We are not obligated to settle for any less next year. When we run disciplined progressive campaigns, there is no limit for us in Georgia. Congratulations to Rep. Elect @emgisler.bsky.social !

If you knew, read, or wrote that #TN07 went for Trump by 22 points last year, that's almost certainly thanks to The Downballot's complete collection of presidential results for all 435 congressional districts—a massively difficult project we undertake every four years.

Like I said, it’s been a day.
Ansley reminded me that at the NJ service center we stopped at, we saw a very, very old wienie dog holding a frisbee in its mouth like an offering plate, going from fast food spot to fast food spot looking for treats.

And then my FIL nearly walked in on me while I was getting dressed looking for a sleep shirt for my MIL. It’s been a day, but we’re home.
After celebrating my cousin’s wedding in New Haven this weekend, I thought we’d have a leisurely drive and easy flight back to DC this evening. Our 7 pm flight wasn’t meant to be. We just drove 6 hours home. Our flight from Hartford still hasn’t left. Oh, and my parents were with us. I am tired.

Thank you to Victor Blackwell for having me on First of All to discuss the shutdown and its impact on Georgians. Healthcare is not a debate. It’s a life saving necessity. #GovernmentShutdown

Georgia for Ruwa Romman! @ruwaromman.bsky.social
Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Politically motivated violence is NEVER acceptable. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, his family, and all those affected by the rising tide of violence that we must all reject.

For the sake of our country, I urge everyone to lower the temperature motivating this violence.

This is outrageous in so many ways. Occupying cities like this is egregious. And, this is a massive waste of resources. Now Georgians are being separated from their families to spend their time in DC picking up trash and laying mulch all funded by our tax dollars.
Just in: Gov. Brian Kemp is deploying more than 300 Georgia National Guard troops to Washington to aid President Donald Trump’s federal intervention in the nation’s capital amid a widening debate over the use of the military for local law enforcement.

This is why I have no patience with the “but you don’t understand, this tech can automate coding tasks!” sigh-ers. If there are any circumstances under which your technology can operate *specifically* to encourage a teenager to take his own life, it ought to be pulled until you fix it.
There is so much terrible about all of this, but what strikes me most is how often the teen suggested involving his family so he didn’t go through with the suicide and it appears that each time, ChatGPT discouraged him.

My prayers go out to Officer David Rose’s family whose world has been completely shattered by the senseless attack on the CDC last night.

Early reports suggest that the shooter was driven by false rhetoric around health and vaccine policy. 1/

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks recorded an album as a duo before joining Fleetwood Mac. It wasn't a hit in 1973. But after much anticipation, it's due to get its first reissue in September.

Looks like the back-to-back-to-back L's Georgia handed Derek Dooley when he was coaching Tennessee weren’t a clear enough message. Time for a fourth ♥️🖤#GAPol
