GA General Assembly session begins + Trump v2.0 continues to embarrass itself

In Georgia, attention turns to the start of the legislative session, the state’s massive budget surplus, transit and infrastructure debates, and what lawmakers may — or may not — accomplish in an election year. With activists there to "pack the capitol," Ron hung out at the capitol and caught up with Georgia 50501 vice-chair Briana Boyd about events they participated in with other organizations throughout metro Atlanta - from protests to vigils - in the aftermath of the deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota last week.

On that, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem - who needs to be impeached - was taken apart by CNN's Jake Tapper over her outright lies in the minutes following Renee Good's killing, along with the Trump administration's hypocrisy on treatment of interaction with law enforcement from January 6, 2021 to now with masked ICE agents.

Then there's the Trump DOJ carrying out "lawfare" against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and Powell's predictably classy stiff-spined response (on Federal Reserve social media, no less), as meanwhile, the Comey prosecutor who apparently seemed too timid to re-litigate James Comey's case, was let go.

Oh and the Trump EPA putting more priority on cost to businesses to handle pollution vs. the lives stemming pollutants would save. Just more outright comic book villainy.
