Over the last few years, state lawmakers in Georgia and across the country have filed hundreds of bills focused on the transgender community. Even as Georgia and other Republican-led states have already passed laws dealing with bathrooms, sports, medical treatment and IDs, the bills keep coming. On this week's episode of "Plugged In," hosts Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali take a look at what's happening in Georgia and how Democrats are responding. Plus, Georgia Republicans' civil litigation overhaul has been signed into law and we look ahead to the 2026 midterms as the field for Senate and Governor races starts to take shape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In normal election years its hard to get voters engaged in public service commission races. In 2025, Georgians have the rare opportunity to elect two to the five-seat PSC board, and the candidates are adding up. With data centers potentially impacting your utility bills (and why should they?) and rates continuing to climb while Georgia Power rakes in eye-popping profits, these two races could become high profile. An opportunity for utility customers to rebuke their rate increases has to be tantalizing. Having a new consumer watchdog pop up is even more good news for utility customers / voters. ------International students in South Carolina, here in Georgia and throughout the country are seeing their student visas get revoked. Agein, something about 'due process' and first amendment rights being 'inalienable.' ------Lastly, my innate reaction to the news that former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms considering a gubernatorial run hasn't really come together quite as well as the AJC's Bill Torpy managed to word it, so I'm endorsing his rationale that she's a 'dream candidate' ... for Georgia Republicans to run someone against.

As Georgia Democrats regroup after a tough election cycle, some leaders are taking a proactive approach to rebuilding the party. On today's episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy sit down with State Sen. Josh McLaurin and State Rep. Ruwa Romman to discuss their strategy for moving forward and what they believe is needed to strengthen Democratic influence in the state.   Meanwhile, Governor Brian Kemp has successfully pushed his 'tort reform' measure through the state Senate, but now it faces a new battle in the House. We'll break down whether the legal overhaul will survive the session and what it could mean for businesses and consumers in Georgia.   Plus, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens prepares to deliver his final State of the City address of his first term. We'll preview his key priorities and how they could shape his reelection bid. And a renewed effort to honor Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is underway. Georgia Republicans are pushing to erect a statue in his honor, but they've adjusted their original plan to place it on the capitol grounds. We'll discuss the latest on this effort and the political debate surrounding it.   Have a question or comment for the show? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at 770-810-5297.

MAGA may not care that their heroes, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, keep getting caught in lies, but for the sake of history, the rest of us will just have to keep chronicling it, anyway.The latest: claims that 150+ year old people are getting Social Security checks; well, that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is sending check to people born that long ago (and longer) who are obviously not alive. I mean, someone produced a table and put it on a meme so to MAGA, it must be true, yeah?Well, no. I mean, it's not that there aren't some instances of poor management in the SSA, but not at the level DOGE & Trump+Musk insist. --------While Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) insist DOGE is doing a "careful scrub" of federal agencies, what's actually happening is key nuclear personnel were fired (erroneously?) and now the Trump administration is scrambling to figure out how to reach those fired people to re-hire them but they closed their federal emails and didn't have updated contact information to reach them. They also did this with USDA experts working to combat bird flu, hoping to re-hire them as well. --------Then there's DOGE claiming they saved $8 billion from an Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) contract, which makes no sense when ICE only has a $9 billion budget altogether. In their own spreadsheet it was actually $8 million, but in a fraudulent move, an "m" becomes a "b" and, well ... there goes at least half of what DOGE claims its saving taxpayers. That said, Elon is now floating someone else's idea that maybe (not really) DOGE will send out $5000 rebate checks to each household (Trump loves signing checks to us, remember). "Sure, Jan."-------Georgia Republicans are floating legislation that would let property owners seek a property tax rebate if the city they're in doesn't "handle" homelessness and panhandling. Their solution is to punish cities (clearly, Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon & Savannah - blue dots on the red map) already lacking in the funds to aid the unhoused and poor by taking away more funds. No solution(s) or state assistance offered in the bill; just ... an exacerbating of the problem. If ever there were a Republican that encapsulates modern day conservatism, this is the one.

