NEW: SoS Brad Raffensperger has set Georgia's presidential preference primary for March 12, 2024, dealing a blow to Democrats' hopes for an earlier (if symbolic) contest and giving Republicans a chance to select delegates for multiple candidates. #gapol

gpb.org/news/2023/05/0…
Georgia's presidential primary will come one week after "Super Tuesday" of states like Texas, California and North Carolina and a week before other key states like Arizona, Florida and Ohio.

gpb.org/news/2023/05/0…
Georgia Republicans will get fewer RNC delegates this year (since they didn’t win Senate races or last WH contest in GA) but it’s early enough it could make a difference in the fight to unseat Trump’s frontrunner status.
RNC rules state that any primary before March 15 must use proportional allocation instead of a winner-take-all scenario, meaning candidates who perform well in different congressional districts would split the state's estimated 59 delegates.

gpb.org/news/2023/05/0…
TL;DR: Georgia's primary could move up in future presidential cycles, this year could still have an impact on the GOP nomination (especially if Trump faces more indictments) and elections officials have yet another contest to begin prep for.

A police officer was on the scene and immediately rushed over to engage the shooter and *still* nine people died in what is a uniquely American ritual of mass shootings and convos about potential law changes get overshadowed by another mass shooting.

Some GOP lawmakers are blaming “mental health.”

Meanwhile, the Texas Tribune reports “Texas’ shortage of mental health care professionals is getting worse” and “When it comes to upping mental health services, Texas has a Medicaid problem”

Graphic videos were shared on social media, and this is what a bystander helper saw:

"The first girl I walked up to was crouched down covering her head in the bushes, so I felt for a pulse, pulled her head to the side and she had no face."

NEW: Judge gives Fulton County DA Fani Willis an extra two weeks to respond to Donald Trump's motion to essentially shut down any prosecution of post-2020 election interference after a fake elector joined the motion last week.

Combined response now due by May 15. #gapol Image
Last month, Trump's Georgia attorneys filed a sweeping motion seeking to:

-quash the semi-public special purpose grand jury final report
-prevent *any* prosecutors from using *any* evidence gathered by SPGJ
-disqualify Fulton DA from prosecution

That motion was joined last week by Cathy Latham, who was both a fake elector and involved with a scheme that led to unauthorized access to voting equipment in Coffee County.

STORY: Fulton DA Fani Willis is seeking to remove a lawyer from representing 10 Georgia Republicans who served as fake 2020 electors for Donald Trump after several of them allegedly accused a fellow elector of breaking state law last week. #gapol

gpb.org/news/2023/04/1…
The filing also allege the attorney also failed to notify her clients of potential immunity deals that prosecutors offered last summer + comes as charging decisions are expected soon in the sweeping investigation into Trump-led effort to overturn 2020.

gpb.org/news/2023/04/1…
The DA's filing reveals that as recently as last week, her office interviewed some of the fake electors + some said that another elector represented by the same lawyer "committed acts that are violations of Georgia law" and they weren't a part of that.

NEW filing in Georgia election interference probe - DA Fani Willis seeking to DQ an attorney for 10 of the GOP fake electors, citing interviews *last week* where some electors pointed fingers at another for violating law among other things. #gapol

documentcloud.org/documents/2378…
Also, the DA's office says that some of the 10 fake electors that Kimberly Debrow represents said they were never offered potential immunity, despite co-counsel telling the court none of them were interested.

Important to note, this attorney does *not* represent GAGOP chair David Shafer, who's a likely target of future indictments, or Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who isn't under investigation after DA was disqualified.

NPR gets ~2% of its money from federal grants, a few million dollars, and it’s editorially independent.

Also, an outlet like Voice of America is literally US-funded media and has no label.

It’s not about facts, it’s just capitalizing on poor media literacy to prove a point.
Linking to facts about NPR’s funding source isn’t going to change the minds of the people pushing/cheering for this, because they’re not operating in good faith.

It’s similar to people who hate The Media when they actually mean something specific.

npr.org/about-npr/1786…
Will this label change anything about how NPR operates as an independent media org? Probably not.

Will it affect the views of people who consume NPR (or complain about XYZ thing on NPR)? Probably not.

Is it instructive about our current media/political sphere? Absolutely.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just spoke at a protest in Manhattan, said Trump was innocent (of charges that nobody has seen), in a crowded area that was overwhelmingly media + that was only heard on cameras because she was drowned out IRL by some counterprotestors. #gapol
Rep. Greene said nothing she hasn't said before, there really wasn't a need for most of those cameras/people to turn it into a pushing/shoving media circus, we still don't know what the charges are and everyone's blowing smoke but hey, it's content!
I will be doing one (1) ~45 second audio newscast story about Georgia politicians' reactions pre- and post-arraignment because who is speaking out/what they say is worth covering, just not like the chaos others are manifesting!
