@Lisabrochester told me about the moment President Biden found her in the hospital after her husband passed away. Nobody asked him to call, he just did. That's who Joe Biden is. That's the kind of leadership we need more of. Full episode here: https://youtu.be/o9EmPKw7hmc

New episode with Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester. She talked about losing her husband at 52, her viral January 6th prayer that stopped the country, and why she believes we take back the Senate in November. Watch the full conversation here:https://youtu.be/o9EmPKw7hmc

I was able to say goodbye and give thanks.
For the inspiration.
For the advice.
For the unwavering belief in young leaders like me.
I am somebody because he was somebody.
Rest in Power, Rev. Jesse Jackson.
We will keep hope alive.

We’re joined by Eliana Pinckney, daughter of the late Rev. Clementa Pinckney, to reflect on the Charleston massacre’s lasting impact and her father’s legacy of love, service, and civic duty. Eliana takes us back to being 11 and honors her mother’s quiet strength. She then talks about what it’s like to be part of the 9/11 generation shaped by gun violence, living with vigilance and exhaustion while “thoughts and prayers” continue to replace policy. We also talk about civic education, performative politics, and how Eliana turns art into activism and community into change.

An unforgettable evening in South Carolina celebrating our 46th President, @JoeBiden.

This one is personal. I have seen his heart & steadiness up close. When so much felt uncertain, he chose hope & faith in America.

Grateful to work w/ AJ Lenar & @christalespain.bsky.social on this tribute video.

Leadership, Kindness, and Cynicism Leadership requires holding anger and hope in the same hand without dropping either. That’s harder than it sounds.

Leadership—at least the kind that I know to be effective—requires holding anger and hope in the same hand without dropping either. That’s harder than it sounds.

Had Governor Newsom live at our table this week from South Carolina. We went deep — his upbringing, the moments that broke him and rebuilt him, and where he thinks this country is headed if we don't step up. Watch the full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/pGFFbdbHkE4

"2026 is an echo of 2006." We take back the House. We take back the Senate. We set up 2028.
Full conversation with Governor Newsom here: https://youtube.com/live/pGFFbdbHkE4

Truly enjoyed last night's live At Our Table with Governor Newsom in South Carolina. He talked about his mom's last breath, his dyslexia, marrying same-sex couples before it was legal, and why 2026 is an echo of 2006. https://www.youtube.com/live/pGFFbdbHkE4?si=Mjk4-uoV0TCs6H-4

We sit down with U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas for a deeply honest conversation about power, justice, and urgency. We trace her path from public defender and civil rights attorney to Congress and discuss how her current U.S. Senate run is rooted in lived experience and hard math. Rep. Crockett also explains why the system is designed to stay broken, why Black and Brown voters are key to changing Texas, and why waiting for permission is not an option when democracy is on the line. And throughout our conversation, she challenges the party’s comfort with “electability” narratives. "Beto couldn't do it. So how can Jasmine do it?"

He didn’t win the nomination. He changed the future.

Rest in power, Rev.

There would be no Ron Brown, no Donna Brazile, no Barack Obama, no Jaime Harrison as America came to know us — without Jesse Jackson first expanding what felt possible.

He had not won the nomination — but he had won our imagination.

“America is not a blanket woven from one thread…”

To a poor Black kid from South Carolina, that was permission to dream.

Rev. Jackson didn’t just run for President. He made it real. He widened the path.

Today we lost a giant.

My first real political memory was watching Rev. Jesse Jackson speak at the 1988 Democratic Convention with my grandfather in Orangeburg, South Carolina.
