PLUS: It's DOJ/FBI vs ... the SPLC? A⁠ recent poll⁠ pitted former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms against the four GOP gubernatorial combatants, and in each case, she comes out on top. No other Democratic candidate was polled, but there's ⁠more recent polling that shows she's safely in "run-off" territory⁠ and only 8% from ⁠clearing it outright⁠ in the primary, too. It's curious, though, that the remaining Democratic gubernatorial field […]

Georgia’s ACA enrollment plummet: how that’s a bad look for Kemp and a Democrat

New data obtained by ⁠The Current⁠ and Georgia Recorder (thanks to a FOIA request) shows ⁠Affordable Care Act enrollment in Georgia slumped by more than one-third ⁠at the start of 2026, on the heels of pandemic-era enhanced subsidies going away (remember the government shutdown last fall?). With outgoing Governor Brian Kemp thinking 2028 might be fertile territory for him to tout his era of governance, this won't age well; but […]

Ossoff flashes sharpened rhetoric & Tanya Miller reminds us who an AG is supposed to serve (it’s us)

Plus: Clay Fuller tries out 'satire' for a side hustle and fails. We haven't even crossed the 2026 finish line yet, and already the Democratic party's 2028 field is starting to not only reveal itself but flex its rhetorical might. First up, though, concerns about election integrity have Democrats in Congress wondering (aloud) ⁠if the National Guard is going to adhere to Trump or the US Constitution⁠. We (sort of) […]
