⁠Shawn Harris⁠, vying to unseat Republican Clay Fuller in Georgia's 14th Congressional district, is also a cattle farmer, and like many in the trade, is suffering mightily under Trump's looming beef import plan. Hear how it's literally impacting his and other farmers' wallets, and how Harris' dogged pursuit to represent the rural northwest Georgia district once held by Marjorie Taylor Green actually gets boosts from her social media tirades even […]

At Cobb County's 'Back to School' faculty rally, superintendent (and Trump fan-boy) ⁠went off on a 12-plus minutes long political bender⁠ that sent dozens of Cobb educators heading for the aisles and exits, prompting scrutiny from the school system. On with me to discuss the event, the tone, the aftermath and the intimidatory effect of the grilling teachers are taking (will there be disciplinary action?) and how one school board […]

Donald Trump's March executive order aiming to curb mail-in voting (except for when he uses it, of course) drew swift legal action from dozens of states and voter rights organizations, and to hear the Supreme Court's conservative majority rationalize it, it's the swiftness to act that drew their rebuke. At issue, though, is a little-known precedent -the Purcell principle. ⁠From CNN:⁠ "If federal courts attempt to shut down Trump’s executive […]

Marilyn Marks, executive director at the ⁠Coalition for Good Governance⁠, has long warned that Georgia's physical set-up for voting at precincts - using illuminated touch screens - violates Georgia Constitutional law by denying one's right to privacy when voting. It turns out, that's not the only way "ne'er do wells" can find out how you voted: she tipped off a Princeton University researcher that she could use Chat GPT to […]

PLUS: Alpharetta's aversion to icky renters & why would a Billy Linville crossover endorsement matter when Rick cant' get Burt on board? Earlier this week, the Democratic Party announced its finalists for the 2028 DNC convention and Atlanta didn't make the shortlist (Denver, Philadelphia and Boston all did); a decision that - on its face - is sort of inexplicable given Georgia's teetering on the brink of flipping blue with […]

Medicaid expansion, predatory lending (to hospitals from the likes of Rick Jackson's Jackson Healthcare), vaccine confusion, gun (and school) safety, and a post-primary vibe check ... all that in Thursday's conversation with Georgia House ⁠Rep. Dr. Michelle Au⁠ (HD 50).

State Senator ⁠Josh McLaurin⁠ joined The Ron Show Wednesday to discuss the issues of importance in the 2026 midterm election cycle. He and Ron also pontificate on why winning the Lieutenant Governor's race is of vital importance with or without control of the House and/or Senate and why he's best suited to deliver results.

Freelance journalist Alex Jobin joined me today to discuss his ⁠piece chronicling a struggling Montgomery, Alabama hospital ⁠and its biggest creditor - Jackson Healthcare - ready to profit off its bankruptcy at the expense of local and state taxpayers. Like Georgia, Alabama refuses to expand Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act and hospitals throughout that state or scaling back services or shuttering altogether. Fear not, though, Rick Jackson's company profits […]

Georgia's elected Democratic Socialist, ⁠Georgia House Rep. Gabiel Sanchez (GA 42⁠) is up for re-election and seems to be able to work well with the Democratic Party - as a Democrat and Democratic Socialist - winning over African American voters in his district and door-knocking for fellow Democratic House candidates hoping to flip the chamber this November. What gives? We've been told DSA candidates were "disruptive" to the party? Hmm. […]
