@DaleRussellATL wait, what happened?

[Saba Long @sabalong]

@H_Jimenez96 @LordTinsdale @LisaRayam @LilyOppenheimer That would certainly be interesting. I didn‘t have time to mention it but Dems will lose if they don‘t properly address and map out a plan of action for their state party.

BEFORE VOTING, understand this (confusingly worded) ballot question:

The goal of Constitutional Amendment 1 is to reduce the property tax burden on homeowners — but the wealthy would benefit the most, and other side effects loom.

@buzzbrockway 💯 this: “You’ll have more choices than normal, but honestly, the Legislature needs to change the law to open up ballot access for candidates at all levels. Fewer and fewer voters look at the Democratic and Republican parties and see a party representing their values.”

Atlanta received the highest 48-hour rainfall on record over the past 2 days. 11.12 inches of rain soaked the area, beating out the previous record of 9.59 inches in 48 hours in 1886. Record keeping stretches back to 1878. #gawx #helene2024
