Raphael Warnock doesn’t mess around

        Hi John --   After narrowly winning Democrats the Senate majority, Raphael Warnock knows better than to waste a single second in Congress.   This week, he's hard at work finalizing a bipartisan voting rights bill that should win the approval of …

Ted Lieu isn't going to let the GOP get away with this

        John --   When Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde described the Capitol insurrection as a “normal tourist visit,” Congressman Ted Lieu did not hold back from calling out his behavior for what it is: cultish.   Even now, the GOP is intent on whitewashi…

Re: Raphael Warnock

Raphael Warnock: “Shame on us...”

Brian Kemp’s new tactic
