I might not look like most people in Washington. And that’s fine by me.

On today's show, @JasmineForUS says it was made clear in yesterday's Epstein files roundtable that the implications extend well past the powerful in the U.S. Plus, she discusses the bipartisan effort to make these files public despite opposing pressure from the White House.

The Senate is broken and needs people like Sherrod fighting for working families, veterans, and the folks who built this great country. We badly need good leadership in DC and I know Sherrod's the man for the job. Rooting for ya from Big Sandy, my friend.
Standing up for workers. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. Working as hard as possible for the people of Ohio. I've tried to live my life by those principles. But these days that's not what's happening in Washington—so I'm running for Senate.

Pat Williams was a serious policymaker who had the unique ability to insert comedy and fun into serious issues. He was somebody I greatly admired who served our great state for his entire life. Sharla and I send our love to the Williams family.

Jeff Ament’s views on music, politics and life were much appreciated. This is truly a guy who worked hard everyday, mastered his craft and ended up as the bass player for one of America’s most iconic bands. Full conversation at groundedpodcast.substack.com…

I want to thank our servicemen and women for protecting our Constitution and our democracy. We wouldn’t have the best country that exists in the world without their sacrifice for our country.

I appreciate @JoeBiden’s years of service to this country as Senator, VP and President. I especially appreciate President Biden’s work to bring our floundering economy back from the previous administration’s short sighted policies. We are sending our thoughts to the Biden family.
