Who am I?
Most recently, I was digital lead for CBS Owned CWs WUPA/WTOG/KSTW (ATL/TPA/SEA) and helped launch the Car Chase TV channel. Before that I was lead writer for The Streamable, and spent over 15 years as digital EP at Tegna’s WXIA in Atlanta with bylines from USA Today & AP while there.

Opinion: Zohran Mamdani, socialist menace?
Nearly a century ago, another socialist was elected NYC mayor. He did a pretty good job.

He wants to dictate what the press can say.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

Everything's on the table.
Republicans are using every method they can, whether it's cheating or breaking the law.
We've got to do everything we can to stand up and fight back — we're not sitting around and complaining from the sidelines when we have the ability to stop them.
