What a Saturday it was! First, the I Love America rally and then a sweet, sweet Bama victory over the Vols. Can someone help me figure out how to get the audio of this as my new ringtone: https://t.co/tTYkAEiFQm

You know guys, the thing tyrants hate the most is when folks stand up to them with a smile on their face. Loved being with such a great crowd at the I Love America “Music Festival” in Birmingham yesterday!

Not surprisingly, the cancel culture of Sinclair Broadcasting has hit locally. Kudos to my buddy Tommy Spina for speaking out. He’s had a great run speaking truth to power but I guess my appearance w/him was just too much for them. On to his new podcast!

Host Tommy Spina was told on the same day that his community affairs program would end immediately, with his final guest being former Senator Doug Jones.

It is a shame that someone who once enjoyed bipartisan support has lost all credibility by defending Trump’s “shoot the messenger” way of governing. Fallout continues from Trump’s firing of a top labor official - The Washington Post

Kevin Hassett pointed to the scale of hiring data revisions when asked for evidence to support Trump’s claims that a jobs report was rigged to make him look bad.

I love it when I get the chance to meet a hero in person. For those who don’t follow Susan Perri you should. She has had such health challenges over the last few years but she perseveres, she advocates and she inspires. It was awesome to finally meet her. @Perri4health

Louise and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Annette Shelby, the wife of my former colleague Sen. Richard Shelby. She was truly a remarkable lady whose life made an impact on so many. Our sincere condolences and prayers go out to Richard and the entire Shelby family.

Look folks, this is nothing more than an empty gesture. Don’t fall for it. Means nothing. There is nothing under the exceptions under Rule 6e that applies here. Moreover, GJ “transcripts’ will only reveal stuff about Epstein, not too much about others. Transcripts are not
President Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. ABC News' Mary Bruce reports from the White House. https://t.co/BEKM3qIPhx

I am telling you folks, @chefjoseandres is spot on here. The idea of bringing these stories to life through COMICS by my friend @andrewaydin is absolutely brilliant. Please go to the kickstarter link and contribute in any way you are comfortable. These folks still need our help
Amazing project! Lifting up the voices of the people of western North Carolina…hurricane survivors telling their own stories…through COMICS. I love it! Please consider supporting their kickstarter…I did!

As usual @traecroder nails it! Watch this through and you’ll see what I mean. Republicans from red states are no longer conservative, no longer a party with a political ideology. Loyalty to Donald Trump is their only guide, all at the expense of so many of their constituents
