Singing this North Carolina gospel tune with my sister Lalenja at Biscuits & Banjos was a deeply moving moment for me. Lalenja and I have been singing together since I was about 4, and I don’t think I’ve ever done a show in North Carolina that she hasn’t sung on since.

President Trump and his administration have touted D.C.’s 12-day stretch without a homicide as “the first time that’s taken place in years."

That's false. Here's the data:
How rare was D.C.’s 12 days homicide-free? Not as rare as Trump says.
Trump touted the homicide-free streak as “the first time that’s taken place in years”, but the District went 16 days without a killing stretch earlier this year.

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

Dispatches from the road: Traiblazing Women of Country Tour edition… as I sit in the van headed to Billings, MT from Butte, I can honestly say I am having a ball on this tour. There’s nothing like spending time with funny, kind, authentic, and talented as hell musicians.
