New Georgia House Minority Leader Carolyn Hugely let it be known she's not well with Senator Jon Ossoff. She unleashed on him while on WABE's "Politically Georgia" podcast earlier this week, but I must admit, I felt the need to finger-wag a bit in her direction. I mean, is this necessary? Why is she picking a fight with a U.S. Senator up for re-election in two years? What concession(s) has she come to based on one person's characterization in a two-person conversation? Not cool; not the time.While

MSNBC has been hemorrhaging audience share since election night, which isn't altogether surprising except - now that liberals and progressives are re-evaluating how their messaging should travel and be delivered, this may be a permanent dip. Well, it can't help that "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski shlepped to Mar-A-Lago to "kiss the ring" last weekend, and admitted as much on Monday morning. "Why wouldn't we?" Mike responds. She then timelines this "political warfare" back a

Whole lot of 'ugly' coming out folks after Donald Trump's election win. Locally, people have been getting racist text messages. Then there's two of his Cabinet picks - both with prior sexual assault claims dogging them. The anti-woke Pentagon pick is pretty noteworthy, no? Then, no big deal, but the nation's future top attorney is sweating a House Ethics panel report. Totally fine. Birds of a feather, right? Hey, whatever became of Billy Bush, anyway? Here in Atlanta, two suburban (and blue!)

I'll be honest; I had a guest lined up today and a late cancellation (no worries! We're re-booking) so today was a lot of me "winging it," but I'm not unhappy with the result. Your opinion may vary. :)Instead, the over-arching theme for this episode: "the American voter doesn't want to hear the truth." We can't handle reasons why student loan forgiveness triggers white working class voters - even more so when they're informed loan forgiveness assists students and graduates in marginalized subsets

Gerrymandering Georgia's map "played out just like Georgia Republicans intended" - as the Atlanta Journal Constitution deftly points out. The term isn't a sexy one, but as much as American voters hate government and "Congress" in particular, when can we have a discussion on eliminating what makes them so unpopular?Pete Hegseth is Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, much to the shock to this inside the Pentagon, Congress and in the retired ranks. That hasn't stopped some Trumpers from trying

A deep dive on Israel's PM Benjamin Netenyahu (the human equivalent of the "hang in there" cat).

Yesterday I channeled my mental and physical energies into re-arranging my bedroom and closet. I had to take my mind off the nation's descent into depravity for another four-year reign, somehow, and while I'm happy with the results, I awoke today knowing I needed to "keep going" - doing my part to help us regroup and refine and retool for 2026 and beyond.I came across Dr. Jack Zibluk's op/ed in the Atlanta Journal Constitution and reached out to him. He's a UT-Chattanogga communications and

Having spent the weekend trying to lift my spirits (no assist from the Georgia Bulldogs or Atlanta Falcons, I should add ...) netted mixed results, and I'm unable to shake social media just yet. Because of that, I noticed a few trends from likeminded folks that bother me a bit, so I answer to four reactions I'm seeing in hopes of pulling players back into the huddle, so to speak, so we can get back in the game and start moving the ball again. I do love a good sports analogy. Also, who'll lead us out

Nationally and locally (here in Georgia), liberals and progressives are starting to slowly come out of their depression caves to assess the damage and figure out who to blame. Georgia Democrats want change in the party, and say they've "never seen a more dysfunctional organization." I've never been shy in vocalizing my issues with the state party, either; they're difficult to collaborate with, give time to on this show for their candidates and advocates, and access media necessities from them in an

Darrel and I have known each other for about three decades now; we met when he served in the Air Force and was stationed in Augusta, Ga. We've been roommates here and there and best friends all that time. He's one of the most knowledgeable progressives not "in the system," so I made him hold onto his thoughts until I could rig up two mics in the kitchen we were having coffee talking in. This is our rambling, post-election conversation. We spoke of Hispanic voters in "the treehouse," the economic

So we awaken to what's pretty much "worst case scenario" this election cycle, and while we can (and will, later) nitpick how things went wrong, I thought it first useful to have a discussion about some hard truths we on the left need to start discussing - and openly.The first? The Constitution, for all its revery, is a deeply flawed document and folks like Elie Mystal (he calls it 'trash') are brave enough to say so; maybe more of us should, too. King Williams, author of "The Breakdown with King

Seeing Bruce Springsteen perform is something I've wanted to do since "Born in the USA" was blaring on the radio when I was a kid - or from my cassette player. Well, I missed him on his mini-tour with VP Kamala Harris yesterday in Clarkston, but I got to listen to it on the drive back from South Carolina, so it'll have to do. I have some of his music & statements to review.So it turns out the right wing trope about "illegal voters" is much ado about nearly nothing. Or 9 total, in Georgia, and

I've strayed from routinely watching "Real Time with Bill Maher," for a couple reasons: one, I just can't keep paying for all these streaming services (the show now re-airs on CNN, though) and he's too tone-deaf on trans issues for my taste. That said, on the economy, he was spitting facts on his last "new rule" prior to Election Day. The gist? The economy doesn't need saving; it's been saved. MAGA's have an alternate reality fog they won't see through and (I agree here) Democrats have been timid to

Caught '60 Minutes' last night as they spent 13-plus minutes detailing all the many and varied ways states like Georgia have exhaustively responded to election denialism. The consensus: it's nearly impossible to steal a Presidential election. Well, duh. Still, over the weekend, a handful of Georgia counties opened their doors to let absentee ballot-holders hand in those ballots - what with Louis DeJoy having wrecked the US Postal Service - much to the chagrin of various county GOP folks, the

There's reason for optimism the outcome on Tuesday night (we hope that early) may swing in Kamala Harris' favor if polling that's now including "early voted" responses are any indication. In that subset, Harris leads Trump by 19-29 points depending on the poll, and in all but one swing state by solid or even gaudy margins, too. Remember, too, that MAGA voters have come to embrace early voting more this cycle, meaning their closing these gaps on Election Day become muted. We'll see. From the

After the toxic spew that spouted from the podium Sunday at Madison Square Garden, of COURSE MAGA is going to clutch their pearls over a mis-interpretation of Joe Biden's characterization. To the point that Donald waddled (what's with his right leg?) up into a garbage truck for a photo op. There was the mainstream media to both lap it up and equivocate (falsely) of course. Spare me, and thanks to the Lincoln Project for their swift assemblage of clips where Donald's said "as bad or worse" about

The location and backdrop were perfect. The speech was spot-on, too. Today I review VP Kamala Harris' "closing argument" speech at the Ellipse between the White House and Washington Monument - the same park her opponent stirred up an angry mob on January 6, 2021.
