No sugarcoating the latest New York Times / Sienna College presidential polling data that just dropped; so I won't try to. Instead, I'll pontificate as to what has to be done - if anything can be - or if Democrats and Biden/Harris have to figure out a way to communicate with the America we live in - on America's level. And before anyone goes thinking I'm only talking about MAGA voters or low=info voters (often one and the same), I'm talking to progressives not willing to cut the

Things are beyond dire at Dekalb's animal shelter in Chamblee, with Lifeline Anima Project stating they'll need to ramp up euthanizing dogs at more than four times the usual clip to get its population under control - and they'd prefer not to at all, of course. TikTok's "Politics Girl" provides some clarity for us folks on the left concerned about Biden's age (myself included). I'll hear her out if you will. Rep. Teri Anulewicz joined me today to discuss the

So how exactly did "Stop Cop City" folks get all those signatures? A good in-depth AJC piece dove into that, plus gave some dismaying estimates from a (not hardly impartial) firm prepping to validate the petitions. Also, noteworthy the relative relief many ⁠Cobb County residents are feeling⁠ with the hopes they'll be drawn out of Marjorie Taylor Greene's district. We think. In my attempt to implore that "local elections matter," going into what'll be a low-turnout

I spent more than half of my show agreeing with Republican politicians, y'all. Let that sink in. Fulton district 2 commissioner Bob Ellis went all-in on Sheriff Pat Labat's alleged mishandling of money in a fund meant for "inmate welfare" on things like soirees, party DJs and personal vehicle use. Now, while Labat - or for that matter anyone from his department - was present to speak to the allegations, commissioner Marvin Arrington ran interference - and also might have a point

Former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell - she of the "kraken release" that never was - suddenly and unexpectedly rolled, taking a plea deal this morning. Hear her taking the plea - admitting guilt to six charges - and join me in speculating why. My theory? The treasure trove of recovered emails Coffee County officials appeared to try and bury under the "delete" button. So ... will Georgia election officials finally cave and punt on using compromised election data &

Herschel's holding onto some serious campaign cash, and some Georgia GOPers are sweating his future Senate aspirations, but ... Uhm, there's another Clarence Thomas "conflict of interest" situation flying under the radar. Boop. Boop. New IN-CITY "Cop City" polling should give the mayor and Atlanta Police Foundation the sweats. Palestinian v Hamas conflation & "is Jim Jordan the best they can do?," too.

Georgia Republicans seem to forget we've jail overcrowding and judicial backlog problems; they're looking to make both worse by ramping UP cash bonds, because .... the cruelty is the point. The bill's author, a former (disgraced) cop, himself. Lt. Governor Burt Jones also wants to "gun up" your kid's gym teacher. Then there's the new GOP House Speaker, an anti-gay, anti-choice election denier, flanked by Grandma Moses-like Virginia Foxx imploring people of color

Dan Vicuna with Common Cause joined me today to dive into the C.H.A.R.G.E. batch of report cards for each state's redistricting efforts, and - surprise - Georgia got a D. IN fact, 18 of the 20 failing states are GOP-controlled. I'm also joined today by Chris Dowd with Athens Politics Nerd to get a better understanding as to why Deborah Gonzalez, Athens-Clarke district attorney - is the target of Georgia's new GOP-enacted law giving a state board the power to remove a locally-elected

Rep. Shea Roberts (maybe we're cousins?) joined me today to begin by soundly criticizing the state Supreme Court's decision to affirm the six-week abortion ban prior to 'Dobbs.' She also takes Governor Kemp to task for "leading" the state to it's last place ranking on healthcare. Did ya hear Jenna Ellis' riveting "performance" earlier today? Let me let ya hear another gem she gave on November 19 2020 so we can both figure out which Jenna Ellis is the

Georgia's only openly Jewish General Assembly representative, ⁠Esther Panitch⁠, was certainly emotional over the weekend, on the heels of Hamas' deadly and often grisly terror attack on Israel. She admitted yesterday one of her tweets, targeting "The Squad," was "beneath" her and her office. I'm pleased she came to this realization. BREAKING NEWS that the⁠ U.S. and Qatar are freezing (again) those Iranian assets ⁠the right's been harping about. ⁠Report cards are

Mayor Andre Dickens' recent appearance on a non-commercial radio station podcast warrants a little scrutiny ,and I have a little to give. :) Of course the public safety training facility is the topic he and the three hosts focus on, but he did make some news in the wake of the Johnny Hollman death & subsequent firing of the APD officer involved, so there's that. I was joined by Rev. James "Major" Woodall, someone I've noticed has been vocally empathetic for the people of

The officer who showed up to handle a fender bender, but wound up tasing Johnny Hollman shortly before Hollman died is now out of a job. That whole situation is somehow rationale for a $90 million police campus, according to Atlanta's mayor. Kinda not digging the use of a civilian casualty by one's own police officer for that. I'm also noticing a note of sympathy for the plight of the Palestinian among the "Stop Cop City" folks, and I've some thoughts & reasons why

In the aftermath of the despicable attack by Hamas on Israel, the right wing "spin room" opted not to waste a second mourning the dead or keeping "politics at the waters edge;" instead, they coalesced on the false "$6 billion" narrative. Facts be damned. Well, now's a good time to remind them (and ourselves) that their last President likely shared Israeli intelligence with Russia - now an ally of Iran; the Iran most presume worked with Hamas to carry out last

It's not been a good week for Governor Brian Kemp, relative to facts in the healthcare realm; I've 1,343 reasons to point out Kemp's failing hundreds of thousands of Georgians. The dominos from Trump's inner circle keep falling, as Fani Willis nabs another guilty plea - and cooperative witness in the process in her bid to take down the former President. President Biden's Oval Office address is an excellent display in "threading the needle" between staunch support for

Hear Fani Willis tell her close friends and top donors about the crap she's having to deal with just for doing her job (in this case, prosecuting Trump's attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results). Hey, speaking of prosecuting thugs, it turns out FBI data bears out an overall drop in the violent crime Republicans want you to believe is skyrocketing since Biden took office. It's actually the opposite. An Emory assistant professor is suspended for allegedly making

GOP dysfunction is truly funnier in that - while they flail at getting their sh*t together - they have the gall to blame Democrats for that, too. Georgia's racking up a helluva reserve, and while I'm pretty sure a future Senate candidate will just punt it back to us in some minor tax tweak, I've some tangible, meaningful suggestions that would better lives for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Georgians. Of course, if you want to find some political clarity on the

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Morehouse College Tuesday. Here's audio of that campus Q&A.

This is the first in what hopefully will be many more Deep Dive episodes. This is where one of the five of us will info dump about a subject that maybe we've researched way too much and have a lot to share and say about it. This first one is the Rev Dr and Ted talking about the Luis Rubiales Affair and how machismo and sexism still permeate throughout sports and every day life.Monthly summary of some of the top new stories and the capitalist machinations behind the event.
