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.”

America's worth fighting for. I urge Democrats, Republicans, and independents to stand up, fight back, and hold this President accountable before he changes our way of life — for good. - Senate Minority Leader Jones II

Just days after America's 250th birthday, the President shared an un-American plan to steal elections and destroy the very idea that gives this country life. Believe him. We saw him try on January 6, 2021. He will do it again.

🚨 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.

“Gov. Kemp figured out how to pay for a tax cut that gives a handout to people making $2 million+ each year. He figured out how to help failson Derek Dooley make the runoff. If he can’t figure this one out, listen to Mayor Bottoms and extend the holiday.”

“That $300 million would’ve funded stronger public safety, created more affordable health care, helped rural hospitals stay open, given seniors better caregiving options, housed homeless veterans, fed hungry children, and protected victims of domestic violence.

“Mayor Bottoms is absolutely right. We must extend the holiday. Governor Kemp and his Republican cronies rushed to cut $300 million for a tax cut that even the bill author said wasn’t for the middle class.

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 Voting Rights Act changed Georgia. Now Black officials fear ‘the worst.’

It strips political power from every single middle and working class person and hands it over to billionaires and big corporations. That's what redistricting means for you."

“Let's sum it up for everybody. The biggest bloc of middle and working class voters are Black people. When Republicans strip Black people's political power away, it doesn't just strip one community of power.

"Most parties would try out some new ideas. Republicans choose to strip political power from Black people and undo the progress the South made in the last 60 years.

"June will be our third redistricting since 2021. Republicans need to undo their last gerrymander because it wasn't good enough to keep their waffling political party in power.

🚨 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
