3+ hour, 13+ min ago (219+ words) ACA subsidies are essential for many Americans As a resident of Stone Mountain in DeKalb County, I am deeply concerned about the looming health care crisis set to hit Georgia on Jan. 1. The enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are set to expire, leaving millions of families facing crushing premium increases or no insurance at all. nehw ew yaw ,su elbatpeccanu siht eseht eht eht gnidnuorrus seidisbus ytiruces .ksir lacitilop ruo ylno fo fo srobhgien ynam eussi si htlaeh htlaeh pihsnamsemag laicnanif laitnesse .egarevoc nac ta era era dna droffa ehT roF dnuorGnommoC" egru ot ot ot siht srotanes ,sevitatneserper .feiler sseldrager ,ytrap ruo ruo ytinutroppo fo fo ekil si .yletaidemmi dnuorg morf krowemarf dnif dnetxe lacitirc nommoc nasitrapib dna dna na lla ehT hciR snacilbupeR .peR .peR ,kcimroCcM nosnhoJ I knaH namssergnoC retraC ydduB "5202 "SEY…...
Retired lawmaker, dentist face off in Georgia Senate special election runoff
3+ hour, 14+ min ago (621+ words) A former member of the Cobb County Board of Education and a retired Georgia lawmaker go head-to-head in a runoff next week after being the two top vote-getters in last month's six-way special Senate election. Jaha Howard, the former school board member and a Democrat from Smyrna, received the most votes, according to results from the secretary of state's office. Howard faces former state Rep. Roger Bruce, a 22-year House veteran who retired at the beginning of the year. A runoff is required when no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote....
AI is coming for your kids and votes. Georgia should act now.
3+ hour, 43+ min ago (692+ words) A new AI-generated ad in Georgia's U.S. Senate race over the weekend was instructive and disturbing. The new spot from the National Republican Senatorial Committee targeted Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and was timed to coincide with the University of Georgia's appearance in the SEC football championships on Saturday night. The ad stars two AI-generated "sportscasters," who look perfectly real to the naked eye. But instead of sitting in front of a football field, they're sitting in front of an immigration detention facility....

4+ hour, 13+ min ago (1185+ words) Seven state championship games are set for next week at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the Class 5A bracket remains in limbo after a November melee delayed the semifinals until Thursday.

4+ hour, 13+ min ago (746+ words) WASHINGTON " U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ran for Congress in 2020 to fix a system she believed failed to deliver for the people.

From in-house to in court: Ex-Home Depot attorney joins King & Spalding
4+ hour, 13+ min ago (748+ words) For many senior lawyers, the idea of leaving a top in-house position at a Fortune 100 company after two decades may seem absurd. Will Barnette is different. The 56-year-old litigator has just hung up his orange apron as the Home Depot's associate general counsel to rejoin Atlanta law firm King & Spalding, where he spent several years early in his career....
Chronic absenteeism can’t be addressed by threats to children
4+ hour, 13+ min ago (554+ words) That being said, we have an alarming problem right now in Georgia schools concerning chronic absenteeism. Some 19.5% of our beautiful students in 2024-25 missed 10% or more days of school. That's about 18 school days in a single academic year. The year before that was 21.3% and 2021-22 had a startling 23.9% rate of students chronically absent. The trend line the past four years is going in the right direction, down, but it's a far cry from good. A state Senate study committee has proposed student driver's licenses should be on the chopping block if students are chronically absent. Piggybacking on Senate Bill 123 signed into law this year which prevents students from being expelled if they are chronically absent, the committee is trying to find ways to incentivize and de-incentivize the issue....
