Tomorrow gotta drive to Valdosta then albany and then Saturday albany to Valdosta and back to Atlanta. The road to a new democracy ain't easy but gotta go through south Georgia.

Awkward relationship situation where you put something in the trash and you know you gotta take it out because it's smelly and you grab the bag and realize it's already been done. Partnership is real and key! That's how you live

I’ve been respectful today posting about Senator Ossoff and Future Governor Lance Bottoms’ electric rally in Atlanta…

BUT WHY CAN I SEE YOUR PECS, ABS, BICEPS, TRICEPS AND ALL THE CEPS THROUGH YOUR SHIRT? 🫦

I’m proud to support Keisha Lance Bottoms because she reflects the Georgia I believe in: practical, diverse, forward-looking, pro-democracy, and rooted in basic decency.

As a Reform Jew, my values align far more with hers than with Rick Jackson or Burt Jones. My faith teaches me to care about human dignity, justice, pluralism, truth, protecting the vulnerable, and repairing what is broken in the world. That does not mean I expect every candidate to share my religion. It means I want leaders whose actions reflect decency, democracy, and respect for all people.

This race is not just about party labels. It’s about whether Georgia moves forward or gets dragged back into Donald Trump’s chaos, conspiracy theories, and grievance politics.

Keisha Lance Bottoms has actually led a major Georgia city. She understands public safety, economic opportunity, infrastructure, voting rights, and the importance of protecting people’s basic freedoms. She also knows that Georgia’s strength comes from its diversity—metro Atlanta, rural Georgia, Black voters, suburban families, immigrants, small-business owners, workers, and everyone trying to build a decent life here.

She also showed what real leadership looks like in 2020. When protests in Atlanta turned violent, she did not excuse destruction. She condemned it, told people to go home, defended the city, and supported law enforcement action against people who were rioting.

Compare that to Donald Trump. Trump pushed debunked lies about the 2020 election, inspired a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol, and then pardoned January 6 defendants because their violence was committed on his behalf.

That is the difference between public safety and authoritarianism.

Georgia’s 2020 result was counted, recounted, audited, certified, and confirmed. Trump lost Georgia. Period. Anyone still pushing those lies is not defending democracy. They are undermining it. And anyone making excuses for the January 6 rioters is not “backing the blue.” They are defending people who attacked police officers because their preferred candidate lost an election.

Rick Jackson and Burt Jones would be awful for Georgia because both have tied themselves to Trump’s election-denial politics. Burt Jones was part of Trump’s fake-elector scheme. Rick Jackson attacked Brad Raffensperger for refusing to help Trump overturn Georgia’s election. That tells me exactly where their priorities are.

Keisha is not perfect. No candidate is. But she is serious, experienced, pro-democracy, and focused on the future. Rick Jackson and Burt Jones are offering Georgia more Trumpism, more culture-war noise, more election denial, and more chaos.

I’ll take Keisha Lance Bottoms every day of the week. @KeishaForGA

We’re honored to have Governor Beshear stand with Keisha Lance Bottoms in her fight to finally expand Medicaid in Georgia.

Every Georgian deserves access to quality, affordable health care, and, as governor, Keisha will get to work on day one to make this a reality.

[Keisha For Georgia @KeishaForGA]

Welcome back to Warner Robins, Gov. Beshear!

It was great to join you, Mayor Patrick, and the Warner Robins community to discuss Keisha’s vision to expand Medicaid and provide access to affordable health care in GA.

So wild to me that Atlanta had a legit airport layout and completely started again from scratch! Can’t imagine anything of that scale being able to be done in this city today

@MrCharlesky Im intrigued

[Jonathan Martin @jmart]

The last Texas Democrat to win a Senate race was Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.

Beto came close, losing by only 2.5 pts (215K votes)in 2018. What's different between that campaign and the one that starts tonight is Cruz had a united party behind him. Paxton doesn't.

Cornyn's 36% may be a trouncing in a GOP runoff, but he's going to garner about 500K voters.

So the questions are: Can Paxton bring himself to woo Cornyn and those voters?

and

Is Talarico willing to reassure those voters he'll be more pragmatic than doctrinaire?

These voters - by falling in for Paxton, bolting to Talarico or skipping the Senate ballot line - will decide the election

Me: this should not be a super stressful week. My body: hold my beer... now im downing benadryl like it's tequila shots on cinco de mayo because one eye is starting to swell

Ossoff and Warnock did this in the runoffs in 2021 and it worked well.
