“This is the lifeline, in many ways, for the city,” (Shipman) said. “It almost makes it like a harbor city, except we don’t have any water. The harbor is the airport.” www.ajc.com/business/202...

🌌 South Arts’ new ‘catalyst’ Where you land, how you leave Dec. 10 — Outgoing Atlanta City Council president Doug Shipman is moving into a new role, and he's thinking about what it means to keep artists at home. As the incoming president and CEO of South Arts, Shipman is taking on a nine-state…

“If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” - President Ronald Reagan

Sharing my story of growing up in South Columbus with Patricia Murphy brought me right back to the people and places that shaped me. They’re why I believe so deeply in Georgia’s potential, and why I’m fighting for every child to have better opportunities to succeed. bit.ly/JasonAJCprof...

ICYMI: Your Inside City Hall this week revisits Atlanta's battle over short-term rentals. And Council President Doug Shipman urges for continued collaboration once he exits office. #atlpol www.ajc.com/news/2025/11...

I’m so excited for everyone to see the new and improved @civilhumanrights.bsky.social So much to see and be inspired by in Downtown Atlanta

“Are complete streets on Peachtree dead?” That’s what Council President Doug Shipman asked Tuesday. And after two pedestrian deaths this year and zero safety upgrades, we’re asking too. Peachtree St. was just repaved—but not made safer. No new crosswalks. No curb extensions. No traffic calming.

Energizing to see young folks advocating for greater civic participation. Voting rights for 16yr olds in elections is an idea worth exploring at the municipal level and beyond.

Beyond honored to be endorsed by Jason Carter. From lowering healthcare and housing costs to investing in schools and small businesses, I’m ready to hit the ground running. Georgia deserves leadership that puts people first, and that’s exactly what I’ll do as governor.

In the last 70 years, federal jobs fell from 4.5% of all employment to below 2%. Civil servants aren't what's driving government debt, and firing them won't address it.

EXCLUSIVE: A new analysis by The Xylom's @alexip718.com shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate balance might be disrupted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal immigration.

If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. - George Washington

The Atlanta City Council selected Carden Wyckoff, a disability advocate, to fill the District 2 vacancy through the remainder of the term—104 days from today.

The US has lost 42K manufacturing jobs since "liberation day."

Unnecessary A poor precedent Federal overreach Cities can take care of themselves thank you very much

Let’s be clear- taxes are going up on every Atlantan and our small businesses will suffer under these capricious tariffs This is bad and short term policy that will make us poorer and our country weaker #taxes #gapol

Attacking international students who come to America to learn and trying to destroy America’s oldest university is dumb, wrong and weakens our country.
