Burt Jones: “It does really kind of disgust me that you have one private company that's used taxpayer dollars to basically triple the costs of healthcare in this state … I don't mind calling out Jackson Healthcare for being the culprit of our healthcare costs” Even Burt Jones gets it. #gapol

Leader Jones released the following on the passing of Charles Walker: “Charles Walker was the first Black Majority Leader in Georgia’s history and has been a force in Augusta politics for decades. He was also a personal friend. I’m praying for his family during this difficult time of mourning.”

🚨 Donald Trump just told us that he wants to steal elections. America doesn't work that way. The President and his Epstein Class buddies don't pick and choose who wins elections. The People do. *That* is how America works.

Let’s set the record straight. Things that are real: - Trump lost in 2020. - Ossoff and Warnock won free and fair elections. - There is an affordability crisis. Things that aren’t real: - Voter fraud cost Trump the 2020 Election. - Whatever the MyPillow guy believes - Inflation is good.

We are saddened by the passing of Larry Pellegrini, a giant of Georgia's progressive movement in Georgia. Larry was a pioneer of LGBTQ+ advocacy at the Capitol and has shaped generations of organizers and leaders under the Gold Dome.

Fact: Georgia’s actual state minimum wage is still set at $5.15 an hour, a rate decided 29 years ago in 1997. Since then, the overall cost of living in Georgia has skyrocketed by 109%. Groceries that cost $100 back then cost over $212 today. Georgia families deserve a raise. #gapol

4 years after SCOTUS overturned Roe, we’re seeing the impacts right here in Georgia: preventable maternal deaths and soaring healthcare costs. Yet, GA Republicans just nominated a billionaire who demands women prove they were raped to get care, and a nepo baby who rejects exceptions entirely.

On June 19, 1865, word arrived in Galveston, Texas, that the last enslaved Black Americans were finally free. Juneteenth is a celebration of that liberation. But it is also a reminder that freedom is never free, and it never goes on sale. Happy Juneteenth!

Trump just reminded us why Republicans are rigging maps: they have absolutely no clue how the economy works. They can’t deliver for working Georgians, so they gerrymander to protect their careers.

Senate Minority Leader Jones II is demanding that Governor Kemp extend the gas tax holiday: “Georgia Republicans love Donald Trump’s reckless war. And they don’t care that you are paying for it at the gas pump. Why else would Governor Kemp kill the gas tax holiday at midnight tonight?

🚨 The latest AJC poll proves what we already knew: inflation is the #1 issue for Georgians. Yet the GOP supports: 1) Trump’s billion-dollars-a-day war raising gas prices, 2) hiking sales taxes on gas, groceries, and beer, 3) refusing federal dollars to expand Medicaid and lower healthcare costs

🚨 Former FTC Chair Lina Khan’s message is clear: state governments have the enforcement power to break up monopolies. That’s why Sen. Sonya Halpern is calling for funding of a study committee on free and fair markets. It’s time for Georgia to step up to the plate like other states across the U.S.
