2026 'Blue Wave' candidate: Maura Keller + Dekalb's complicity with ICE is troubling
Maura Keller, a former Army lieutenant colonel with 26 years in service, is another Georgia Democrat (the third I've talked to on this show this month) who's taking another run at MAGA representation in Congress. Like Shawn Harris and Lexy Doherty, she, too, has a prodigious gap to close at the ballot box in her district (Georgia's 3rd). Wednesday, we discussed the ways to do that, the issues that matter most to her district's voters, her thoughts on sloppy military leadership at the Pentagon, the DOGE ruse (she also worked in government contracting, efficiency being a focus) and more.
------
As of posting, the El Salvadoran journalist in the U.S. with legal protected status to do so - Mario Gueara - has been apprehended by ICE after being held in a Dekalb County jail. He was arrested while covering Saturday's 'No Kings Day' protests in that county with some (my opinion) some pretty flimsy charges. Listen to the exchange as you see how far from protestors and police he was prior to being confronted. His attorney, Giovanni Diaz, and daughter Katherine Guevara, addressed the media late Tuesday, as well.
------
Lastly, what's gotten into Tucker Carlsoon? My hunch? Nothing new: he's a white nationalist but he's also exhibited antisemitic tendencies, too, so his needling of Ted Cruz in a one-on-one may not be so surprising. Still, it's enjoyable to watch a smug Cruz hem and haw, flailing and failing to give cogent responses to what had to feel like something of an ambush with an interviewer he expected soft glove treatment from.
