WASHINGTON — Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., said Monday that he will resign from Congress after it passes a massive policy bill to advance President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda.

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Congress. Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up,” Green said in a statement, adding that he notified Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that he would vacate his seat after the House’s next vote on the legislative package that’s currently in the Senate.

Once Green’s resignation takes effect, the House will have 219 Republicans and 212 Democrats.

The House has experienced significant turnover in recent months with retirements and deaths. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., died in May, and Democratic Reps. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Sylvester Turner of Texas died in March, while Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., resigned from his House seat at the beginning of the year to join the Trump administration.

Green, the chair of the Homeland Security Committee, represents a safe Republican district in Tennessee that covers middle and Western parts of the state, including parts of Nashville.

Green, a former Army medic first elected in 2018, had announced his intentions to retire during Congress’ previous session, but he reversed course weeks later. He won re-election in November with 59.5% of the vote.

According to Tennessee law, Republican Gov. Bill Lee must order a special election within 10 days of Green’s resignation, set a date for primary elections to occur within 55 to 60 days from the resignation and schedule a subsequent general election to take place within 100 to 107 days.

As chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, Green oversaw impeachment proceedings against Alejandro Mayorkas, who was former President Joe Biden’s secretary of homeland security. The impeachment vote fell short on the House floor.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A runaway pet zebra that was on the loose for more than a week in Tennessee and became an internet sensation in the process was captured Sunday, authorities said.

Ed the Zebra was captured safely after being located in a pasture near a subdivision in the Christiana community in central Tennessee, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office confirmed. The sheriff’s office said aviation crews captured the zebra.

“Ed was airlifted and flown by helicopter back to a waiting animal trailer,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Video posted by the sheriff’s office shows Ed wrapped in a net with his head sticking out as he is carried by the helicopter to the trailer.

Ed arrived in Christiana on May 30, the sheriff’s office said. His owner reported him missing the next day.

The zebra was spotted and filmed running along Interstate 24, forcing deputies to shut the roadway. But Ed escaped into a wooded area.

There were several sightings posted to social media. Ed was filmed trotting through a neighborhood.

The zebra quickly became the subject of internet memes. One fake posting showed Ed dining at a Waffle House, a southern staple. Others had him visiting other Tennessee cities or panhandling on the side of the road.

The pursuit of Ed came a month after a runway kangaroo shut down a section of Alabama interstate.

Tennessee baseball can extend its season with a win in Game 2 of the Fayetteville Super Regional against Arkansas on June 8.

The Vols (46-18) managed just two hits in the Game 1 loss, 4-3 to the Razorbacks on June 7. But ace Liam Doyle is the probable starting pitcher for Game 2.

Arkansas (47-13) put together 10 hits in Game 1, including a two-run home run by Ryder Helfrick to take the lead in fifth inning.

If the Razorbacks win, they will advance to the College World Series in Omaha next weekend. If the Vols win, Tennessee and Arkansas will play a deciding Game 3 on June 9 with time yet to be announced.
