Even before Rick Jackson disrupted Georgia’s political landscape by announcing his surprise candidacy for governor, he was best known by the shorthand “healthcare executive.” But that description of the billionaire barely scratches the surface. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: In a win for Georgia voters, a state court dismissed a Republican lawsuit seeking to limit where mail-in ballots can be returned in Gwinnett County. The ruling preserves an additional way for voters in Georgia's second-most populous county to return their ballots before the midterms.
In the document, the heading reads "In the Superior Court of Gwinnett County State of Georgia." It involves the Republican National Committee, Gwinnett County Republican Party, and Tim Fleming as plaintiffs, and David Hancock and others as defendants, along with DSCC and Jon Ossoff for Senate as intervenors. The text is an order denying a motion for an interlocutory injunction and granting motions to dismiss. The document outlines the case concerning absentee ballot applications. The filing includes official stamps and electronic file marks.

Okay, this debate makes crystal clear why Rick Jackson only agreed to do one debate. He is awful. Just stumbling over his words saying nothing. But sadly, we are still a 50/50 state so he can still win. We have to vote yall #gagov #gapol

Most Americans think the federal government should increase spending on childcare, and Gen Z is the group most in favor of that change — especially Gen Z women. And according to a The 19th/@today.yougov.com poll, 29 percent of them favor care for young children that is fully government funded.

Americans of all ages want more federal help with childcare costs. Gen Z most of all.
New polling from The 19th and YouGov found that support for child care spending was particularly strong among Gen Z, reflecting how affordability shapes their future family planning.

Two thing can be true. The WH kicking out media it doesn’t like is absolutely a First Amendment violation. And There is little journalism of value to be found in the highly controlled, substance-free halls of power—wall-to-wall navel-gazing about one’s access probably being of the least value.
