'No Kings' permitted | RIP to NGP | Trump's FIFA furor

Briana Boyd with 50501 Georgia joined me just as word was breaking that the city of Atlanta had granted the organization's permit to march this Saturday for the second nationwide network of 'No Kings Day' rallies. Hear - from her perspective - what was causing such a fuss and trepidation on the city's part.

------

The New Georgia Project and its associated PAC are no more, as word broke this morning. Fret not, however; there are other voter registration organizations in the state ready to step up. They include Fair Count, GLAHR Action Network and We Vote We Win.

------

Trump's latest bluster, targeting FIFA World Cup host U.S. cities with a claim he could pull games from Boston, Santa Clara (he means San Francisco but the fool isn't aware the stadium is 45 minutes from the city in Santa Clara) and Seattle, has no relevance to Atlanta and Georgia ... or so you'd think. While we're in a state with a GOP governor (though one he isn't fond of), what happens if a Democrat wins the office in 2026 with the 2028 Super Bowl slated for February here?

Also, how's it help blue cities in blue states meet his demands to combat crime (already lower than in his first term) if he's pulling terrorism funding from those same states?

------

Lastly, time to stop calling those "young" Republicans exposed for their Telegram chatter "young;" they're all adults in their mid-20s or older. That doesn't make them "mature," but it sure doesn't make them "kids," either.
