August recess starts next week, and Clay Fuller will be back in Northwest Georgia. Clay, make time for the people you represent. Let them hear directly from both of us and decide who has earned their vote. Leadership Matters. #GA14

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

The Roberts Court’s jurisprudence on discrimination echoes the logic of the infamous Korematsu decision upholding Japanese internment—a case whose approach the Roberts Court has both condemned and imitated. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

So much of women’s health medicine is archaic, painful and under researched. It doesn’t have to be this way and I am eternally grateful to the women in STEM recognising and working on these problems www.nist.gov/blogs/taking...

A NIST researcher is working toward a future screening test for breast cancer that’s painless and highly effective.

The news cycle has moved on since the Louisiana v. Callais decision on April 29, but we cannot. My thoughts on our continued fight for voting rights:

We need to keep talking about voting rights.

The news cycle has moved on, but we will not.

catching up with stuff and i’ll just say that if this report is to be believed then this campaign was more grift than actual effort to win a senate seat

What news out of Colorado, where Victor Marx’s emergence as the GOP nominee for governor manages to startle even in the Trump era.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · 2mo ago

NEW: The Associated Press has called the Colorado GOP Gov primary for ministry leader Victor Marx. Here is my interview with Marx in May about his unsubstantiated claims, the number of people he's killed as a civilian, and the exorcisms he performs.

The “Platner team” needs to go away and leave us alone. We have had enough of you.

And, folks, don’t forget who else was paying millions to Fight Agency, the Platner/Fetterman consultants. 👇 As I have shown continuously for months these Bernie alumni companies like this and Middle Seat are all raking in lots of 💵in all this. bsky.app/profile/maud...

Maudi63@maudi63.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I have an update. They have now updated the payments as of 4/18/26 and the Fight Agency has now received almost $3 million from the Steyer campaign. 👇

I’m a farmer. I know what 170 acres means. Before massive data centers move into Northwest Georgia, folks deserve straight answers about our water, power, land, and who actually benefits. That’s not too much to ask. That’s leadership. Leadership Matters!!

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

Preaching that God has assigned black people to "a civilizational station of subordination and dependence" due to the Curse of Ham, Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge calls for a "return to European Christian colonization of African nations." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

People love a champion of the working class who just so happens to hate women and black people

He lied about every single thing. Everyday. He ran knowing full well who he is while presenting himself as someone else (poorly). He wasted everyone’s time & money & shattered people’s credibility. He used the political process as a vanity project to the detriment of the folks he wanted to represent

Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

An island-wide blackout hit Cuba as fuel reserves dwindle and its electric grid continues to crumble.

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

It’s a beautiful evening, the National Mall is open and people are having a wonderful time.

Elon Musk says that no one died because of his demolition of USAID, and that "Kristof is lying through his teeth." So here I invite him to join me on a visit to Africa to see for himself: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/o...

Quite the meltdown on the postliberal right today....

All girls are going to be harassed and pedo/predator coaches are going to demand to “see for themselves”. “Wrong” haircut, phenotype, etc. will be enough. And Black girls will get it the worst.

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.