I've been tough on Georgia Democrats not doing better waging a proper offensive in the war for information over disinformation, but they've gotten way better at it in recent months. Between Sen. Jason Esteves and Sen. Elena Parent, House Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook, the messaging is organic and yet still well-produced - and that's a big pivot from the recent past. And it's more necessary than ever, with Georgia Republicans breathlessly racing to pass a sales tax holiday for gun and gun paraphernalia purchases when there's no appetite for gun safety measures, let alone a school sales tax holiday. ---------------Forner Trump chief of staff (the one responsible for the pandemic response unit being dismantled) John Bolton made the rounds late last week to sound the alarm bells on his former boss' complete capitulation (he uses the term 'surrender') to Vladimir Putin's demands re: Ukraine. "The Art Of the Deal," though, right? ---------------Friday morning saw the rollout of draconian federal workforce cuts - notably at the Centers for Disease Control under new HHS Secretary (a buffoon, per classmate Lawrence O'Donnell) Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Now, looms the threats of education cuts - if not the entire department going away - with its funds disproportionately benefitting states Trump won in 2024. A recent CNN story in Kentucky found a few "trees for chainsaws" voters at a rural Kentucky school and district giving us their insights. This is the "found out" portion of their plight. What's ironic is, Elon Musk recently labeled a large portion of Americans as "parasites," which means a lot of MAGA voters, themselves, are "parasites" to their billionaire cult hero. ---------------The latest "cartoonishly Trumpy" bootlick? Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) filing a bill to buy Greenland and rename it "Red, White and Blue-land." I sh*t you not. ---------------The last of my "trees for chainsaws" convos centers around heavily-Latino Reading, PA, where a 16% surge in Trump support in 2024 led to a lot "wait; what?" sentiment from citizens now along with hints for Democrats to swing the pendulum back in the near future.

A bill banning transgender athletes from participating in women's sports has become a top priority for Georgia Republicans this legislative session. On today's episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell speak with State Senator Greg Dolezal about the bill's focus, its potential impact and what's next for the legislation. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's decision to slash billions from the National Institutes of Health has sent shockwaves through the medical community. We explore how these cuts will affect life-saving research at Emory, UGA, and Georgia Tech, and what it means for the future of critical medical trials. Plus, a new Democratic name is considering a run for Georgia governor in 2026, while two Republican contenders are already building massive war chests for the race. Finally, at last week's Politically Georgia On the Road event in Washington, D.C., Tia sat down with Dr. Keneshia Grant from Howard University and Dr. Minkah Makalani from Johns Hopkins University. They explored the decline of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in Georgia and discussed whether there's potential for a reversal amid shifting political priorities.   Have a question or comment for the show?

Sometimes when I launch into a topic I have no idea where the stream of consciousness is going to take me, but damned if this isn't a good one, y'all, if I do say so myself. Georgia Republicans want to make Georgia a "closed primary" state, and that's (spoiler alert) bad for democracy. If Republicans are for something, when it comes to elections, you can be sure it's "bad for democracy." Now, listen, fellow Democrats ... we have to accept that our issues in 2016 exposed that we weren't exactly "pro-democracy" or all about "open primaries" ourselves, either, so take your medicine when I discuss that and how it correlates with the current conversation. A majority of Americans (58%) seek a complete overhaul of governance, and while they're getting one, it's not the one they wanted. At least 53% oppose Elon Musk's involvement. Doesn't that mean the left's ideas have a better shot with voters, if given the choice? Speaking of Bernie Sanders, he and just ten other Democratic Senators have managed to oppose every Trump Cabinet appointment (save for Marco Rubio) - netting a meager "10%" Thune score (John Thune, Senate Majority Leader). We're starting to see evidence of the Democatic party bowing up - and with DOGE's incursion into the US Treasury, a rally yesterday featured Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Rep. Jamie Raskin, among others, speaking of solidarity and action. We'll see ... Meanwhile just a week after my guest, Professor Anthony "Tony" Lemieux noted that Trump's J6 pardons mean 'if you do things in service of Donald Trump, you will be ... protected from the ramifications from it." That's going to be tested in a South Carolina case where a white guy has been charged with kidnapping, larceny and assault & battery, along with impersonating a law enforcement officer after a disturbing video surfaced showing him harassing a Spanish-speaking man in a truck, taking keys from the ignition and dangling them in the driver's face while insinuating he'd be deported "back to Mexico." Expect more acts like this, though, with Republican lawmakers eager to put bounties out for citizens to be encouraged to "hunt" for. This is how Germany lurched towards Nazism in the 1930s. Literally.

