The Politics Bar After Hours - Shorter Lines
Georgia’s 2026 governor’s race is starting to take shape, and the first televised Democratic gubernatorial forum offered an early look at what’s ahead. Ron breaks down the biggest moments from the Savannah event as seven Democratic candidates tackled health care, Medicaid expansion, housing affordability, and how Georgia should respond to another Trump presidency.
There’s more from the Minnesota ICE killing of Renee Good, including the gunman’s cellphone video (bonus: retired ICE agent breaks down the shooting, and it ain’t good for the gunman or Noem’s DHS) and – get this – Ron credits Donald Trump for at least wanting to do something good for homebuyers in tackling private equity home ownership – but is what he wants to do even legal? Also the 50-year mortgage is dead. Good.
There’s also Ron’s weekly candid, irreverent convo covering the week’s news with comedian Sterling Thrill to launch the second half of the show on a lighter note.
