    Georgia Republicans, predictably, begin the process to take over the elections apparatus of Fulton Co., the state's largest Democratic stronghold. Time to pass

    Republican lawmakers in Georgia are requesting that the state undertake a performance review of local election officials in Fulton County — a move that could result in a GOP takeover of election operations in a heavily Democratic region of the state

    "How many more people have to die from global warming and covid-19 before Republicans realize the deadly consequences of their hostility to science? Alas, the GOP might have gone too far down the rabbit hole to return to the land of fact and reason."

    If Gov Kemp wants to expand the scope of this fall's special session beyond redistricting, let's tackle the thing that would bring $3 billion into our economy every year: Expanding Medicaid.Should have been done 10 years ago. But it's not too late.

    The larger the unvaccinated pool, the more the risk spills over to even those doing what's best to protect themselves and their communities. Vaccines are about collective burden sharing. If we can ALL do our small part, hopefully no one person has to pay the ultimate price.

    Thank you for leadership on this

    There has never been a better time to fully expand Medicaid in Georgia. This morning, 52 House and 15 Senate colleagues joined me in formally calling upon Gov. Kemp to include this urgent issue in our upcoming special session.

    Medicaid expansion would not only be a vital boost to health coverage. It can help students stay in class and improve their performance in school. It can lift families out of poverty. And it can create more than 64,000 jobs for Georgians.
