So how many of the national Dems who are supporting Keisha Lance Bottoms' race for Governor also supported Shawn Harris? Whatever the case, their support wasn't very visible, if there was any. That probably helped the Harris campaign. But what do I know? 🤷

Some politicians have fire in the belly. This one has a fire extinguisher.

Fani Willis is such a disgrace as a DA. Someone with better judgement better please primary her when she's up for re-election. www.ajc.com/news/2026/04...

Hard to make it more obvious that a lot of people are now just saying “AIPAC” as not so veiled code for “the Jews”

Let's watch and see how the GA Democratic Party botches gifts like this one 🫣

An incredible gift to Georgia’s entire Democratic slate of candidates.

Call your lawmakers.

Hegseth accuses Iran of plagiarism

I ask AI: I hear people talk about the wisdom of the founders for creating a system of government that gets opposing sides talking to one another. And: I feel like I hear a similar sentiment about the US economic system as well, that greed is turned into a virtue.

This at a time when they could really use more talent to help them clear up that needlessly complex user interface.

Atlanta is a magnet for grifters and charlatans. FulCo Commissioners get to appoint members to the Development Authority. One such appointee, newly bankrupt Real Housewife of Atlanta Pinky Cole, worked with election denier Brandon Beach to give Elon Musk a $10 million data center tax break.

To the conservative legal movement, words have no effective meaning. They also argue that there is no constitutional separation of church and state, which is to say that the establishment clause has no effective meaning.

Well it passed 12-0, with 3 absent (probably opposed but unwilling to go on record). Let's just hope it's enough of a rocket up APD to make them finally get serious about diversion. #GApol

Currently there are no Democrats running in the following flippable Georgia State House seats: HD 45 (Sharon Cooper, East Cobb), HD 147 (Bethany Ballard, Warner Robins), and HD 164 (Ron Stephens, Pooler/Bryan Co). Deadline to file is Friday at noon.

At the Alliance and yo what the fuck is this from Encore?

I might have named other examples, such as the Biden WH's inaction on national security concerns around Musk, House Dems' backing of Henry Cuellar in south Texas, and the Obama admin's failure to pursue much accountability for mortgage robosigning — but … yeah: The problem here is bipartisan.

You could say the dream is alive and IMAX is going to the moon. Only IMAX nerds will get this.

This is one big reason I have been going so hard at Democrats to be aggressive. If Democrats create conflict, the media will cover it. But that too takes courage.

There are four serious candidates running in the Democratic primary for Georgia Governor. Only one of them has absolutely no path to victory in the general election, and she's the frontrunner in the primary, thanks to help from the clueless national party. It's absolutely perplexing.

Aileen Cannon really doesn't get nearly enough flak from the press and Democrats. She should be referred to as "Trump's favorite judge" over and over again. My comment: "Trump's favorite judge strikes again! There's no limit to how far she will stretch the law to favor her favorite President."

I live in the neighborhood adjacent to this massive disused rail yard and think you’re fucking insane if you think it should be some shitty park.

Progressives: the system should benefit everyone. Establishment: the system should benefit just enough people to maintain the status quo. Conservatives: the system should benefit the "right people."

Whoever gave this reply has no concept of opportunity costs. If you're comparing the cost of two things, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison until you also compare the benefits.

It's really good evidence of how damaged the GOP brand is in Georgia that a move by Republican legislators is underway to make school board elections nonpartisan. In theory, I don't think it's a bad idea. In practice, they are trying to avoid a wave of embarrassing flips in places like Cobb.

A financial services company asked me to fill out a survey. They asked me what is the most important thing that would improve my trust in the company. My response: government regulation.

Some people talk like a living LinkedIn profile, as though that's a normal way of speaking. They don't sound more impressive. They're annoying because I have to do real-time translation work, and that's exhausting.

The list of failed indictments that Pam Bondi has tried to push through grand juries makes the average ham sandwich guiltier than the average Trump target.

Maybe there was a pee tape after all 🤷

There was an anti-ICE rally yesterday adjacent to Home Depot's corporate HQ in Cobb County (the Cumberland/Vinings area). #ICE #Immigration I'm working up an article on it, but here's one of my photos

I'll drink to that.

With extraterrestrial xAI servers set to produce more artificial smut, this story really gives a whole new meaning to "Pigs in Space."

Seems a pretty egregious example of bothsidesism from @ajc.com on their reporting of the use of forever chemicals in the carpet industry. The Biden administration took action, and the Trump administration rolled most of it back. Backwards is not the same as slow. www.ajc.com/sp/forever-c...

Atlanta's urban inertia is astounding. Yes, I just made up that term, but it seems right. If I were a researcher, I'd propose measuring the inertia of big cities and the development potential lost from it.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

Everyone is traumatized and nobody is going to therapy

Yes. This. It was amazing how much I could fit in my Fit during my last move. Before that, it was the Toyota Matrix, also a TARDIS car. Hatchbacks are underappreciated. And this is coming from someone who generally doesn't like cars.

Congratulations are in order for James Comey for caring more about announcing Hillary's email investigation than announcing an investigation into Trump about a 13 year old girl being raped 4 months before the 2016 election. CW: child trafficking and rape www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

All that commentary I've read about Elon Musk's desperation to be one of the cool kids feels even more on point now.

Whichever judge signed the warrant authorizing Trump's agents to steal my 2020 ballot should be impeached.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

What do you want to bet: it's not until the markets tank that Congress is willing to step up and do its job.

He wants high quality, cheap, and fast. Typical.

I foresee a lot of people writing "the transformation/moderation of Marjorie Taylor Greene" takes this year who'll forget that's she's arguably the most ubiquitous anti-semite in American life at the moment

Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

A new Yale–Columbia study confirms what many have feared: the Supreme Court is increasingly ruling for the wealthy, with GOP-appointed justices siding with the richer party 70% of the time this decade, up from ~45% in the 1950s.
