This is just ridiculous

Giving guns to teachers won’t keep us safe. John, my jaw dropped when I heard the latest proposal from Georgia Republicans. Our extremist far-right Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones wants to pay teachers up to $10k – in taxpayer money – to carry guns in schools. Calling this a bad idea is a…

The GOP is going to gerrymander my district yet again
