This was from yesterday’s ABC News Live. Last night was an full sweep for Democrats, full stop. But they can't let up if they want to try and dig themselves out of this hole. Momentum has no owners, only renters.

We’re about to see the wildest midterm election build-up in American history.

A judge had to tell the White House and federal government they couldn't weaponize food against their own citizens. Let that marinate the next time we hear “America First.”

He was our Marvin. He was our Prince. No one has ever, or perhaps ever will, embody the stage slogan “Virginia Is For Lovers” quite like D’Angelo. A VA legend. A VA icon. A VA blessing. Nowadays, we’re losing blessings quicker than we can count them.

There are so many ways to remember D’Angelo. So I wrote about him from the grief living in our home state. No person has ever embodied the phrase “Virginia Is Lovers” more. andscape.com/features/dan...

Went on ABC News to talk about this impending government shutdown. We’ve seen these before — and I hope I'm wrong — but this shutdown feels particularly dark given all the factors at play.

Just some food for thought on Derrick Henry’s running reign — and Baltimore’s obsession with the only thing King Henry’s yet to do in what could be a first-ballot Hall of Fame career.

Assuming no change, 2025 will be the first season where a division has four Black starting QBs for Week 1: NFC East. That is due to Russell Wilson joining the Giants. He will be the first Black QB to start Week 1 for NYG, the final franchise to check that box.

Happy 40th birthday, Nipsey Hussle 🏁🙏🏽

The world has changed so much over the last several years. Nip’s death is one of the moments for me when I felt it viscerally change. Nip, Kobe, then Covid was such a wicked trifecta 😞.
