We missed you in our house Chris. Your essay is like a breath of Spring air and a glimpse that core values mattered and will matter again, as soon as this abomination of everything we stand for strokes out or chokes out on a Big Mac, preferably on love TV
Today we hear from Little Marco Rubio that we may just need to move on from Ukraine. Thats no way to negotiate with Putin but a way to encourage his heinous behaviors! This transparent abandonment of freedom fighting democracy is a disgrace beyond description. Will the GOP simply abandon the field of honor? Cut and run? Loose a war to a country with a GDP the size of Italy. Bone spur Trump and his crew of sycophants crass disregard of our dearest values are simply shameless. Will we see Ukrainian aid in the next big legislative package? Will the tax breaks for billionaires be the GOP’s sole claim to fame while freedom lies dead in a ditch like so many Ukrainians. I expect spines wont be grown in time but we have some hope. The power of the pen, our free press like a candle in the night…still flickers. Perhaps it can help strengthen the spines of GOP incumbents. May Chris’s words strike with effect and strengthen us all.
May Chris’s words strike with effect as we struggle for freedom and justice for all.
Welcome back! It’s truly a joy to see your voice reemerging in the public conversation. Your thoughtful, hard-hitting, and principled political commentary has been sorely missed. For years, Hardball was more than a show — it was a masterclass in political insight, candor, and courage. You challenged us to think more critically, to dig deeper, and to never shy away from the tough questions.
Your return is a breath of fresh air in a time when clear-eyed analysis and historical context are more essential than ever. I’m thrilled to see you bringing your perspective to Substack and look forward to reading every post. Thank you for stepping back in — your presence matters, your voice matters, and we’ve missed you.
All the best as you begin this exciting new chapter.
Yes Chris your voice was missed. I watched and learned from you on Hardball for years. I have happily subscribed to further encourage your work. I am seventy years old and remember the world as you do. Thus your perspective is very important to me.
