I’m reading the book, Shameless. It’s excellent and easy to read. Cohen is a very good, focused and clear writer. The book is well researched.

Brian Cohen is a fantastic sane voice and guiding light in the current absurdly chaotic tempest that is modern US politics.

Everybody finally is realizing and starting to say ''Donald tRUMP is crazy.'' I've been saying it for over 30 years. He's never been well balanced, never.

Brian, our Hispanic brothers and sisters need to hear your message. Can you have it translated into Spanish?

If we want Kamala to win, we have to give her the tools to do so. People should volunteer, donate, do phone banking, do text banking, knock on doors, and write postcards, especially in the swing states of PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ, GA, and NC. You can also do the same for competitive Senate races in MT and OH so that Democrats keep control of the Senate and appoint new Supreme Court justices.

Phenomenal segment with a great person, author and HONEST independent media personality, BRIAN TYLER COHEN. More of HIM, please!

[PavlovsDog-yfwu]

Glad to see MSNBC tap into Cohen's commentaries. He has a clear, unjaded mind and exposes the heart of the matter without ego or embellishment.

It not that they're shameless they know their policies are vastly unpopular and absurd. At this point, they stop trying to justify their reasons.

[jdcochran]

Jonathan is right on point! 👍👏 Finally real, truthful and factual reporting in journalism! Vote Blue 💙💫💙💫💙💫🇺🇸 to put out the dumpster fire 🔥 of Trump and the GOP!

[cleverusername]

Been watching this guy for years, so proud of him for working his way up to ever larger platforms to spread his message. He's an excellent communicator, and the fact that he has regular series with the likes of Glenn Kirschner, Jamie Raskin, Mark Elias, and the fellas from PSA is a huge public service.
