Why is it that the media keeps saying that Trump is “attacking” RFK, Jr. He’s not- he’s branding. Trump’s concerned that folks may be seeing Jr as a MAGA alternative and that makes him very nervous. By branding him as liberal he makes RFK a politico.com/news/2024/04/2…

Today’s vote in the House is proof positive that a pro-democracy coalition can exist, even in the face of loud, obnoxious voices that regurgitate Putin’s talking points. The United States must continue to stand strong, both domestically and abroad, against forces that would

For the second time in a week we have lost another great statesman and one of my “New South” heros, former Arkansas governor and U.S Senator David Pryor. As a young newspaper editor he challenged the racist ways of Gov. Faubus and later became one of Arkansas’s great reformers.

MAGA: Biden should close the border!

Biden: I sent you a bipartisan bill to let me close the border.

MAGA: Yup. We killed it.

Biden: Why?

MAGA: Because it would have allowed you to close the border and that would hurt Trump.

Biden: But...

MAGA: CLOSE THE BORDER!!

There was lots of news yesterday but the endorsement of Joe Biden by the Kennedy family should not be overlooked or downplayed. It was both moving and momentous. It’s a shame how their sibling is diminishing the Kennedy name the way he is.

Congrats to Figures for Congress in securing the Democratic nomination for CG 2, the newly drawn district that will help Democrats take back the House. But we can’t take this seat for granted. It’s much closer than folks think. Shomari can do it but he needs your help!

Bob Graham was a great leader; a consensus builder and one of the post Jim Crow governors and Senators from the South whom I admired greatly. Louise Jones send our condolences to Gwen Graham and the entire Graham family and we thank them for sharing Bob Graham with us.

To all the people who are saying that President Biden isn’t strong enough and isn’t being forceful enough against Iran, please watch this video and then remind yourself that Iran attacked the United States under Donald Trump. This attack caused 109 troops to suffer brain

In 2022, a Democratic House approved 4 aid requests to Ukraine totalingi $75 billion. Since then, a Republican House has refused all aid to Ukraine. It's not 'the United States' that is abandoning its friends. It is the Trump Republicans. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

If the House GOP is as concerned about Iran as they say following the attack on Israel last night, they should immediately pass aid to both Israel and Ukraine as it is all related.

This is really pretty sad. First, he is wrong about the polls. Trump has never got 51% support in any poll or election. Never has, never will. Second, in anther part of the interview he shows how out of step he is with the Trump Republican Party. He says his choice to

Folks, this is critical. I wrote this op-ed because I fear we've lost our sense of history. If you think Putin will stop at Ukraine, you're mistaken.

And remember: Iran and China are also propping Russia up and we’re not talking about that enough either.

I know that there has been a lot of handwringing by Democrats in Alabama about the letter from the Sec of State saying that Joe Biden might not be on the ballot in November because the deadline for certification is before the Dem primary. But I really don’t believe that this was

The Arizona Supreme Court was not about to let the Alabama Supreme Court out MAGA them. Said it before and you will hear me say it again: this is coming to your state if you don’t get out there and organize and vote washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

It is absolutely imperative that Speaker Mike Johnson put aid to Ukraine to a vote this week. They simply cannot do this alone and America has to continue to be the leader in the fight for democracy. The tyranny of Putin, as backed by Iran, has to stop with Ukraine.

The decision by No Labels is clearly the right one. I’ve given them a hard time for entertaining the idea of running a ticket for President, but I’ve also said that their efforts to bring folks in Congress together are laudable. I hope they will refocus on that now.
