The past 400 years

We need a new narrative on race in America — especially when it comes to telling the truth about the African American experience, friend.   Systemic racism — sanctioned by our government’s policies — has forced a disproportionate percentage of the African A…

Will you write a few notecards?

Last night in New Hampshire

Friend — Just as we saw in Iowa last week, last night’s results from New Hampshire show that the race for the Democratic nomination is wide open.   Until Nevada and South Carolina have the chance to vote, we won’t know which candidates will build a winning …

Call on the DNC to include more polls

Friend, I was extremely disappointed to see that the Democratic National Committee has narrowed the polling window significantly in order to qualify for the upcoming debate in Las Vegas.    Right now, only polls conducted during the DNC’s tight timeframe qual…

It’s the economy, stupid

After last night’s debate, here’s the hard truth: We're going to have to take Donald Trump down on the economy.    That’s what I said last night, and I meant it. Every single day, Trump is crowing about the economy, and he's going to beat us unless we can t…

I urge you →

There’s only one way forward, now.   In the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, the United States Senate has just voted to acquit him of crimes against our democracy. They chose a cover-up instead of a true trial, and in doing so, they failed us. They failed…

Donald Trump just lied

Tonight, Donald Trump gave his State of the Union address to the nation. He looked the American people right in the eye and lied to us. We know what’s been true since he got behind that podium one year ago, and what’s been true every day since January 20, 20…
