Georgia Republicans failed you, too. Last year, we introduced SB 192 to solve this exact problem by creating premium tax credits in GA. Republicans ignored it. They didn't care. Republicans fail working Americans and Georgians every single day. #gapol

Trump and his Republican cronies have shut down the government, meaning sky high health insurance premiums, billions gone from our economy, and government programs like food and airline safety stopped.

Republicans say they're shutting down to stop "illegal immigrants" from getting government insurance. They're lying.

Vance's call to investigate and punish the Trump Administration's political opponents was disturbing...

Today, we reaffirm our commitment to fight, hand in hand, with all peaceful advocates to defend your right to dissent and free speech. #gapol

Let's be clear: political violence kills democracies. When we resort to killing political opponents, we abandon any notion that we can solve disputes at the ballot box. I am hoping Charlie Kirk recovers from this violent attack.

Georgia Republicans are attempting to follow in Florida's footsteps and gut our state income tax, and every publicly funded service that comes with it.

If the GOP gets their way, we can say goodbye to adequate funding for education, transportation, infrastructure, health care, and public safety.

We are still recovering from the damage of Hurricane Helene, and with FEMA gutted by Trump, what would happen if we saw another disaster like it?

We need to do what it takes to be prepared before natural disasters strike. Cutting FEMA's funding is not the solution.

The first vote of this special session in the TX House wasn’t flood relief—it was on a rigged redistricting map stealing millions of Texans’ votes.

We are standing up for democracy, for every American who believes voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around.

Republicans are hiding as women die due to their own vicious bans on abortion.

We aren't letting our foot off the gas. They need to be held accountable for the pain their laws have caused Georgians.

I am thankful for the safe return of all service members involved in last night’s airstrikes. I believe, like so many others, that diplomacy is the only way we can truly resolve this crisis. May God protect those who defend our country as this crisis continues.
