Ringing The Bell
His Georgia Court of Appeals judicial candidacy garners enough attention for Will Wooten because he is who he is on two fronts: he's an out gay man in the South, and a former Fulton County prosecutor, having worked with Fani Willis' office to prosecute Donald Trump and his band of co-conspirators for attempting to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results here in Georgia. While AJC op/ed writer Bill Torpy likens […]
PLUS: Reparations for white voters? Republicans want to draw inner city voters towards their suburban 'white saviors' & Geoff Duncan's new TV ad is out The Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has roughly 700 boxes of Fulton County's 2020 general election ballots and now they want names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all the Fulton County election workers and volunteers from the 2020 cycle, too. Uhm, why? As […]
Economic indicators in "MAGA country" and Trump's hemorrhaging right-leaning independent voters indicate it may not matter how gerrymandered some red states are. Farm bankruptcies are climbing. Foreclosures are at a six-year high. Red states lead the way. Tariffs have done 'significant damage' to the economy. ... and yet, Georgia Republicans are still "all-in" for Trump. Baffling! Well, as CNN's Harry Enten notes, right-leaning independents are leaving the "Trump train" […]
PLUS: the on-and-off again (brief) mifepristone mail ban. Melita shares her thoughts on that, as well. Four days ago, I'm complaining there isn't enough polling on the Democratic gubernatorial race in Georgia, and since then we have two new polls out, and the only consistency among them (and all of them) is that former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms enjoys a still-healthy lead, but if there is to be a […]
Plus Carolyn Bourdeau's seems to dislike her party's gerrymandering response; why? And FRIDAY FUNNIES w/Sterling Thrill New - and shocking - Democratic gubernatorial polling shows Keisha Lance Bottoms mightn't need worry about a run-off. The Insider Advantage polling of 800 likely Georgia voters (likely split in half by party affiliation but they gave us no in tabs) has Bottoms netting 52% of likely Democratic party voters with only 14% undecided […]
In the immediate aftermath of the Supreme Court's MAGA 6-3 majority dealing what may be the final death blow to the 1965 Voting Rights' Act, civil rights attorney and Georgia state Senate candidate Rahul Garabadu joined me Thursday to discuss the reality of a newfound race to gerrymander with reckless abandon to eliminate black voting power & representation; oh and to discuss is candidacy in a hotly contested state Senate […]
Both the Democratic and Republican gubernatorial debates hosted by the Atlanta Press Club on Georgia Public Broadcasting aired Monday evening, and aside from the notable difference between the two hours - substantive policy conversations vs "who can out-Trump the other" - some other notable moments were worth zeroing in on. Former state Senator Jason Esteves took the first hard swipe at the presumptive frontrunner, former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, […]
Yet another attempt on President Donald Trump's life nearly came to be over the weekend at the same White House Correspondents' Dinner he'd previously avoided in his first term and first year of his second. Predictably (yeah it happens often enough now that we can use the word "predictably") conservative pundits, politicians and the White House mouthpieces want to focus on the "rhetoric" from the left without an ounce of […]
As wildfires have been ravaging South Georgia for more than two weeks, the Georgia Forestry Commission is actively updating residents. Newsweek reminding us that post-Helene tinder beds and a current and prolonged drought made conditions "favorable" for wildfire activity. - - - Onto the political headlines: the attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), as Twitter/X trolls (led by Elon Musk) are pushing vapid disinformation about a DOJ/FBI case […]
