Thoughts from the ATL Airport Protest

Only a week after the historic Women’s Marches nationwide, including a 60,000-strong gathering in downtown Atlanta, protesters were out in force once again rallying against President Trump’s immigration ban. I went to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to join in the protest and broadcast the event live for Better Georgia. I had a chance to speak… [Read More]

The Democratic National Committee is launching a new program, the Victory Leaders Council, which is designed to “flip states to Democrats” and lead volunteers and grassroots campaigning. Georgia, along with Arizona and Utah, has been selected as a launching ground for the VLC. The DNC’s southern political director, Ron Allen, will relocate to Georgia this… [Read More]

Is Trump’s rhetoric fueling Latino voter surge in Ga.?

Are Latinos the next major voting bloc in Georgia? Thanks to Donald Trump, they might be. A front-page story in today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution highlights the surge of new Latino voter registrations in the last few months. According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, there was an increase of 20{21a0f2e682527d5e15328a793158bcc0a9b8955c1b60e5cb556db3e7991c3fc5} in registration rates among Latinos… [Read More]

Gov. Deal stands by Donald Trump

Gov. Deal stands by Donald Trump

Nathan Deal has done. Gov. Nathan Deal and Sen. David Perdue made news yesterday by announcing their plans to host a… [Read More]

Let Trump be Trump

Let Trump be Trump

It’s a presidential year, and like every other presidential year, Republicans are once again consolidating support behind the presumptive nominee. There’s nothing unusual about that.

Trump and his tax returns

Trump and his tax returns

As if we needed more proof that he’s not qualified to be president, Donald Trump is now refusing to release his tax returns. Really. Trump gave plenty of excuses for keeping a lid on his financial documents, but his most shocking reason was that he doesn’t think voters care about them. Really. Let’s be honest:… [Read More]
