Reminder that GA’s “#1 place to do business” ranking comes from Area Developer magazine. We’re at the bottom in so many areas that make life livable. I’m not anti data center, but the tax revenue we’ve thrown away could have helped a lot of our residents. www.ajc.com/opinion/2026...

As someone with a bit of experience working in tech, “Move fast and break things” is great if you are a tech disrupter. Not great in a government that people depend on. We need to move fast and FIX things.

This is totally the weaponization of government and they are are targeting Kilmer Abrego García. But he *did* cross the border illegally, and deportation *is* a punishment for that under US law. As long as his rights are respected, it is stupid and unnecessary, but that’s what people voted for.

It is beyond embarrassing that Vladimir Putin comes to US soil, tells the President of the United States that he won in 2020 and that voting by mail is “corrupt”, and said President of the United States spends the next week declaring war on mail in ballots. He’s getting played. Again.

MAGA is so pro free market that they want to nationalize private chip makers. Remember when they all accused Obama of “socialism” for bailing out auto makers (which was a loan that was paid back with interest)? The stupid. It hurts.

I should not be surprised, but the level of audacity and the sheer lack of self awareness that MAGA Republicans are willing to put out there is truly astounding. This can’t be real life.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget. Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge. Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. "Fiscal responsibility."

For 21 session days, not a single Democratic bill has been heard in committee. That's 21 out of 40 days where the GOP has blocked your elected officials from lowering everyday costs, or investing in our children, and their public education. Simply put, this is obstruction. #gapol

I haven’t read this article, but it is a good example of something I’d like to see media organizations do differently. Replace “Trump” with “President of the United States” “President of the United States’ Energy Policy is Full of Contradictions - on Purpose” It hits different, and is accurate.
