Last night I became Georgia Democrats’ nominee for Lieutenant Governor. I’m honored to have this chance to chart a new course for Georgia state government for the first time in 20 years. Very grateful to my friends and supporters for the hard work to get this far. Let’s get it done in November.

Rodney Taylor is free!!
Graphic showing Rodney at the airport with his wife Mildred - the text says after 15 months in ICE detention he is finally free. The family thanks everyone who protested, shared, donated, etc. and asks for privacy at this time. For context, Rodney was detained with serious medical conditions and was not receiving adequate care in detention.

Really grateful to have the Georgia AFL-CIO’s endorsement in my race for Lieutenant Governor. As income/wealth inequality and corporate greed keep getting worse, it matters immensely to have the trust of working people in building a campaign to fight back. Thankful to my friends in organized labor.

And here… we… go
Stephen Miller tweet excerpt: “A district court judge has no conceivable authority, whatsoever, to restrict the President and Commander-in-Chief from dispatching members of the US military to defend federal lives and property.

Today’s judicial ruling is one of the most egregious and thunderous violations of constitutional order we have ever seen — and is yet the latest example of unceasing efforts to nullify the 2024 election by fiat.”

I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows. Imagine being a CDC employee going to work under these conditions

There’s a reason Democrats are 30 points underwater with registered voters. We have to show urgency (personally and convincingly) and give voters something to believe in.

Crazy to think that nowadays leaning into celebrating someone’s “empathy” is picking a side in a live controversy

Georgia is trying to do a state-level DOGE, which Republicans are calling “red-tape rollback.” I’m putting this on the desk of every senator tomorrow, so we can be clear what we’re talking about.

Several House Dems and I just had a press conference with families affected by Chris Carr’s lawsuit to try to eliminate Section 504 disability accommodations. Carr’s office has denied the lawsuit seeks to end 504 entirely, but it’s right there in the complaint. Carr should dismiss the lawsuit now.

@ruwa4georgia.bsky.social and I started a new weekly update show called “What’s on Fire” over on IG - we invite you to go check it out! Episode 1 was about federal court orders, funding freezes, bad state-level bills in Georgia, and Waffle House eggs.

Danielle Sassoon’s resignation letter as acting US attorney for SDNY. Danielle is a patriot and a hero. She and I obviously have different political leanings. That matters so little right now. We are on the same team in the fight that matters. May we all have the integrity of Danielle.

This guy is testing the American public gently to see how ready they are to ignore court rulings. With the way Trump/Musk are doing business, that’s kind of their only path forward.
