Fulton County DA Fani Willis gave Trumpian performance and took on Republicans
Fani Willis, Fulton County District Attorney, did not come to the Georgia General Assembly to be cowed but to fight back hard in an incredible spectacle before GOP senators.

I watched the testimony by Fulton County DA Fani Willis today before a GA Senate panel re: 2020 election interference case against Trump + 18 co-defendants.
It was a spectacle. Even the term "witch hunt" was use. @david-wickert.bsky.social has the story for @ajc.com

My colleague @david-wickert.bsky.social is covering Fulton County Fani Willis' testimony to a GA Senate committee today. "Contentious" is the right way to put it.

A reader emailed me about my recent column in @ajc.com on the middle-class housing crisis. He liked the framing but told me it fell short on solutions. He has a point. While I offered some ideas, I'm taking his constructive criticism to heart.

Enlightening interview by @tiamitchell.com @ajc.com of #MarjorieTaylorGreene on Politically Georgia podcast.
I was fascinated by the Congresswoman's term "accountability partner" re: her relationship to Trump. She learned that he is different out of power than in power.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving for now, but never say never
In an interview with the AJC, the Rome Republican reflects on her five years in office and a very public split with President Donald Trump.

Ever since I attended the Atlanta Regional Commission annual meeting in October where survey results showed that affordable housing was the top concern for the metro area's residents, I have been eager to write about the topic.

Middle-class housing crisis worsens and requires urgent action and attention
The goal of preserving and building affordable housing for Atlanta low-income and homeless residents is commendable, but the middle class needs more attention and support.

@ajc.com reporter Lautaro Grinspan documents the toll of ICE raids on undocumented immigrant families in metro Atlanta. Families lose a breadwinner, some leave the workforce to avoid ICE and their contributions to the economy diminish. Powerful photos by Miguel Martinez.

When ICE takes breadwinners, it takes a toll on families ... and on the economy
For immigrant families, brushes with ICE can result in financial precarity that could have implications for the broader economy.

#GoldenGlobe noms are out. I have only seen one of the nominated movies: "Frankenstein." Excellent.
Annually, I watch all the Oscar nominated movies, and the Globes usually offer a hint on which they will be. Trying to decide whether to continue this tradition.

Unfortunately, Dale Murphy did not get inducted into the #MLB Hall of Fame as deserving as he was. Hopefully, this will move voters to select him next year.
@ajc.com editorials are rare, but here's one that just published related to the nation's favorite pastime.

For the love of the game, send Dale Murphy to Cooperstown
The Braves legend, who tore up the National League in the 1980s, has been waiting to get the call since his name first appeared on the ballot in 1999.

Our politics team reports that the state GOP is concerned that the competition to succeed MJT could open (if ever so slightly) the door to a Democrat to win her north Georgia district (D-14).
On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, I talk with @bluestein.bsky.social about what’s left on Congress’s plate for the year and the impact of MTG’s resignation. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Last time I posted here was about six months ago. I had recently left The Tennessean (after 25 years w/USA TODAY) for @ajc.com. Today, I celebrated by 7-month AJC anniversary. I have so enjoyed learning about Atlanta & working with my colleagues. I continue to feel an insatiable curiosity daily.
