Monday, March 24, 2025 - Au, that stung; Ossoff launches & Jay Bookman on MAGA's 'giant game of Jenga'
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Governor Brian Kemp got the 'tort reform' he wanted this legislative session, and there were three House Democrats among the 91 votes he can thank for it. One of those votes came from Rep. Dr. Michelle Au (GA 50) , who penned a two-page letter-explanation to share on her social media. She's catching a lot of heat from her base for it. So are the handful of Republicans - including one who lost his jobs hours after voting against SB 68. Wow. Mob-like, no? ------ Meanwhile, Senator Jon Ossoff launched his re-election campaign in Atlanta over the weekend with a lot of fiery rhetoric - both supporters and critics noting how much attention he gave to Trump - to kickstart the 2026 cycle. With no current primary opposition (Esther Panitch being a 'hard no' now), all eyes are on who Ossoff will face. Right now, he's aiming at MAGA. It's a tactic. ------ Last week, Jay Bookman penned a piece equating the deconstruction of federal agencies to a 'giant game of Jenga.' He and I caught up to take that conversation a little further. Always an insightful conversation with the longtime writer/journalist.
