Unlike the 2004 flag vote, it is not clear what the public purpose of the referendum is.
House Rules sub to HB 1116, massive revision to Georgia local sales tax law that provides for a nonbinding ballot question, which I think would be the first such question since the 2004 flag vote.
does anyone have unofficial Georgia Attorney General opinion U90-20?
GA House uploaded the Rules sub to HB 1413 a bit early. Here it is.
GA House Higher Education sub to HB 686, sports gambling bill
Georgia HB 1324 Rules sub being debated right now. Changes relative to public version are in Section 5.
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.
Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.
NEW: Clemency for Tina Peters would be unprecedented, based on my analysis of Gov Polis' 25 commutations. Peters hasn't shown remorse, taken accountability, or sought to restore harm. No Polis commutation was for a harsh sentence alone and Peters' would be the shortest by 30+ yrs
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."
what the fuck are we doing

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
And yet all the headlines are “Tony Gonzales Drops Re-Election Bid Over Affair”
The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.
Now, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone.
I don’t think the problem here is that Gonzales had an affair…
"God has a plan for all of us" is a pretty astonishing thing to say when someone set herself on fire because of you.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican accused of coercing a staff member into a sexual relationship before she killed herself, said he would not seek re-election.
Nope. Running out of time.
An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.
May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
’m at Mothering Justice’s “State of the Mama” event at Jam Handy in New Center, where progressive Democrats are set to participate in panels about maternal healthcare. @JENNontheRocks_ is the emcee.
Here’s Michigan’s U.S. Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, D-Royal Oak. “Guess who’s not here?” McMorrow says, referencing their fellow Senate candidate, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens.
OK why does Haley Stevens seemingly not show up to any events in Michigan

Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, “I guess.”

Field to replace her is also awful. I would probably throw my hat in if I didn’t have so much going on right now.
Yes
Three of the four Dems who voted against the war powers resolution are usual suspects (Jared Golden, Henry Cuellar, Greg Landsman), but I'll be really curious to hear from CA Rep. Juan Vargas. It appears he hasn't said anything at all about his vote.
CA's candidate filing deadline is tomorrow, btw.

Given the obvious portents for Republicans, seems that this election is going to be riddled with fake Democrats and the billionaires that fund them.
Following this story's publication, a local reporter found that Rakhi Israni only recently registered as a Democrat from “No Party Preference" in Nov. 2025 and infrequently voted.
Someone else tipped me off to the fact that she was endorsed by the 4th largest donor to MAGA Inc/
