Now that Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger has refused to provide the voter rolls to Trump‘s administration, they have decided that they will roll ICE into Atlanta, apparently as punishment.

We must also remember the names of the others who died in ICE custody so far in 2026 -- Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, and Heber Sánchez Domínguez.

Trump’s FBI has raided election office in Fulton County Georgia. You’re not gonna “find the votes.” Release the files and stop with the distractions!

A federal search warrant is being executed at the same address as the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, *right now.* If you know what's going on with that, or are an elected official, ping me.

Yesterday, I asked Steven Bansbach, spokesman for DHS, if reports that CBP were pulling out of Minneapolis were accurate. Rather than answer that question, at 11:05 a.m. today he sent me a note reposting Tricia McLaughlin's X post: "Chief Gregory Bovino has NOT been relieved of his duties."
A lie.

A question that should be answered on Signal: George_Chidi:80.
Suppose I wanted to know where ICE was in Atlanta and what they were doing - whether they were surging or receding. Some folks are tracking these things. As a journalist, I'd like to know who they are NOW, before the stupidity starts.

Federal agents are acting as though any crime they commit will be ignored by federal prosecutors today, and pardoned before Trump leaves office. The proper political response to this is to impeach and remove the president from office before he can do that.

Last night Fox News blamed Renee Good for her own murder, and called those protesting it “insurgents”. Sponsors running within an hour of this extreme segment included Intuit TurboTax, Airborne, Sensodyne, Trivago, and Freshpet.

Once a year, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce commandeers Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Eggs and Issues Breakfast, which is usually little more than an opportunity for political schmoozing and free Chick-fil-A sandwiches. I haven’t been to one for years.

Billionaires do not create jobs. Markets create jobs.
Markets create demand, and capital fills that demand if it can. The whole "job creator" noise is marketing propaganda designed to keep the public from taxing billionaire wealth.
Monopolists and government contractors are not job creators.
