A Segregationist in the House
November 10, 2023Many are rejoicing that Republicans finally got around to electing a speaker, thus breaking the logjam that began when Trump acolyte Matt Goetz (R-FL) introduced legislation to eliminate Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Why Robinson should be concerned about the GOP-led legislature’s continued power grab
September 29, 2023Last week, when the Republican-led General Assembly finally, after an almost three-month delay, ratified a new $30 billion state budget, it was clear that this was yet another step towards draining more power away from the governor. However, if 2024 GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson was paying attention, then it had to dawn on him […]
Kamala scores a big one!
September 22, 2023So many things of interest happened this past week that it’s hard to know where to begin.
