Don't fall for the bait, liberal friends; don't cancel your plans and call out from work to sit around waiting to see video of DJT being cuffed and stuffed into the back of a squad car, just yet. Just because he says it's soon to happen doesn't mean it'll happen. For all we know, it's just another in a LONG line of campaign fundraising gambits. Lord knows his Truth Social timeline is FILLED with those. 

Focusing more on what is and isn't moving along in the final week of the Georgia legislative session, we note the stillness around SB140 (the anti-trans youth measure) while noting the passage of SB44, a bill imposing mandatory minimums on gang activity convictions.

Hard not to notice that, with record-low unemployment and legitimate wage growth the last two years, everyone in positions of economic power are doing all they can to ensure that any measures to avoid a recession can only hurt the working class and in no way can be painful to the wealth class or corporation America. You're seeing this, too, right? Well, the small spate of bank failures may have given us working stiffs a break. Hear me (and Jon Stewart) out.

Lastly, if you see a headline that makes you think "wow, a Republican doing a GOOD thing!" ... just wait. That other shoe inevitably drops. In Lt.
