Not surprisingly, the cancel culture of Sinclair Broadcasting has hit locally. Kudos to my buddy Tommy Spina for speaking out. He’s had a great run speaking truth to power but I guess my appearance w/him was just too much for them. On to his new podcast! al.com/news/birmingha…
It is the anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Honor the memories of those four young girls who were killed by imploring leaders to dial back the hateful rhetoric. Let me explain what I mean x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
It is a shame that someone who once enjoyed bipartisan support has lost all credibility by defending Trump’s “shoot the messenger” way of governing. Fallout continues from Trump’s firing of a top labor official - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
I love it when I get the chance to meet a hero in person. For those who don’t follow Susan Perri you should. She has had such health challenges over the last few years but she perseveres, she advocates and she inspires. It was awesome to finally meet her. @Perri4health
Louise and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Annette Shelby, the wife of my former colleague Sen. Richard Shelby. She was truly a remarkable lady whose life made an impact on so many. Our sincere condolences and prayers go out to Richard and the entire Shelby family.…
Look folks, this is nothing more than an empty gesture. Don’t fall for it. Means nothing. There is nothing under the exceptions under Rule 6e that applies here. Moreover, GJ “transcripts’ will only reveal stuff about Epstein, not too much about others. Transcripts are not…
President Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. ABC News' Mary Bruce reports from the White House. abcnews.link/3WK0r0Y
Happy Independence Day folks! Between the parades and fireworks take some time to just reflect. Reflect on the world changing moment 249 years ago today. Reflect on our trials and tribulations and what it means to be a real American. The American Identity Project seeks to…

A profound statement on what it means to be American this 4th of July
I am telling you folks, @chefjoseandres is spot on here. The idea of bringing these stories to life through COMICS by my friend @andrewaydin is absolutely brilliant. Please go to the kickstarter link and contribute in any way you are comfortable. These folks still need our help
Amazing project! Lifting up the voices of the people of western North Carolina…hurricane survivors telling their own stories…through COMICS. I love it! Please consider supporting their kickstarter…I did! kck.st/3HHimV5
As usual @traecroder nails it! Watch this through and you’ll see what I mean. Republicans from red states are no longer conservative, no longer a party with a political ideology. Loyalty to Donald Trump is their only guide, all at the expense of so many of their constituents
On the Senate passing Trump’s (very stupidly named) Big Beautiful Bill
Hey folks, tune in tomorrow-or better yet, come if you can if you’re in the DC area-for the 2nd installment of @amprog’s “Democracy on the Line” with a great line up of panelists w/me: Jim Acosta, Abbe Lowell and Dean William Treanor. Check it out below americanprogress.org/events/democra…
What happened today to a United States Senator is outrageous and the so-called justifications by the Adminstration are total BS! Here’s why
For those who want to tune in on X you csn join us here at 1 pm EDT x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Those who care about democracy should pay close attention to the events in LA. Is the USA sleepwalking toward authoritarianism? Are we already there? Please join me tomorrow as I discuss this and more with experts Heather Cox Richardson & Steven Levitsky. americanprogress.org/events/droppin…

With his pardons, which are more self serving for himself than the criminals he has pardoned, and his decison to ignore white collar crime, Trump has essential “de-funded the federal police.” nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/… nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/… via @NYTimes
At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live. axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-…
On this Memorial Day please take a break from your beer and BBQ and read the piece below. And then refelct. The title is as provocative as the content: Are we worthy of their sacrifice? Did they die so that a President could so brazenly, and many would argue corruptly, sell…
If there is one thing that I know about @JoeBiden from our many years of friendship, it that he is a fighter. Louise and I will continue to lift up Joe and Jill in our prayers as they face the challenges ahead as we wish him the speediest of recoveries.
