Political musings from my armchair in Gwinnett County, Georgia Political junkie • Childless cat lady • Georgia Democrat https://sharithearmchairpundit.substack.com/

Meet Kristina Lindsey. She helped build N Gwinnett Dems from the ground up after asking a simple question: “What can I do?” Our conversation is about showing up, finding your people, building community, and discovering what happens when ordinary people decide to do something together #gwinnettdems

The Spark: Getting to Know Kristina Lindsey

She didn’t set out to become a political organizer. She just kept showing up and somewhere along the way, she helped build a community.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Acosta: This is a Category 5 fuck-up of epic proportions. It is likely to go down as the worst presidency that we have ever witnessed in this country’s history. That tops the first administration that ended with an insurrection.

A capable president would move swiftly to secure and reassure the American people, rush inspectors into frontier labs, fortify the nation against bioterrorism, demand legislation from Congress, and lead the world toward an AI treaty. But President Trump is compromised.

I sat down with Dr. Jasmine Clark for the latest Armchair Pundit. We talked measles, food safety, science, affordability, health care, elections, the Supreme Court and rebuilding trust. And now she’s going to be my representative in Congress. @jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social #georgia #gapolitics

I've known Representative Sam Park for 10 years, so I thought I knew what I was getting when he sat in The Armchair I was wrong. We talked politics, leadership, FLOCK Cameras, @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social, political violence, hiking, food ... and fried okra. Come have a seat with us and meet Sam

Sam Park Joined Me in The Armchair: Here’s What Happened

I first got to know Sam Park by showing up. Ten years later, I invited him into the armchair so you could get to know the person behind the title.

On behalf of the DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries, this afternoon we filed a new amended lawsuit and motion to block Trump's anti-voting executive order and the USPS rule implementing it. We will not stop fighting to protect voting rights and when we fight we win.

Mark your calendars for Sept 8 Start stocking up on as much stuff as you can Canada isn't messing around and the tariffs they are slapping back on us in response to the 🍊💩takes effect on 09/08 If you have Costco load up that cart We also have 40 days of oil reserves remaining so there's that too

I keep seeing anti-Muslim rhetoric saying Muslims are dangerous and don’t belong here. Yet Muslim-majority nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are welcomed when they do business with and enrich the Trump family. So… are Muslims the problem, or only when they aren’t profitable? Make it make sense.🤔

Watters: You think it’s ok to slash a ding-a-ling off El-Sayed: Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised? Watters: Yeah El-Sayed: Then you probably want to move on.

I invited Austin Heller to have a seat in the Armchair. There was no Armchair. There was 98° heat, an overheated phone, a giant ant and me laughing uncontrollably. Somehow, we still had a really good conversation. 😂

A Seat in the Armchair… Just Not Your Typical Armchair ;-)

A very hot summer evening, an unexpected ant, a lot of laughter, and a conversation with my friend Austin Heller about finding your lane and showing up.

What a moment to be in the same room with Senator Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords. With all Gabby has been through you can feel her light and her strength. The bond and the love they have for one another was something special to see.💙💕

On nights like this it’s kinda wild that @abbydphillip & @CNN don’t feel the need to mention @ScottJenningsKY’s podcast bosses at Salem Media are running a pro-Israel influence operation — and that he gets paid by them while he’s on CNN trashing Bernie, @AbdulElSayed, etc
