Is Donald coming for Georgia's legitimate Senators with illegitimate claims?
TSA’s “Ken & Barbie dolls” useless to lessen ATL lines | Is Burt ‘sorry, Mrs. Jackson?’
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 a look in at the overflowing airport, too: a madhouse before 8am.

We can at least be grateful no one has died (yet) at Atlanta’s airport; not the case at NYC’s LaGuardia, thanks in large part to understaffing and missing safety equipment. Uhm, where’s the scrutiny on DOT Secretary Sean Duffy?
That crash got Josh Doss (a great follow on Instagram) to thinking about how our government prioritizes its spending on bombs and not the health & well-being (and actually safety!) of us here at home. Sheer brilliance. Also, did you know that it’s 3x harder for ‘blue’ states to get needed federal aid from this President? Of course you knew.
——
Trump took yet another opportunity to tell the media how many dangerous criminal and mentally unwell immigrants “sleepy Joe” Biden let in, but did you know his grandfather was an undocumented immigrant who skipped Germany to avoid military service (you can’t make this stuff up) and wound up being deported from Bavaria?
—– 45:00 ——
A pro-Burt Jones mailer pointed to a “Jackson” op/ed that railed on Jones’ intent to eliminate the state’s income tax. Problem is, it wasn’t Rick Jackson that wrote the piece; it was Senator Kim Jackson, Democrat of Stone Mountain. Her op/ed actually deserves its time to shine.
——
Lastly, a little on the Meta/YouTube New Mexico decision and did Trump throw Stephen Miller and his white nationalist tendencies under the bus to pivot on immigration tactics to try and win back midterm voters?
