Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda.

📣 @indivisible.org's response to what Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday.

...and despite what the right is saying about people who are against fascism, No Kings events have a commitment to nonviolent protesting.

This retired librarian’s monthly health care premium is going from $441 to over $1,100.

It’s outrageous. It’s immoral.

I’m going to keep fighting for Ken to have health care he can actually afford.

Solar power and data centers a focus for Public Service Commission candidate

Peter Hubbard, the Democrat running for Public Service Commission District 3, speaks with reporters after an Atlanta Press Club debate at the WABE studios in Atlanta, where he was the only PSC candidate to attend, on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025. (Ty Tagami/Capitol Beat) A solar power advocate who is running for a seat on Georgia’s energy regulation agency made his case without opposition Wednesday when his opponent declined to participate in a broadcasted debate. “Why didn’t you have the courage to show up today and defend your six rate hikes in two years,” Peter Hubbard, the Democrat running to unseat Republican Fitz Johnson from the Public Service Commission, said at the Atlanta Press Club debate Wednesday.
