Ossoff flashes sharpened rhetoric & Tanya Miller reminds us who an AG is supposed to serve (it's us)

Plus: Clay Fuller tries out 'satire' for a side hustle and fails.

We haven't even crossed the 2026 finish line yet, and already the Democratic party's 2028 field is starting to not only reveal itself but flex its rhetorical might.

First up, though, concerns about election integrity have Democrats in Congress wondering (aloud) if the National Guard is going to adhere to Trump or the US Constitution. We (sort of) got that answer under oath last week.

Okay, so with polls showing Kamala Harris still pacing ahead of "the boys," Pete Buttigieg is among those guys out there hitting "flyover states" to sharpen their rhetoric. More on that later this week, but a sample towards the end of today's show.

The newly-minted part-time Congressman - Clay "sup brah" Fuller - took to the X platform to try his hand at satire, except it didn't stick. I mean, if this is some new "alter ego" shtick he's trying out, okay; it's just brand new, and when you recall his "word salad" moment on a televised debate recently, it's just hard to know when he's being satirical vs. when he's just ... aloof.

Georgia Democratic House causcus chair Rep. Tanya Miller has set her sights on being Georgia's next attorney general. She joined me for a prolonged conversation about her legal background, both as defensive attorney and prosecutor, coupled with her lawmaking background, making her an ideal candidate. She also reminded the audience who an attorney general is supposed to serve. Turns out it's us!

Senator Jon Ossoff (speaking of aspirations for 2028?) is working hard focusing on retaining his seat in the U.S. Senate, and coined the label "Mar a Lago mafia," in an eloquent rally speech in my hometown of Augusta.
