Trump beats Mamdani to seizing the means of production.

Almost 5 full pages of the GOP changes are nothing but striking the word 'MAGA' and inserting the word 'Trump.' (I'm not kidding)

My congresswoman has no shame…

My first piece for @AtlantaMagazine is a look at the governor’s race: who’s already in, who’s campaigns are still to come atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-a…

All of our 133 clients have had their SEVIS restored and are all now back in status. Litigation works.

Telling people close to retirement that their portfolio isn’t real and doesn’t matter is a great way to lose an election.

The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year. Check Out“Spoiling America’s Golden Age”@AmericanFreedom 👇

One of the largest tax increases on Americans and done by fiat. Just wow.

Oh for God's sake, the administration has already confirmed the authenticity of the message.

In 100 or so years, someone will insist on re-renaming an elementary school for Eldred Trump Jr., the best darn social studies teacher that Greene County, Illinois has ever seen:

An email last night to all Health & Human Services employees, including CDC, tells them to disregard the “What did you do last week?” email and ends with this harrowing warning, “Assume what you write will be viewed by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

Vladimir Lenin thought the same: The ends justify the means.

Breaking; President Donald Trump has declined Georgia's request to extend the deadline for federal disaster assistance applications related to Hurricane Helene. Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns and Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper had urged the president to consider an extension, citing ongoing recovery challenges. #HurricaneHelene, which struck the Southeast last September, caused an estimated $5.5 billion in damage to Georgia’s agriculture and forestry sectors alone. #gapol

The @AP – one of the few completely independent national news orgs – said it is being barred from Oval Office access because it did not change its AP Style guidance to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Incredibly alarming for press freedom. ap.org/the-definitive…

This is true. The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1868, long after the founding fathers were gone — but via the process that they proscribed. It was an antidote to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that declared Dred Scott and his people to be non-citizens.

The legal academy lost one of our rising stars last night in the DCA crash. Kiah Duggins was budding legal scholar and set to begin her career as a law professor at Howard University this fall. Devastatingly sad news. May God’s boundless compassion console those who mourn.

Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena. “Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies. “It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said. Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.

This is an important and responsible response. Poultry is one of our top industries. And we in Georgia are an important part of the overall food supply in America. It’s also one of our top agricultural exports.