Gerrymandering Georgia's map "played out just like Georgia Republicans intended" - as the Atlanta Journal Constitution deftly points out. The term isn't a sexy one, but as much as American voters hate government and "Congress" in particular, when can we have a discussion on eliminating what makes them so unpopular? Pete Hegseth is Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, much to the shock to this inside the Pentagon, Congress and in the retired ranks. That hasn't stopped some Trumpers from trying to compare his lack of qualifications to that of Pete Buttigeig. Wait'll you hear how one conservative pundit self-owned on that comparison, though. Trump's also openly calling for r̶e̶p̶a̶r̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ restitution for "victims" of DEI initiatives at colleges and universities. On to discuss this and the mood of the black electorate after the 2024 election is Dante King, author of "The 400-Year Holocaust," and producer of the forthcoming docuseries "Diagnosing Whitensss and Anti-Blackness."

This past Monday, our favorite historian Heather Cox Richardson joined Red Wine & Blue for a virtual event. We were hoping to hear her insight into how this election fits into the broader story of American history, and what we might expect over the next two weeks.But if we're being honest, what we really wanted was for Heather to tell us that it was all going to be okay.And of course she couldn't tell us that with certainty. She's a historian, not a soothsayer. But she did offer some words of hope.Our own podcast co-host Rep. Jasmine Clark also joined the call, and she talked about Georgia Republicans' efforts to undermine voting in her state. During the pandemic, Georgia began offering ballot drop boxes, which were extremely popular and widely used. But despite that — or really, because of that—Republicans changed the rules and now most of the drop boxes are no longer available.That could be a disheartening story about voter disenfranchisement, but Heather encouraged us to look at it a different way. If extremist policies were popular, why would they take away drop boxes? If most Americans supported Project 2025, why are they trying so hard to keep us from voting?It's because we're the majority. Most Americans want to elect common sense candidates up and down the ballot. And we're not letting the suppression keep us from voting. In Georgia, and many states across the country, voter turnout numbers are breaking records.We have the power. We just have to use it.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!

On Tuesday night, with three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald Trump was in Georgia.In 2020, he lost the state by around 12,000 votes, and Georgia became central to his claims that the election had been stolen. After his defeat, he went after Republican state officials and voting machines.At his rally on Tuesday, he was doing something different. He was encouraging people to vote early, to participate in a system his party had previously questioned.The plan was to make the results “too big to rig” — just one part of the Republican strategy to make sure last time doesn't repeat itself.On today's show, we take a closer look at the Trump ground game in Georgia and explore why Georgia Republicans are confident that 2024 won't be like 2020.

Vice President and now-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is coming to stump in Atlanta. It's Harris' first Georgia visit since becoming the likely Democratic nominee for president, and her 15th this year alone. The team talks about how this latest visit may serve as a wake-up call for the Georgia GOP, which has been unusually silent in recent days. Saba Long, executive director of the Atlanta Civic Circle, and Republican Strategist Brian Robinson join host Lisa Rayam on this latest edition of Political Breakfast.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

LISTEN: On the Friday, July 19 edition of Georgia Today: A global tech outage affects Georgia businesses both large and small; Georgia Republicans are confident after their national convention wraps up in Milwaukee; and the last ever Atlanta tennis open will have its opening serve this weekend. 

Trump found guilty on all 34 counts against him. Justice or not? The implications for the reputation of our legal system While other voices on the right become unhinged with talk of retaliation Georgia Republicans react. Senator Colton Moore takes the opportunity of Trump's conviction to attack Republicans. Senator Ossoff visits the border and breaks with his party. Kemp 2028? New RNC Committee Woman Amy Kremer says Georgia Republicans are corrupt. Georgia Ethics Commission software do-over  McBath for Governor?

While Harrison Butker's misogynistic, anti-gay commencement address is still fresh in our minds, it's noteworthy (as Page Six noted) that his mother is a highly-respected and accomplished Emory physicist, and not a homemaker. The first presidential debate is set - and to be held in Atlanta at CNN. Who needs a whole messy convention, anyway, right? Jay Bookman (wisely) asked: "Why can governors appoint justices based on their ideology, but voters can't?" Georgia Republicans are pushing for a Hank Aaron statue in Statuary Hall. They couldn't agree on John Lewis, but Aaron, they're all for. Problem is, neither Aaron nor Lewis are from Georgia, originally. Is that an issue? Lastly, before POTUS swoops into town Sunday to give the Morehouse commencement, he spent time with "Big Tigger" on V-103. Also, Morehouse' president was on NPR telling us how he'd shut the whole thing down if necessary.

