Jon Ossoff is gonna smoke Mike Collins

Remarkable.

Endorsement graphic showing Josh with AFL-CIO logo and the words “Endorsed! Josh McLaurin for Lieutenant Governor”

Really grateful to have the Georgia AFL-CIO’s endorsement in my race for Lieutenant Governor. As income/wealth inequality and corporate greed keep getting worse, it matters immensely to have the trust of working people in building a campaign to fight back. Thankful to my friends in organized labor.

Suddenly more excited for JD to come stump for Georgia Republicans at my alma mater, UGA, this week

We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

IMO there’s been a big shift between when Trump’s unhinged posts / rants were coded as powerful versus now, when they are coded as not. Don’t know if it’s as simple as public opinion shifting, but there’s clearly a sense everyone has been tired of it for months—including his 2024 coalition.

got to share this @bencollins.bsky.social banger with some colleagues today and am now sharing it here because he really did nail it

This is a stunning insight

Yet never has so much been seen, so precisely, by so many people who understand so little of what they are seeing. A system can tell you where a man is. It cannot tell you what his death will mean for a nation. Such systems are trained on behavior, not on meaning — they can track what an adversary does but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

Haven’t been here in a min. Just popping in to let yall know Georgia is going blue in the midterm. Crazy but true

Statement from Sen. Ossoff on Michigan Synagogue Attack

Unfortunately we have to vote on it as a whole (and it’s an amended budget, so more of a course correction than the new big budget setting priorities for next fiscal year). There’s much to like even if I don’t like big chunks of it - and it’s also not final vote. They’ll do conference committee.

Apparently there is some reporting that Trump is upset about the tariffs decision.

Thank you, Professor!

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

American democracy is the “nerd stands up to bully” YouTube video genre right now

Doesn’t feel like it right now, but I think getting over Donald Trump is going to be the easy part compared to the decades-long confrontation with why Donald Trump happened and the constitutional / social reform necessary to heal from it.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I dunno, man … good luck vilifying the Veterans Affairs ICU nurse on an issue on which the administration is already well underwater …

They’re at a point where they have almost nothing to lose by lying because it’s already as bad as it can be

AOC: "What we are seeing is an administration that's deeply afraid of its own unpopularity. We must remember that we outnumber them. Donald Trump is less popular than he has ever been before. The GOP is on its back heels."

Re: In Re: United States of America No. 26-1135 Dear Chief Judge Colloton, I apologize for addressing this letter to you, but, for reasons I will describe, I do not have any other option. I am working from home today, as the program that my mentally disabled adult son attends each day is closed because of the extreme cold At 11:34 am, I received an email regarding Case No. 26-1135, entitled "In re: United States of America." The order in its entirety read: The motion of the United States to seal is granted. The Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota is invited to file a response, at his discretion, to the petition for writ of mandamus. Any response is due by 2:00 p.m. Friday, January 23. This is the first that I have heard of any petition for a writ of mandamus. The United States did not have the courtesy to tell me that they would be filing such a petition, nor did the United States serve the petition on me. I am unable to access any documents in Case No. 26-1135 because, at the request of the United States, the case is sealed-apparently even from me. So I have been given about two-and-one-half hours to respond to a mandamus petition that I have not read and cannot read. Apparently I am supposed to guess what the petition is about and guess what the mandamus petition says and then respond. I will do so.

The Honorable Steven M. Colloton January 23, 2026 Page 2 On the evening of Tuesday, January 20, the United States presented an application for eight arrest warrants to Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko in connection with the disruption of a religious service at Cities Church on Sunday, January 18. Judge Micko was the magistrate judge who was on duty at the time. Judge Micko found there was probable cause to issue warrants with respect to three of the suspects but not with respect to the other five. Minutes after Judge Micko signed three arrest warrants, the U.S. Attorney notified me that his office wanted a district judge to review Judge Micko's decision -either by hearing an appeal of that decision or by considering the application de novo. The first thing I did is ask our Clerk's Office to randomly assign a district judge to consider the government's request. I was the judge who was randomly assigned. It is important to emphasize that what the U.S. Attorney requested is unheard of in our district or, as best as I can tell, any other district in the Eighth Circuit. I have surveyed all of our judges — some of whom have been judges in our District for over 40 years —and no one can remember the government asking a district judge to review a magistrate judge's denial of an arrest warrant. I have also surveyed the chief judges of all of the districts in the Eighth Circuit. I have heard back from almost all of them, and all of those responding have said that, to their knowledge, no district judge has ever reviewed the decision of a magistrate judge to deny an arrest warrant. The reason why this never happens is likely that, if the government does not like the magistrate judge's decision, it can either improve the affidavit and present it again to the same magistrate judge or it can present its case to a grand jury and seek an indictment. On Wednesday, January 21, I informed the U.S. Attorney that because he was asking me to do something that was unprecedented, and because m…

A magistrate judge found no probable cause to support arrest warrants for 5 people involved in the St. Paul church protest.

DOJ appealed to the 8th Cir.

That appeal led to this remarkable letter from the Chief Judge of the Minnesota district court…

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

It’s been exactly one year since swearing in. The next 3 are about to be some of the most difficult in decades.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
