New CBO report - increase in immigration (legal and illegal) would reduce the deficit by $897 billion over 10 years, mainly because immigrants pay taxes and spur economic growth. cbo.gov/system/files/2024-07…

The sequel will be titled "2000 Fools."
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. "2000 Mules" was nothing but a big lie about election fraud in 2020. Salem Media has settled a lawsuit brought by a Georgia man and stopped distribution of the movie and the book.

Good News!
We will have a full statement in the morning, but for now, from the Capitol crew at Georgia Equality, we have adjourned for the year and successfully DEFEATED ALL ANTI-LGBTQ LEGISLATION in Georgia!!

Georgia has the 2nd highest rate of uninsured in the country — more than 1 million don’t have health insurance. Our hospitals struggle caring for uninsured patients. More may close. Yet we can insure more & save 100s of MILLIONS by expanding Medicaid. appnews.ajc.com/georgia-gop-…

Aggressive lawyering ≠ making shit up and trying to steal a presidential election. There was never any valid factual or legal basis for the buckets of bullshit these kraken con artists were spewing. Ibid. Your Honor. ajc.com/politics/georgia-def…

When Democrats in Washington subsidize the EV industry, they're "playing politics and picking winners and losers." Yet when Kemp and fellow Republicans in Georgia heavily subsidize that same EV industry at the state level, they're "working hard to attract good-paying jobs?"
While the federal government continues to play politics and pick winners and losers, we’ll keep working hard to attract good paying jobs and record investment to the Peach State!

Why Kemp didn't answer this question: He's bad at math! "Kemp ... declined to answer a question Monday about how the plan would address the more than 300,000 people who would be left uninsured under his plan’s projections." #gapol ajc.com/news/state--regional…

Sen. Rick Scott says people who believe in socialism should not travel to his state of Florida. Republicans have long labeled Social Security and Medicare as "socialism." Therefore, anyone who collects Social Security or Medicare must immediately leave Florida.

This is a bad decision. #gapol
A sad day for Georgians: Bill Nigut says GPB’s Political Rewind (@PoliticsGPB) has been canceled as of June 30, apparently due to budget cuts. For the last nine years, the show has been a home for voters who demand a civil, respectable place to discuss politics & policy. #gapol

Republicans everywhere – including here in Georgia – are working in lockstep to strip our reproductive rights. We need to start organizing now to stop Republicans in 2024.

Responsible gun owners say they already safely store their guns. Just as responsible drivers put their kids in car seats. We readily accept car seat laws. Meanwhile, gun violence is the #1 cause of death in kids and teens in the US. Safe storage laws are simply common sense.
States with weak gun laws had the most incidents: TX 14; LA 12; MO 11; Indiana, 10; and FL, GA, OH, and TN, with 9 each. All of these states have permissive gun laws, and little or no regulation governing how guns are stored in the home or around children.

This month, we are proud to celebrate Georgia’s LGBTQ+ community and rededicate ourselves to building a state where every Georgian can safely be their authentic self – especially as extreme Republicans continue to attack LGBTQ+ rights.

We must bind Supreme Court Justices to the same code of conduct as all other federal judges. And we must require judges and their spouses to publicly disclose their conflicts of interest. My Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act does both.

Over $10 million in "commissions" from elite law firms paid to Jane Roberts—the wife of Chief Justice John Roberts—for placing lawyers at firms and corporations, some with business in front of the Supreme Court. It's corruption, plain and simple. businessinsider.com/jane-rob…

•USA’s 9 safest states have strong gun laws—all Democrat run. •USA’s 16 of 17 most dangerous states have weak gun laws—all GOP run. No wonder Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do Blue states: thirdway.org/report/the-two-… GOP arrogance is killing thousands of Americans.
Have you seen states with gun laws. Laws dont work because criminals dknt care about laws.
