Thank you on the behalf of all us acid reflux people. Anything stronger than that black stuff that comes out of the pepper shaker bothers me.

I am not a lawyer, but I can read.

The 5'th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that NO PERSON shall be deprived of LIBERTY without DUE PROCESS OF the LAW.

=> Detention centers anywhere in the USA are ILLEGAL.

"Official ICE policy says 'ICE should not detain, arrest, or take into custody for an administrative violation of the immigration laws individuals known to be pregnant, postpartum, or nursing” except in exceptional circumstances.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president somedayβ€”it’s just a matter of time.

Governor Walz, the money you’re talking about from the government came from yours and my income taxes. That means we are going to be paying us for the damage that somebody else (Donald Trump) did. Huh!?

If you've got three minutes, I've got everything you need to know about the jobs report. What happened, what it means, how it'll shape your life, and what to look for going forward. Plus some wonky bits.

On my show, Voices from the Dirt Road, I talked about something we don’t say enough.

Farmers are hurting, often at higher rates than Veterans. If you’re a farmer, a Veteran, or love someone who is and things feel heavy, please call 988.

Just make it through today. The sun will come up tomorrow.

"The Professor Is in," is my attempt to step back from the news cycle and teach a bit of economics. This week: AI and the labor market. There's always more to say, but hopefully it lays out the key issues

I said it on Don Lemon’s show because it’s the truth.

I farm. I live this. And I see too many families across Northwest Georgia wondering if they’ll be the first generation to lose their land because Congress didn’t have their backs.

I will. #GA14

Every hardworking American deserves a fair shot, not just those at the top. The system is rigged in favor of the wealthy, and it's far past time we fix it. The middle class built this country, they shouldn't have to struggle just to get by.

I went to the nearest Barnes & Noble and awkwardly explained to someone at the help desk that I had a new book out and asked where it might be (it's genre fluid) and it was faced out (!) Then she took some pictures, had me sign their books, and said they'd already sold a copy. A win/win/win.

They’re nervous. And they should be.

We’re running the campaign that can bring #GA14 the leadership it deserves.

I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today.

I'm an immigrant.

I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.
