Dom Kelly, co-founder, President and CEO at New Disabled South, penned a social media post days ago that caught my attention. In it, he connected the dots between recent Trump administration statements and policy changes that bear out this truism: if you're disabled, you'll *have* to work to receive Medicaid if you're "able-bodied," and they'll let your employer pay you a 'sub-minimum wage' simultaneously.While some states (including Georgia) won't allow anyone

Fire ants, Supreme Court smackdowns, and a horny cat named Balder—just another Friday livestream with Keith, Rebecca, and Brad. The Dios Mio Trio tackles the full spectrum: from AI brain fog and heatwave hysteria to cringey courtrooms, wild animal clips, and media meltdowns. ChatGPT meets MIT skepticism. Disability Pride Night at a Cardinals game becomes a PR disaster. And yes, a lawyer calls a judge "honey."Chapters:00:00 Show Open & Updates02:40 Weather, Heat & Climate Panic08:19

Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones finally made it public: he's running to be the state's next governor, and did so with a well-produce, trope-riddle campaign video that checked off all the rudimentary Republican campaign ad must-haves: a truck, driving from a lovely exurban home, through the wandering highways of rural-esque Georgia, walking the grounds with the entire family in tow, chatting it up with some guy wearing a cowboy hat and walking a horse, etc.It also included some other

Georgia state House Rep. Ruwa Romman has been a busy little bee of late, speaking in Philadelphia at a massive "No Kings Day" protest and going door-to-door campaigning the Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdni in that city's primary election season.I caught up with her for a full show conversation about her ascendant profile, along with the intra-party tug-of-war between establishment and progressive Democrats (and the gettable voters just outside the party waiting to embrace it.

Former Georgia Lieutenant Governor, former Republican, Geoff Duncan, appeared on the Atlanta Journal Constitution's "Politically Georgia" podcast earlier this week to hawk his centrist overtures (again) to Democrats, only this time, he's hinted at receiving calls from 'folks across the state' (sure, dude) to run for governor - as a Democrat. "I've heard the rumor," he said. Sorry, if he has, he's the first.When asked, he said “I’m certainly not going to

Sorry I'm late to posting this week; I'd actually planned to take the four-day week into the three-day holiday weekend off, but "one big beautiful" legislative disaster has spawned this internal need to stay at it, this week.As did Thom Tillis' floor speech over the weekend, followed by his announcement he'd not seek re-election in 2026. Suddenly, Democrats have an opportunity in North Carolina to pick up a Senate seat in an otherwise bleak Senate cycle for them.As

Bernie Sanders idd what former VP Kamala Harris didn't - he went (back) on Joe Rogan's podcast last week, and it was illuminating to listen to the host - a prior Sanders supporter in 2016 - agree with the progressive Senator on a range of issues - most notably the ridiculousness of a still-$7.25 per hour minimum wage. Now, it wasn't all coziness; Rogan doesn't see an issue with unfettered sums of cash influencing elections, but Sanders had to plenty to say on that - as did I

And here's your daily dose of talkbacks! Introducing... the Michael Brown "Talkback Cat" aka "Talkcat!"

From elation to concern to outright hyperbolic right wing smear, reaction to Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary is all over the spectrum. Naturally, progressives are elated and believe the result portends a progressive-led blue wave for 2026 and beyond; establishment Democrats seem a little angst-riddled, fearful an ascendent democratic socialist (eek! That word!!!) could be a point of attack from the right, and of course, the right and their President, who are

On this, the third anniversary of the Trump-packed Supreme Court's 'Dobbs' decision overturning 'Roe v Wade,' it's notable that abortion rates are actually up in states with and without abortion bans on the books, according to a recent study. Still, pro-choice activists and Georgia Democrats made their case throughout the day that women deserve the right to bodily autonomy. On with me today to discuss the state of women's reproductive rights in Georgia and the U.S. is

Retired Coker University sociology professor, author , historian and South Carolina Democratic Congressional candidate Mal Hyman joined me today for a deep-dive conversation on all the potential ramifications for the weekend's big headline: The U.S. bombed nuclear sites in Iran. Iran, today, fired missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar, by the way. Mal's been to the Middle East multiple times and brought a lot of knowledge on history between Iran and Israel as well Iran and the United States - the

Quentin Pullen - aka "Coach Q" - has made a run at politics but currently hails as a fitness coach & movement therapist. I sense serving constituents isn't off the table for him, though, and he's spent a lot of time as an activist and organizer with the Georgia 50501 chapter. He joined me today to provide his perspective - as a former Marine and Californian - on all that's going on in Los Angeles - with Marines and National Guard troops there at the behest of President

Jim Kessler, executive vice president for policy with Third Way Democrats, had given a data-laden presentation at the 2025 Ideas Summit in Atlanta last spring. His data? Strong. His takeaways? Ehh.Naturally this progressive has some different perspectives, but I reached out to Jim to come on the show and he graciously did so. Jim believes Democrats have to avoid trying to 'ace' special interest group questionnaires and answering questions no one is asking. I don't disagree, but we also

Brian Recker, a former Marine, former evangelical pastor, current theologian, speaker and writer, has developed a healthy social media following and solid presence on Substack. His focus? Deconstructing his faith to find a more inclusive spirituality - which often runs afoul of today's right-wing aligned American evangelical movement. He's just the kind of guest to discuss the 'Ted Cruz v. Tucker Carlson' dust-up over Cruz' limp grasp on scripture he believes commands him (and

Maura Keller, a former Army lieutenant colonel with 26 years in service, is another Georgia Democrat (the third I've talked to on this show this month) who's taking another run at MAGA representation in Congress. Like Shawn Harris and Lexy Doherty, she, too, has a prodigious gap to close at the ballot box in her district (Georgia's 3rd). Wednesday, we discussed the ways to do that, the issues that matter most to her district's voters, her thoughts on sloppy military leadership at the

In 2024, Lexy Doherty stepped up to walk into the MAGA buzzsaw and lost to Rep. Mike Collins by more than 26%. Undeterred, she's making another go of it in 2025, getting an early jump on fundraising and campaigning. Lexy joined me today to share her insights on how things can work in her favor in seventeen months. ------Lost in all the antics from Saturday was this: there's a trend, locally and nationally, to protests becoming chaotic.
