“The bill would not apply to trade organizations and public policy groups formed before 1950. Democrat Eric Gisler, a Watkinsville Democrat, argued that those guidelines would exclude groups like the National Rifle Association, which was founded in 1871, from being subject to disclosure”

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...

Gonna be real interesting to see how that coveted Trump endorsement pays out given the direction he’s taking the country. With any luck, this is just a race to see who gets their click cleaned by Ossoff next year. If any of these jerks manage to win, we’re all screwed.

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.

NY & CA both implemented independent redistricting commissions to reduce gerrymandering, and it cost Dems US House seats. If TX and FL purposely and openly redistrict for the express purpose of creating more safe R seats, CA & NY should do the same for Dems.

Today, for me, it’s finding out that Alligator Auschwitz is run by the state of Florida and just reimbursed by the Feds. So the DHS/ICE and FL can point fingers at each other and evade accountability. As if its very existence were disgusting enough. They know what they are doing.

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."

I really don’t get the hate for primaries, on both sides of the aisle. Primaries raise awareness and make better candidates. I do think that GA should abandon its runoff system though. That drags it out too long.

Republicans in the GA Assembly and Public Service Commission are stealing from you to give to big tech. Hold them accountable. PSC Primary on 6/17!