Monday, May 13th, 2024Today, Trump could face a $100M tax bill if he loses his IRS audit fight; the DoJ is asking for 40 years in prison with a terror enhancement for the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer; Clarence Thomas has hurt fee fees and calls DC a hideous place; Georgia Republicans have ousted the guy who voted illegally nine times; the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington want the FEC to investigate Trump settlement cover ups; WABC has canceled Rudy Giuliani's radio show cuz he can't stop lying; the House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep Ronny Jackson; the DC Circuit Court has denied Steve Bannon's contempt appeal; Matt Gaetz was denied a prison visit to Pete Navarro; Kristi Noem is running into more problems; the DOJ is stonewalling the house ethics probe into Matt Gaetz; plus Allison delivers your Good News.Promo Code:For up to 30% off all mattress orders AND two free pillows for our listeners!

Georgia Republicans to END Fani Willis after SHOCKING news breaks!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene says Georgia State Republicans need to enforce long passed ‘sanctuary city' laws in their own state stop pointing the finger at the Biden administration. “We could revisit every single American murder by an illegal alien, whether it's an actual murder, or whether they're killed in a car accident, whether they're killed by an illegal alien drinking and driving or doing drugs, whatever it is, or trafficking illegals across the state border that killed two of my constituents last year, every single time it happened, it shouldn't have happened. It was an it was avoidable. And you know, here in Georgia, I've gotten really tired of watching my Georgia Republicans here and in our state, pointing the finger at the Biden administration. When in the state of Georgia, we have a Republican governor, we have a Republican state legislator, and we have a Republican attorney general. And the fact that they passed a law years ago that we do not have sanctuary cities here in the state of Georgia. But yet at the same time, these same Republicans have turned their head and ignored the fact that Democrat-run cities like Athens and the city of Atlanta, do harbor illegal aliens, they choose to not prosecute them,” said the Georgia Congresswoman.

