"The Wake Forest Class of 1861 did not choose their time of calling. The Class of 1941 did not choose. The Class of 1968 did not choose. History chose them. And now history is calling you...." -Scott Pelley He was talking to all of us.

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Month. It’s as important as it’s ever been before.

Humanity only survives if it matches every advancement in technology with a deepening of the soul. Without clarity about ethics, without sensitivity to truth and beauty, we will quickly lose ourselves in a heartless hellscape of digital minds. Teach the humanities and the arts.

Truth

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

This work of art was created by Anja Rozen, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Slovenia. She was chosen from over 600,000 children worldwide to create a picture of peace - a shining symbol in an often torn world. Anja is the proud winner of the international Poster Miru competition - the poster of peace.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Hey, friends! If you wonder what you can do to work in rural America and small town spaces, here is an episode of "The Hot Dish" where I speak on red state politics. Where can you really make a difference? At the local level. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

In the complicated dance of human interactions, the boundaries between right and wrong can often blur and give way to a profound truth: The essence of understanding lies not in the search for absolutes, but in the willingness to accept different perspectives.

“If I had a room jammed with trophies and awards, and a child of mine came to me and asked what I had done in defence of black people, and I had to tell that child that I had kept quiet, I would have to mark myself a total failure at the whole business of living.” Jackie Robinson

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
