhauled the board's members last year.

The new board has reformed the lineup at the center to remove some events, such as those inspired by DEI.
