In his year of campaigning, Rick Jackson has spent 200 million dollars, which is *super close* to the low-end, first-year cost of Medicaid expansion in Georgia.

The fundraising reports are in: Republican billionaire Rick Jackson has poured another $92.5 million of his own fortune into his campaign for Georgia governor since Aug. 1. His personal contributions now top $200 million. Polls show the race is a tossup. #gapol

I will say that this is the worst thing about the airport train. It should be using the nato phonetic alphabet.

I’ve been in many airports around the world & people who think the Atlanta airport is hell on earth are just people who can’t follow basic signs & directions. ATL is top tier.

Accountability… the evergreen issue for MARTA. If you put 💩 in, you get 💩 out. Every time.

Imagine being at any private business & refusing to commit to a a finish date & cost for a major project. MARTA lacks any real sense of accountability to public and taxpayers. Raise your hand if you think it’ll change any time soon. BTW, how we doing on the fare gates?

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Vance *is not* a Christian nationalist. He practices national conservatism. There are similarities but they *are not* the same thing. We have to be precise in our language.

I’m often hard on MARTA Deputy GM Allen, but she wins the tap battle… and it’s not even close. Ide and Pollack’s numbers were released today too. Both of which are disappointing, tho I’ll note that Pollack asked directly abt being waived on, so I assume her count is higher.

‼️Only ONE MARTA board member used their card more than 50x over an 8month period. Below is a compilation of the records requested/recd. It took 6 weeks to get this info. Maybe some folks don’t use their cards? We’re waved through? … or they just don’t use the system. 🤔🤔

This Lindsey Graham "documentary" managed to erase all the rightful outrage over the Amy Acton ad from my timeline. Nice work, leftist grifters. Hope the clicks and fawning from your choir are worth it.

The left: “Vivek’s ad using Amy Acton’s mom went too far.” Also the left: making a documentary about Lindsey Graham being gay after he’s dead. Absolute clowns. 🤡
