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.
Atlanta Airport train just said the next stop is for “Concourse B as in Burgers n Beverages” #burger #burgersquad #mycity

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?

Fascism is not inevitable!
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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.
being named Vivek and having a white Christian nationalist as a father is wild

Forreal. Before I could watch 9-1-1, I sat through 30 seconds that was basically “Brian Strickland is poisoning our water”
The attack ads in the Attorney General race have honestly been nastier than the governor ads 😭 Jesus how did that race get so ugly out of no where #gapol

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. 🤔🤔
