Interesting piece breaking down how a Georgia Democrat flipped a safely Republican state House seat.

A really fascinating journey through the AJC history with Georgia's top politicians. It hasn't always (or ever) been easy.

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has abruptly announced her resignation from Congress effective Jan. 5. Read more here: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

New poll shows what you might expect. Trump is extremely unpopular with Democrats in Georgia and extremely popular with Republicans. Dig into the numbers here.

Something strange is happening at Planned Parenthood Southeast. Former executives and staffers say the interim CEO doesn't appear to support the mission or even understand it. Read more:

What's up with Marjorie?

Five Southern states have open races for governor in 2026. The outcome of those elections will determine the political character of the region and the future of the MAGA movement.

A really disturbing look at hunger in the U.S. and why we may not know if it's getting better or worse.

The Democrat running for in a special Georgia state Senate election last month lost handily, but the party sees signs for hope in the gains she made over the last election in that district.

I’ve had a lot of people say they were sorry to hear The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was ending print publication, but no one has said they don’t understand why. We live in a different time, and the AJC has to meet readers where they are. (Typed with the Saturday paper in my lap.) Source: Pew

Republican state lawmakers in Georgia are studying a wish list of changes to voting access.

The governor of Georgia is sending 300 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to assist in Trump's federal intervention.

“You are a hazard to the health of the American people,” Warnock said.

Taylor and Travis under the Spanish moss ... sweating through their clothes. 👰🤵🥵

What’s in the House reconciliation bill, and how will it affect Georgia?

Due to staffing shortages from federal budget cuts, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is closing nearly two dozen parks around Georgia's Lake Lanier just ahead of Memorial Day.

Looks like Gov. Kemp and the president haven't agreed on a candidate to run against Sen. Ossoff. The Trump-Kemp detente is fragile, I'd wager.

The sponsor of the bill said the plates will create "pride in the nation’s values, history and achievements while also fostering a sense of community among like-minded individuals.”

Georgia hasn't held elections for the Public Service Commission in years. The PSC seats are elected statewide but members run in geographic districts, which civil rights groups makes it hard for a minority candidate to win. That's still the case, but elections are happening anyway. Read more:

Georgia wants to charge a "charging tax" on electric vehicles, but can't figure out how to do it.

Georgia is trying to compete with neighboring states by hurrying to lower the state income tax rate. But will that mean you will pay more in sales tax?

The GOP side of this 2026 race is wide open now.
