“The bill would not apply to trade organizations and public policy groups formed before 1950. Democrat Eric Gisler, a Watkinsville Democrat, argued that those guidelines would exclude groups like the National Rifle Association, which was founded in 1871, from being subject to disclosure”

Reminder that GA’s “#1 place to do business” ranking comes from Area Developer magazine. We’re at the bottom in so many areas that make life livable. I’m not anti data center, but the tax revenue we’ve thrown away could have helped a lot of our residents. www.ajc.com/opinion/2026...

Hey Bluesky! Legislative day 20 in the books. Half way through! WDYT about eliminating homestead property taxes?

To anyone claiming to be concerned about “chain of custody” of ballots, the FBI just broke it for Fulton county, GA.

Representative-Elect update from the frozen north! Already prepping for session in multiple ways, ready to serve! #gapol #gahd121

Canvassing today and tomorrow, thanks to @ruwaromman.bsky.social & @hrcga.bsky.social for the extra hands this weekend. We can do this!

This has been such a huge help! On the doors, we’ve heard from so many voters who were thrilled to receive this encouragement from all over the country. Thank you all so much, and thank you Postcards To Voters!!! And special thanks to my friend @alicekobres.bsky.social for spreading the word!

Had a great time on the Kudzu podcast Sunday night! If you live in GA House District 121, get out and vote this week!!!

Received 2 postcards yesterday asking me to vote for myself! 🤣 Who else received a postcard they really liked? Thanks to all the writers out there!!! 🙏

On @siriusxmprog.bsky.social State of the States, our focus is two 12/9 special elections. Dems have done very well in state leg specials this year: Joined by @emgisler.bsky.social from Georgia HD-121, then Rob Long from Florida HD-90 First airs 9 AM ET repeats over weekend, also on-demand

I’ve been so busy that I haven’t checked in with Blue Sky in a while! Check out this turnout yesterday for canvassing!!!

OMG wow, this is incredible!!! Thank you!!!

This is amazing! I love the creativity and I’m so grateful for the time and effort that people are putting in to help us flip this seat!!!

It’s go time! I’m running in the Georgia HD 121 special election, sometime in December! But first… vote in the PSC races right now!!! #gapol #voteearly #votenow

EARLY VOTING IS OPEN!!! If you live in GA, VOTE BLUE in BOTH PSC races. This isn’t even about politics, it’s about open corruption on the commission. #gapol. #gapsc #voteearly

Great time speaking with the OCHS Democratic Club this morning in Watkinsville, GA. Great turnout for BEFORE school on a Friday. The future is bright! 😎

Particularly somber 9/11. All violence is unacceptable. On the right and logical arguments supporting illogical positions. #endgunviolence #endpoliticalviolence #endviolence

Further proof that Republicans don not understand economics. Short sighted policies are going to cause far reaching suffering.

Tax RATES vs Tax BURDENS - know the difference. Why do Republicans want to get rid of income taxes? Because consumption based taxes shift the burden to YOU. #tax #gapol This video was longer but Bluesky has a 3 min limit. Gotta remember that. 🤦‍♂️

GOOD. The atrocity should have never been made. Glad it will be shut down before it gets hit by a hurricane.

As someone with a bit of experience working in tech, “Move fast and break things” is great if you are a tech disrupter. Not great in a government that people depend on. We need to move fast and FIX things.

This is totally the weaponization of government and they are are targeting Kilmer Abrego García. But he *did* cross the border illegally, and deportation *is* a punishment for that under US law. As long as his rights are respected, it is stupid and unnecessary, but that’s what people voted for.

The crazy thing is interspersed in this caps lock screed are facts most Americans don't know. Cali is a huge state for Agriculture. Paid maternal leave. Free school meals. Its marketing that Dems need to do. If this nonsense breaks thru then do more of it!

It is beyond embarrassing that Vladimir Putin comes to US soil, tells the President of the United States that he won in 2020 and that voting by mail is “corrupt”, and said President of the United States spends the next week declaring war on mail in ballots. He’s getting played. Again.

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

First: WTF? Is that fire? Weird. Second: Obama’s was WAY better.

MAGA is so pro free market that they want to nationalize private chip makers. Remember when they all accused Obama of “socialism” for bailing out auto makers (which was a loan that was paid back with interest)? The stupid. It hurts.

I should not be surprised, but the level of audacity and the sheer lack of self awareness that MAGA Republicans are willing to put out there is truly astounding. This can’t be real life.

Here’s why we need to vote out the current PSC commissioners in GA THIS YEAR. Vote this fall!

Can’t believe those evil DEMON-RATS blocked releasing the Epstein information. WHY are the protecting a dead pedo… Oh, wait.

Now the President can abolish departments that were established by Congress. Neat!

This is an inspiring article at the AJC. We should be investing in school leadership, not sending public education dollars to private school via vouchers.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget. Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge. Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. "Fiscal responsibility."

Republicans in the GA Assembly and Public Service Commission are stealing from you to give to big tech. Hold them accountable. PSC Primary on 6/17!

This is what leadership looks like. www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-r...

End of the Republic. This is so incredibly wrong.

For 21 session days, not a single Democratic bill has been heard in committee. That's 21 out of 40 days where the GOP has blocked your elected officials from lowering everyday costs, or investing in our children, and their public education. Simply put, this is obstruction. #gapol

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

@bluestein.bsky.social You may want to ask Rep Mike Collins why he has a “Trump Putin 2024” postcard on display in his Monroe field office. www.facebook.com/share/p/18id...

Protest in Athens, GA today. People are angry at the lawlessness and ready to do something!

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

I haven’t read this article, but it is a good example of something I’d like to see media organizations do differently. Replace “Trump” with “President of the United States” “President of the United States’ Energy Policy is Full of Contradictions - on Purpose” It hits different, and is accurate.

Well it’s been over 48 hours and I just want to thank the new President for ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. Oh wait.
