Friday, May 2, 2025 - May Day's distress signal, Marge's prospects & Charlie's big list of endorsements

Protests in Atlanta⁠ and elsewhere "May Day" Thursday were but another chapter in a growing saga of organic "distress signals" from activists deeply concerned about federal workforce and entitlement cuts and an executive branch showing disregard for the other two, and the rule of law. Joining me to give some background on the organic, unaffiliated nature of the '⁠50501'⁠ movement is Georgia vice-chair Bri Boyd. But not before we look into the field set for Saturday's Democratic Party of Georgia chair race. The candidate that stands out - at least the ⁠list of endorsements⁠ - is Charlie Bailey. The one that worries me the most? Former Augusta mayor Hardie Davis, with his ⁠ethics violation⁠ and ⁠issues of infidelity⁠. Not what the party needs heading its state organization. Then there's the prospect of Marjorie 'Taser' Greene running for the GOP nomination to unseat Jon Ossoff in the U.S. Senate. Georgia Recorder op/ed writer Jay Bookman believes (and I concur) ⁠her brand won't travel well, statewide⁠, and outside of the northwest Georgia Congressional district she moved into to run.
