So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

You should be paying attention to Tennessee.
The congressional race in the state’s seventh congressional district, which includes Nashville, is where cracks in Donald Trump’s base are starting to show.

The Epstein case is no hoax. Yesterday's testimonies, the House vote, and the Senate vote were all riveting--history being made in the course of a few hours. Made me think.

Trump's across-the-board losses yesterday are going to bring out the feral shrew in him (if you've never seen a furious shrew in a trap, you don't know how terrifying a 3-inch-long mammal can be).
He's going down. But we have a tough road ahead.

It takes less than a day to become frantic with hunger pangs. Children cry. Adults cry with them. If we want food for the hungry, we have to give up healthcare, says the GOP.
Does anyone now think that Republican politicians care one bit about the rest of us?
Hint: They do not.
