📰 News we're reading
• Conservatives threaten Tennessee's new protections for IVF and birth control (wpln.org) — Brentwood residents should know that their state representative, Gino Bulso, is among conservatives criticizing Tennessee’s new law that protects access to IVF and common birth control methods. The law currently guarantees access statewide, but opponents may try to weaken it when the General Assembly reconvenes in January, leaving future availability of these services potentially up for debate. 
• OBITUARY: Jennifer Pilgreen (maurycountysource.com) — Brentwood readers may remember Jennifer Pilgreen, who moved here in 1988 and graduated from Brentwood High School in 1995, before later settling in Columbia and Tracy City. She recently passed away in Chattanooga, and her family will host a celebration of life on January 17, 2026, at Heritage Funeral Home in Columbia.
