🚨 Donald Trump just told us that he wants to steal elections. America doesn't work that way. The President and his Epstein Class buddies don't pick and choose who wins elections. The People do. *That* is how America works.

Happy birthday, Senator Tonya Anderson!

Let’s set the record straight. Things that are real: - Trump lost in 2020. - Ossoff and Warnock won free and fair elections. - There is an affordability crisis. Things that aren’t real: - Voter fraud cost Trump the 2020 Election. - Whatever the MyPillow guy believes - Inflation is good.

We are saddened by the passing of Larry Pellegrini, a giant of Georgia's progressive movement in Georgia. Larry was a pioneer of LGBTQ+ advocacy at the Capitol and has shaped generations of organizers and leaders under the Gold Dome.

Fact: Georgia’s actual state minimum wage is still set at $5.15 an hour, a rate decided 29 years ago in 1997. Since then, the overall cost of living in Georgia has skyrocketed by 109%. Groceries that cost $100 back then cost over $212 today. Georgia families deserve a raise. #gapol

4 years after SCOTUS overturned Roe, we’re seeing the impacts right here in Georgia: preventable maternal deaths and soaring healthcare costs. Yet, GA Republicans just nominated a billionaire who demands women prove they were raped to get care, and a nepo baby who rejects exceptions entirely.

On June 19, 1865, word arrived in Galveston, Texas, that the last enslaved Black Americans were finally free. Juneteenth is a celebration of that liberation. But it is also a reminder that freedom is never free, and it never goes on sale. Happy Juneteenth!

Senate Minority Leader Jones II is demanding that Governor Kemp extend the gas tax holiday: “Georgia Republicans love Donald Trump’s reckless war. And they don’t care that you are paying for it at the gas pump. Why else would Governor Kemp kill the gas tax holiday at midnight tonight?
