Among these lawmakers is reportedly Rep.

Dolly Parton politely asks Tennessee not to erect a statue of her on Capitol grounds

Humbly turning down major honors seems to be a 9 to 5 job for Dolly Parton. The beloved country singer on Thursday said she has asked Tennessee's legislature to remove a bill to erect a statue of her on the state's Capitol grounds from consideration, despite being "honored and humbled" by the effort. "Given all that is going on in the world, I don't think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time," Parton said. This comes weeks after Parton revealed she turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom from former President Donald Trump not once, but twice, first because her husband was sick and second because she couldn't travel to Washington, D.C, amid the pandemic.

Trump triumphantly declares MAGA movement 'has only just begun' after Senate acquittal

These days, it can often feel like former President Donald Trump is off the grid, but he made himself known Saturday shortly after he was acquitted in a Senate impeachment trial for the second time in just over a year. In a statement, Trump thanked his legal team and the lawmakers who voted not guilty, while blasting Democrats, whom he accused of getting a "free pass to denigrate the rule of law." The impeachment effort, Trump claimed, was "another phase" of what he considers "the greatest witch hunt" in American history. Once he was done chiding his opponents, the former president turned his attention to his supporters, promising them "our historic, patriotic, and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun," and that "I have much to share with you" in "the months ahead."