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Politically Georgia" podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell welcome the dynamic duo of Brian Robinson and Tharon Johnson.   First up, Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed for months to have U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeached. Now, she's succeeded with her goal. Georgia's delegation was split along party lines with all Republicans in favor and all Democrats opposed. The final vote was 214-213.  Georgia Republicans in the U.S. House blame Mayorkas for a flood of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The matter now moves to the Senate, where Democrats hold control of the chamber. So how far can this matter go?  Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp pledged to send a small contingent of National Guard troops to the Texas border.  Then, Democrats won a key special congressional election last night in New York. Democrat Tom Suozzi won the seat that had been held by George Santos, making the Republican majority in the House even more fragile.  And, the State Election Board voted against ending no-excuses absentee voting.    LINKS TO TODAY'S TOPICS    Georgia Republicans celebrate Mayorkas impeachment, urge Senate to act  Georgia GOP Gov.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 12th    Publish Date:  Jan 11th      HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, January 12th and Happy heavenly Birthday to boxer Joe Frazier. ***01.12.24 – BIRTHDAY – JOE FRAZIER*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commissioners will vote on 'intent' to call for transit referendum on Tuesday Inflation causing 6 in 10 millennials to treat themselves at home more Mill Creek Grad Making Her Mark at Kennesaw State University All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Gwinnett commissioners will vote on 'intent' to call for transit referendum Gwinnett County commissioners are taking steps towards a November referendum that could decide the fate of the county's transit system. The required meeting with city leaders was held last Tuesday, and a key vote is scheduled for this Tuesday to begin the formal process of calling for a referendum. The vote will determine whether to hold another vote in spring to officially call for the referendum in November. If approved, Gwinnett voters would decide whether to implement a 1% special sales tax for transit expansion. The proposed plan focuses on buses, microtransit, and bus rapid transit, excluding rail expansion. The new transit plan aims to address previous concerns and has garnered support from city officials. STORY 2: Inflation causing 6 in 10 millennials to treat themselves at home more Based on recent findings, it appears that a significant number of millennials are opting for special nights in with self-pampering rather than dining out. This trend seems to be driven by the rising cost of living and inflation, with 63% of millennials attributing their preference to these economic factors. Despite these challenges, they are willing to spend approximately $160 on a special meal at home for two, indulging in items like seafood, stuffed olives, and chocolates. The study also noted a growing interest in experiential eating at home, such as creating wood-fired pizzas and assembling charcuterie boards. Interestingly, the survey revealed that millennials are three times more likely to treat their partner to a special meal at home than themselves. As for cheese-related preferences, the study indicated several misconceptions among respondents, although the specifics were not detailed. STORY 3: Great Chemistry: Mill Creek Grad Making Her Mark at Kennesaw State University Ra'Nya Malone, a biochemistry major at Kennesaw State University, credits a high school English essay assignment, a love for science, and her aunt's influence for her academic journey. Her essay led her to interview her aunt's classmate, Dr. Carl Saint-Louis, KSU's assistant professor of chemistry. Joining Saint-Louis' lab, Malone co-authored a published paper and participated in a National Science Foundation-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates. She presented her research at KSU's Symposium of Student Scholars and impressed scientists at conferences, securing two summer REU opportunities. Malone envisions a future in pharmaceuticals, driven by her passion for the positive impact of chemistry on the world. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back   Break 2: GCPS – TOM WAGES – INGLES 7   STORY 4: Americans take this long to give up on their health resolutions A survey of 2,000 Americans who work out at least once a week revealed that the average active American would abandon their health-related resolutions about seven weeks into the new year. Of those surveyed, 29% confessed they would last less than a month on their resolutions. The research found that definitions of "unhealthy" foods varied, with 1 in 6 mistakenly believing all high-calorie foods are unhealthy. Some respondents associate healthy eating with avoiding carbs (24%) or sacrificing taste (18%). The study, conducted by OnePoll for egglife, highlights the diverse perspectives on health and nutrition and the challenges individuals face in making lifestyle changes. STORY 5: Will this be the year Georgia Republicans soften decade-long refusal of full Medicaid Expansion? Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns has indicated openness to exploring a "private option" for Medicaid expansion, a shift from the state's decade-long rejection of full expansion under the Affordable Care Act. Burns mentioned the possibility of expanding access to health care through a private option for lower-income working families, emphasizing a fiscally responsible approach to lower premiums. Georgia is one of 10 states that have not fully expanded Medicaid, and discussions around a potential private option represent a significant departure from previous Republican positions. Any proposal would likely involve changes to the state's certificate-of-need program.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – DTL – JACKSON EMC   STORY 6: Advocates concerned about proposed change to Coastal Georgia marsh protections Coastal Georgia regulators are considering changes to a rule designed to protect the state's marshes, a crucial buffer against storms and rising sea levels. The proposed change focuses on a 50-foot buffer measured from the "upland component" of a project with a Coastal Marshlands Protection Act (CMPA) permit. The amendment aims to exempt small projects from the upland component buffer requirement to address concerns about the burden on homeowners. Critics argue for a broader review, emphasizing the potential impact of bulkheads on the marsh and the need to reconsider development close to the marsh. Public comments on the proposal are accepted until January 19.   STORY 7: Northeast Georgia Health System receives national recognition for simulation center The Northeast Georgia Health System's simulation center has received accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, recognizing its commitment to providing a safe environment for healthcare professionals to practice skills in a simulated clinical setting. The accreditation ensures improved patient outcomes, reduced costs, and positions NGHS as a trusted institution for healthcare education. The Becker's Hospital Review also named NGHS among 34 hospitals and health systems with outstanding simulation and education programs, acknowledging its partnerships with high schools, colleges, EMS, and law enforcement agencies to train various healthcare professionals and students.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Prosecutions are never supposed to be criminal. For two centuries, America largely avoided Third World political persecutions, but that norm has been obliterated in the left's drive to Get Trump. Missouri AG candidate and Trump legal team member Will Scharf explains the ramifications of the coordinated Biden-led courtroom offensive against Trump, and also explains why presidential immunity ought to protect Trump from the wave of indictments against him. Then, Georgia GOP chief Josh McKoon explains how Georgia Republicans can intervene to stop Fani Willis's machinations — if they can develop the backbone needed to try. Finally, Charlie concludes with a major announcement in his push to fix the GOP.   For more content, become a member at Members.CharlieKirk.com!Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph welcomes newspaper publisher, Steve McNamara, to discuss the "San Quentin News," California's largest resident-run newspaper and the birthplace of the San Quentin News Forum— where incarcerated men and visiting police, attorneys, and judges share their perspectives on the criminal justice system. Then Peter Lurie, President of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) joins us to talk about CSPI's work advocating for a safer, healthier food system, as well as their newsletter "NutritionAction." Plus, Ralph questions why the US still hasn't ratified the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child— everyone else has done it!Steve McNamara is a newspaper publisher, editor, and reporter. He has previously written for and edited the Winston-Salem Journal, The Miami Herald, Car and Driver magazine, and the San Francisco Examiner. From 1966 to 2004 Steve and his wife, Kay McNamara, published the Pacific Sun—the country's second-oldest alternative weekly newspaper— and Steve has served as president of the California Society of Newspaper Editors and as founding president of the National Association of Alternative Media. In 2008 he helped revive the San Quentin News— a newspaper written and edited by incarcerated men at San Quentin Prison— and continues to work as a volunteer adviser at the paper. The recidivism rate among the inmates is zero… And actually, the problem that we have is the turnover is terrific because they keep getting paroled or serving their sentence. Steve McNamara, San Quentin NewsPrisons are little empires and the emperor is the warden, and what he decides goes. And many, if not most of the other wardens in California wanted no part of this damn newspaper. So we had a lot of trouble getting it distributed. But by now it's become very popular with the inmates throughout the state, and with many of the correctional officers as well. Because we've made some intelligent decisions. One was to write the personality profiles of some of the better correctional officers and of the programs that take place in the prison.Steve McNamara, San Quentin NewsMost people in the criminal justice system think that it goes this way: somebody breaks into a house, and then they get caught, and they go before a judge, and they get sentenced, and they disappear. And as far as many, many people in the criminal justice system are concerned, that's the end of it. These people have disappeared. We don't need to worry about them any more. But as everybody should know, 80-90% of them will be back on the streets…So do you want these guys to have the same sort of attitude about life as they did when they went into prison? If not, here's a chance maybe to move things in a better direction.Steve McNamara, San Quentin NewsI've credited the Center for Science in the Public Interest with transforming the nutritional habits of perhaps 40 million people. It generated front page news, it was on the evening television news, Congressional hearings. Recently, and this has happened to a lot of citizen groups, the media has not been covering what we're doing.Ralph NaderDr. Peter Lurie is President and Executive Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest—an independent, science-based consumer advocacy organization that advocates for a safer, healthier food system. The CSPI also publishes NutritionAction, a healthy-living guide for consumers. Dr. Lurie previously worked with the Food and Drug Administration and Public Citizen's Health Research Group, where he co-authored their Worst Pills, Best Pills consumer guide to medications.We at CSPI try to educate consumers on the one hand. And on the other hand, we try to take care of the environment such that consumers in some ways don't even need to be as educated because the environment is different.Peter Lurie, President of Center for Science in the Public InterestI think that most people—including in all likelihood the Current Commissioner— understand that the food program within FDA has been the sort of “poor stepchild” of  the agency. People have focused more on drugs, they've focused more on medical devices, vaccines, even more recently on tobacco. And so food has been relatively neglected. And I think that we've at times paid the price for that.Peter Lurie, President of Center for Science in the Public InterestThere's no issue too trivial for the industry to show up in an obviously self-interested way and advocate on their own behalf.Peter Lurie, President of Center for Science in the Public InterestIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. Late last week, the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision in the Cemex Construction Materials case, establishing a “new framework” that “when a union requests recognition on the basis that a majority of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit have designated the union as their representative, an employer must either recognize and bargain with the union or promptly file a... petition seeking an election.” Crucially though, this ruling also establishes that “if an employer who seeks an election commits any unfair labor practice that would require setting aside the election, the petition will be dismissed, and—rather than re-running the election—the Board will order the employer to recognize and bargain with the union.” This stunning decision is among the most important revisions to labor rules in decades and will apply retroactively.2. On a hot streak, Bloomberg Law reports that the NLRB also decided last week that Quickway Transportation “must reopen a terminal in Louisville, [Kentucky], that the company illegally shut down in 2020 after drivers there formed a union.” This sets a powerful new precedent for recourse against companies that have used the tactic of shutting down locations in order to stave off unionization – most notably Starbucks.3. The American Prospect reports that in Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp has aggressively courted EV manufacturers using Inflation Reduction Act tax incentives. Yet, Governor Kemp has awarded these “lucrative contracts for building out the factories to non-union construction firms.” These firms also happen to be major donors to Georgia Republicans, including Kemp himself, who formerly owned a non-union construction company. 4. Mondoweiss has published a new report on the founding of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism. This Institute “aims to support the delinking of the study of Zionism from Jewish Studies, and to reclaim academia and public discourse for the study of Zionism as a political, ideological, and racial and gendered knowledge project, intersecting with Palestine and decolonial studies, critical terrorism studies, settler colonial studies, and related scholarship and activism.”6. NBC News reports that a group of nearly 90 Democratic members of Congress sent a letter to President Biden last week calling on him to take further action to address the student debt crisis. These members ended the letter by writing “We urge you to continually find ways to use your authority to bring down student debt, address the rising cost of college, and make postsecondary education affordable for all students who choose that path. Borrowers have already waited nearly a year for the relief you announced in August 2022, and critics of your plan to help 43 million Americans are likely to renew their attacks with regard to your rulemaking announcement. We urge you to reject their bad-faith, partisan attempts to delay relief and carry out your efforts to help borrowers as quickly as possible.”7. According to the Baltimore Banner, Charm City may soon be facing its own version of the Cop City fight. Per the report, Baltimore officials are planning to construct a “tactical village” which will be used to train police. There are some differences between the projects however: whereas Atlanta's Cop City is slated to be built upon a razed section of forest, Baltimore's tactical village is proposed to be built on the campus of Coppin State University, a historically Black institution. Another key difference, while Cop City is estimated to cost $90 million, the tactical village is estimated at a whopping $330 million. The city has proposed a new “public safety income tax” to fund the project.8. The Washington Post has published a profile of Sarah Feinberg, an employee at the defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton who blew the whistle on rampant over-billing of the government by the company. In July, Booz Allen agreed to pay $377 million to settle the case. Perhaps the most shocking portion of her complaint was when “a senior manager…called federal auditors “too stupid” to notice overcharging.”9. WTOP reports the fast-casual chain Chipotle has agreed to pay over $300,000 in a settlement with the District of Columbia regarding the company's alleged violations of child labor law. DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb's office identified more than 800 alleged violations in the District, including “requiring minors to work past 10 p.m., working more than eight hours a day, working more than six consecutive days, or working more than 48 hours in one workweek.” The settlement does not require Chipotle to admit wrongdoing.10. Finally, AP reports that, during an address to Jesuits in Lisbon,  Pope Francis “[said] ‘backward' U.S. conservatives have replaced faith with ideology.” So remember listeners, now when you say conservatives have replaced faith with ideology, you can cite the Pope.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

