The Significance of a Black Man Winning a Georgia Senate Seat

     In early September 1868, two months after Georgia’s readmission to the Union, its state legislature expelled 30 of its Black representatives.

#41: House Oversight Committee’s Revelations are Merely the Tip of Trump’s Iceberg of Graft

 A Washington Post investigation found that Trump’s company raked in at least $2.5 million in taxpayer money and $5.6 million in campaign funds during his presidency, — an incomplete accounting, as several federal agencies refused to turn over records to the Post. The Trumps’ illicit taxpayer-funded windfall included exorbitant overcharges like $2,600 per night for a house at Mar-a-Lago, $50 per palm for decorative palm trees, $7,700 for a catered dinner for 30 – more than $250 a plate — and more than $1,000 in liquor for a White House staff meeting.

Sen. Warnock’s Victory Is a Win for Georgia and America  

     On the night of his reelection, Sen. Warnock addressed all of this with his usual dignity. He gave the credit to Georgians for electing the state’s first Black and first Jewish senators at a time when the Far Right was trying to divide the country. He took on the conservative pundits claiming his victory was proof that there was no voter suppression in Georgia. Just because Georgia voters endured long lines in the rain doesn’t mean there is no suppression, he said. It means Georgians refused to have their voices silenced. […]

Trump tried during his first term at the helm to sink America’s democracy and replace it with his brand of autocracy. Having lost the 2020 presidential election, which was his second attempted voyage. Rather than this time sink the government, he ignited an insurrection and attempted to overthrow the government. […]
