The Republican healthcare plan will end up costing taxpayers more and essentially act as “insurance in name only.” What a disgrace.

This is the type of governor we need in the state of Georgia. One who will stand up for it's residents against unlawful raids. #gapol
Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations.
The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

As a scientist, I’m disgusted by the attacks on CDC and NIH research. Years of work on asthma, cancer, vaccines, HIV—gone. I’ve been a Voice for Science since the March for Science, and in Congress, I’ll be the first women with a science PhD fighting to restore it.

In Fulton #GApol, data centers don't even need tax breaks (though most get them).
That's cos County Assessors only value them at 10-20% of what data center developers say they are worth.
Correcting this raises $48M this year. Another ~$140M/yr as $10 Billion more come on line.