A growing number of patriot Republicans, as opposed to the feckless sniveling neocon RINOs, are calling for the impeachment of the corrupt Fulton County DA Fani Willis, and they're going to do just that!   Highlights:  ●     “So, we're finally starting to see patriot Republicans make their move; that was Georgia State Senator Colton Moore who's leading the effort to impeach the lunatic DA Fani Willis over the ridiculous weaponized legal witch hunt against President Trump. And this call for impeachment has some real teeth to it.” ●     “Trump and his legal team along with all 18 of his co-defendants are in the process of getting this legal lunacy tossed out! Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, and others have already filed to have the case ‘removed' from state court to federal court on the grounds that it targets their actions as a federal official.” ●     “According to an AJC poll, 94% of Georgia Republicans believe this Fulton County indictment is a political witch hunt. 94 effing percent! What planet are Brian Kemp and Chris Carr living on? This is what's ultimately going to get this lunatic DA impeached!”   Timestamps:  [02:49] Georgia legislature passed the Bill 92 [03:30] Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich on Fani Willis' removal from office [06:43] Republican politicians pushing back against the impeachment efforts   Resources:  ●     HE'LL BE BACK!

Georgia Republicans have an obvious step they can take to halt the lawfare against their party and their movement: Defund Fani Willis's office and her sinister partisan targeting of Donald Trump and his allies. So why aren't they taking that step by calling a special session to take action? Georgia state senator Colton Moore joins to discuss his struggle to drag his state's GOP in a positive direction. Plus, Trump attorney Alina Habba tells the tale of what happened on Thursday, and lays out Fani Willis's plan to not just send Trump to prison, but to sabotage his campaign for 2024.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why haven't Georgia Republicans already shut down Fani Willis's politically driven persecution of Donald Trump and his allies? Why didn't they shut it down months ago? Georgia state senator Clint Dixon joins Charlie to take a stand against do-nothing "Ribbon-Cutting Republicans" describe the odds of finally moving the state party to action. Plus, what will be more important on Wednesday night? The overcrowded GOP debate — or Donald Trump's decision to skip it? Brexit prophet Nigel Farage will be in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, and joins to describe how, if nothing else, the debate will be a good tryout for the VP nod.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
