This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

The Grand Jury’s refusal to indict Letitia James is excellent news
The government can try to present the case once again
But even if they do, that should bolster her motion to dismiss for selective prosecution
And provide more evidence to condemn the MAGA DOJ when Democrats regain power

As a former prosecutor, I know a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. The grand jury’s refusal today to indict Letitia James shows this case should never have been brought.
When we flip the House, we will investigate everyone involved for abuse of power.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

There is a LOT in this legislation, to the point that big changes for Alberta's legal regulator are all the way at the bottom, including:
-Law Society of Alberta can't mandate training/education beyond a specific scope
-Conduct decision appeals go to Court of King's Bench
