Georgia's only openly Jewish General Assembly representative, Esther Panitch, was certainly emotional over the weekend, on the heels of Hamas' deadly and often grisly terror attack on Israel. She admitted yesterday one of her tweets, targeting "The Squad," was "beneath" her and her office. I'm pleased she came to this realization.

Report cards are in, and Georgia gets a "D" - and this time we won't be having a governor holding a press conference over it. Georgia was one of 20 states with D or F grades on redistricting, and it joins a solid bloc of failing southern states.

My guest today is Louisiana native, now South Carolina resident, Lamar White. He's founder and writer of the Bayou Brief, and nine years ago broke the story that would-be House Speaker Steve Scalise attended a white supremacist event in suburban New Orleans. We discuss the timeline and fallout from that and pending judicial roles in SC and LA Congressional maps & more.

Then, yesterday being National "Coming Out" Day, I share my coming out story from 26 years ago.
