The Politics Bar After Hours - Picking Your Team
PLUS: Sterling Thrill returns for some 'Friday Funnies' & hell no, I won't feel bad for Kristi Noem The Georgia general assembly session for 2026 came to a close Thursday night, leaving a lot of ugly bills unaddressed (mostly in the House) and work "yet to be done" that legally has to be addressed by this summer with regards to election. That said, the fine folks at the Georgie Recorder […]
Oh, and about the Noems ... With Republicans passing legislation targeting the five largest metro Atlanta counties (that their party can't win in) to turn many elections into non-partisan affairs, it often falls on the state's attorney general to defend those bills - if signed into law by the governor - when challenged in court. A former Democratic lawmaker and House minority leader - Bob Trammell - seeks to re-enter […]
A push to lower state property taxes by using slick language and maneuvers to raise the sales tax (I told ya so) is fodder for back & forth under the Gold Dome in Georgia's closing general assembly days. There's new polling that shows a surge by former Senator Jason Esteves, making that potential run-off a four-person tangle. Joining me to discuss the ramifications is Atlanta-based political consultant Andrew Heaton.
He's a retired brigadier general and now a northwest Georgia cattle rancher. Just the kind of guest you'd expect hanging "at the kitchen table" with the ladies, right? Oh, did we mention he's running to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's vacated seat in Congress? Hello, "Kitchen Table issues!" Meet Shawn Harris, who's simultaneously in a run-off to complete MTG's term in Congress while also on the general election ballot to win […]
We're in the final days of the 2026 Georgia General Assembly legislative session, and with vacated seats & a mad rush to jam in some awful bills, the pressure's on - mostly on beleaguered Democrats to hold off the worst. Georgia Recorder reporters provide a nice summation of what's still alive, what could be revived and what's off the table (for now). Get this, though: some GOP legislators may be […]
PLUS: Thurmond's endorsement gets: plums or prunes? Also, Keisha's list was ... something to see & Esteves' list is long. - -- Coming off a third - and impressive - 'No Kings Day' weekend, it was in listening to (marveling at) Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock deliver a "no notes" speech in Atlanta Saturday that somehow aligned well against the faux religiosity on display at CPAC on the same weekend. The […]
Millions of Americans will take part in the third 'No Kings Day' multi-pronged protest today, and yet there are those who question the efficacy. "The needle isn't moving" said one Substack scribe, and she's not wrong, but she isn't just talking about the last year. 'Occupy Wall Street' was fifteen years ago. FIFTEEN YEARS! On this week's "Politics Girl" podcast, host Leigh McGowan and guest Ezra Levin opine that it’s […]
Marilyn Marks is no stranger to The Ron Show. Today, the executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance joined to raise the alarm volume on a bill that state Senator Greg Dolezal "zombified" from a Democratic House member's attempt to secure another judicial appointment for her home county. In HB960, Dolezal essentially stripped its intent and instead pumped a bunch of what the organization calls "numerous unworkable provisions," not […]
Likened to useless "Ken and Barbie dolls" by TSA union representation, TSA agents in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport aren't able to do much to lessen the long, winding lines of passengers trying to clear security to make their flights on-time. CBS News Congressional correspondent Taurean Small tells me if there's any chance a deal to fund DHS gets done before the 'No Kings' weekend. Local Atlanta TV station WANF provided […]
National morning drive radio and television star Stephanie Miller hosts The Stephanie Miller Show, reaching over six million listeners weekly on satellite and terrestrial radio, simulcast on FreeSpeech TV. A ratings powerhouse who dominated at KABC, KFI, and stations in New York and Chicago, she's been ranked on Talkers Magazine's "Heavy Hundred" for over a decade and won their Woman of the Year Award. Her sold-out Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour became the fastest-selling comedy tour in history, earning three Pollstar nominations and producing America's #1 comedy album. Praised by Rachel Maddow as "the high priestess of excellent liberal talk" and by Carol Burnett as "the Carol Burnett of radio," this Liberal icon—ironically the daughter of Barry Goldwater's 1964 VP running mate—is known as "The Voice of The Resistance."
