"Even worse than I could have imagined." So much detail in here from @bluestein on GOP anxiety over Mike Collins' Senate bid. Despite that, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott both have fundraisers scheduled for Mike Collins soon. ajc.com/politics/2026/…

“Concierge service” — that’s what Rick Jackson’s campaign said Georgia voters can expect from the billionaire’s turnout operation- daily, targeted, even personalized messaging about why they should vote in November and who they should vote for.

Can Republicans win without the “Kemp machine” in 2026? They may not have to find out. Rick Jackson is working to rebuild the governor’s massive data and turnout operation and supercharge it. ajc.com/politics/2026/…

Incredibly disturbing video posted by Rep. Mike Collins’ “influencer” son-in-law: “They don’t tell us about the history of Germany before World War II. All we’re told is, ‘Germany bad, Hitler evil, Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust. Don’t ask questions.’”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

this clip that CNN obtained of Georgia Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins' son in law, who has participated in Collins' campaign and reportedly lives on Collins' property, using Nazi talking points to suggest the Holocaust actually wasn't that bad is just bonkers

Trump coming back to Georgia days after his Oval Office address—->
GAGOP@GaRepublicans

“I am thrilled to welcome President @realDonaldTrump back to the great state of Georgia as he delivers remarks in Marietta on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Wheeler High School. President Trump’s leadership and America First vision continue to deliver real results for hardworking Georgians and all Americans. His commitment to strong borders, economic growth, election integrity, and putting America first remains an inspiration to Republicans across our state. This is a fantastic opportunity for patriots in Cobb County and metro Atlanta to hear directly from the President. I strongly encourage everyone who can attend to do so. Seating is first-come, first-served, and attendees will need to confirm their ticket via SMS as instructed. Georgia Republicans stand united with President Trump. We are grateful for his continued engagement in our state and look forward to a strong showing of support. God bless President Trump, God bless Georgia, and God bless the United States of America.” - Georgia Republican Party Chairman @JoshMcKoon who.nucleuspages.com/events/preside…

From @PunchbowlNews — “Senate Majority Leader John Thune didn’t answer directly when asked twice if he considered Georgia Democratic Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to be fairly elected… “The state certified those elections.” #group-10" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">punchbowl.news/archive/71626-…

Politics can feel like a blood sport sometimes. But it’s also where I’ve met some of the most wonderful people you could ever hope to know. This is a column about one of them — “Born on the Fourth of July, ‘Miss Elsie’ Hand turns 100.” ajc.com/politics/2026/…

Rep. Mike Collins reports $2.1 million raised in the last quarter and just $2.2 cash on hand after his contested primary and runoff. That gives Ossoff a 20:1 cash advantage, with $42M on hand.

Cash cow— @Ossoff reports $20 million raised in the last quarter and $42M on hand. His opponent, Rep. Mike Collins, has not yet reported, but had $5 million in the bank at last count. ajc.com/politics/2026/…

Is Donald Trump trying to lose Georgia for Republicans in 2026? His obsession with the election he lost in 2020 has only ever cost the GOP races in the state. My @ajc column about the Republicans he’s hurting by refusing to move on—> ajc.com/politics/2026/…

We asked LG Burt Jones on today’s PG pod what it was like to be on the other side of Rick Jackson’s $100 M campaign. “It affects your children, it affects your wife, when it’s being pumped into your living room everyday that your daddy is Pablo Escobar.” ajc.com/politics/2026/…

Graham helped broker the 2024 detente between Trump and Kemp after the president exploded on Kemp at a rally. “It's in your interest to have a good relationship with him, and it's definitely in his interest to have a good relationship with you," Graham told Kemp. “He just doesn't know it yet." #gapol
Governor Brian P. Kemp@GovKemp

Senator Lindsey Graham was a patriot, an impactful public servant, and a friend. His love of this nation, unyielding belief in its possibilities, and defense of its values made him a true force to be reckoned with in Washington. Marty, the girls, and I send our prayers and deepest condolences to his family, colleagues, and our neighbors in South Carolina during this difficult time.

Scenes from the “Freedom 250” event in Brussels thrown by US Ambassador to Belgium Bill White, whom Atlantans will know from his “Buckhead City” days. It included a huge 45 min. drone & fireworks show, plus performance by Georgia’s Zac Brown Band.
