If you're struggling to buy groceries and cover your healthcare, this isn't a team sport, and you don't have to vote R every single time. Just listen and consider your options carefully.

I understand it's easy to fall for the trap of Obama is going to take your guns away or schools are turning children into trans or Islamic terrorists are going to attack Dalton, Georgia. But just listen, none of that BS is real...

For folks in #GA14 it's a good time to remind people of this. Perhaps it's time to listen to the grown-ups for a change. #gapol #gagop #ringgold #rome #dalton

Dignified transfers should be off limits for the press and politicians. The last thing that should ever happen is to use the fallen as media props. #gapol #dod

Iraq is a win, militarily and in nation building.

Not enough reporting on the fact that Netanyahu’s government goal of making Iran a failed /crippled state isn’t in the interest of the USA and its Gulf Allies.

Regime change rarely means a modern democracy. That’s even less likely.

Unless you put boots on the ground actual regime change is unlikely. A lot of potential outcomes with this and several can be awful. Destabilizing a country of 100 million can have severe long-term consequences. #gapol #iran #israel #middleeast

This anti-intellectualism will have a very real cost. Our biggest military defeats were at the hands of commanders that were straight-up academic nerds - Yamamoto, R.E. Lee, Rommel, Robert Ross... #gapol #gagop #hegseth #dod #secdef

Republican tax cuts created over 800 billionaires and destroyed the middle class.

Over 40 years of Republican tax cuts, we're now over $38 trillion in debt. #gapol #gagop #sotu #trump

VA News: VA undoes decades-old wrong and protects Veterans’ Second Amendment rights For immediate release February 17, 2026

Effective yesterday, VA made it more difficult for veterans to receive disability payments. Hours later, the department was bragging about protecting the 2nd Amendment.

Essentially, the Trump administration is abdicating VA's primary role and reason for existence to impress online MAGA chuds.

You could do a multi-part series on Oprah Winfrey. She was the epicenter of the self-help world and started the careers of Dr Oz and Dr Phil among others. @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @ifbookspod.bsky.social

I have mine through a public library account. The people paying the highest rate (and were likely the most loyal) were probably the physical paper subscribers. How many of those converted to digital or simply dropped?

You can usually get free access with a public library account.

I seem to remember Morse saying he was aiming for 500,000 digital subscribers by the end of 2026. Today, AJC announced a 15% cut in its workforce. πŸ€” #gapol #ajc #atlanta #atlpol

One of the more nefarious things about our β€œdemocracy” is that people still think that the elections matter. Your right to a vote largely doesn't exist. #gapol #elections #voting

The online chatter has noted the increased ICE activity, Rep Carter directly asked for more ICE operations, Trump has issues with the state since 2020, we have a critical senate seat up for the midterms, and the state has nearly half a million undocumented people.

Would be super cool if national media could stop flooding the airwaves with terrorists and Nazis spreading lies. Stop treating them like normal guests in a normal time.
