Conservative radio host Erick Erickson on Senator Jon Ossoff: You talk to farmers in South Georgia, they can get him on the phone. They can get his staff on the phone. They can get help. You talk to Republicans in Houston County, very Republican part of the state, they know they can reach out to Ossoff, and he doesn't care that they're Republican. If they need something, he's going to get it done.
What an amazing performance by this young man. I had a Yo-Yo, but never imagined doing anything like this as a kid, never as an adult. The support he received from the other kids was rather telling and a reminder that we can celebrate one another without fear or hate. #GoodStuff
Sen. Warnock backs his Senate colleague … and several Democrats in tough runoffs: Josh McLaurin for lieutenant governor and Penny Brown Reynolds for SoS. #gapol
At 100 years old, WWII veteran Bernie Smoot still drives his convertible Ford Mustang to play golf five days a week, shoots in the low 80s and shares wisdom from 74 years in the game: “You live to play golf. But to reach my age, you play golf to live.”
To celebrate Bernie — who landed at Omaha Beach just months after graduating high school — his PGA Coach and friend Jeff Maynor organized a tournament in his honor at the University of Maryland Golf Course, where Bernie plays five days a week.
Maynor, the course’s PGA Director of Golf, has run a @PGAHOPE program there for Veterans since 2019, which Bernie loves to support. The tournament for Bernie was a chance for those Veterans to thank him and celebrate his love for the game.
🚨 🇺🇸MAJOR BREAKING: They are marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge again.
61 years after Bloody Sunday. The same bridge. The same fight.
Today in Selma, thousands are gathering at the spot where Alabama state troopers beat peaceful Black marchers in March 1965.
That beating shocked the country into passing the Voting Rights Act five months later.
This week the Supreme Court finished gutting it.

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House.
Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:
@butterworth_jim Butter, thanks for sharing “baby”. Yep, I used those words pointedly as I read your latest post. Spot on my friend. Life is filled with tremendous lessons. Thank you for sharing your 60th with all of us….. In Jesus’ Great Name!!
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
