Marjorie Taylor Greene is a MAGA radical, but there appears to be an effort to 'mainstream' her, anyway. She did a live taping for WABE-FM's "Politically Georgia" podcast with Atlanta Journal Constitution reporters Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy last week and waffled on her "America First" hardlining (when it equivocates on Gaza but less so on Ukraine), gave her "business" spin on government efficiency and was asked about future statewide office ambitions.

Speaking of, a rising star in the Georgia Democratic Party is giving indicationshe might bake a play for the governor's mansion in 2026 and ... he checks a lot of boxes. If he sounds familiar to you, perhaps it's becausehe's been on this show recently?

New to The Ron Show, however, isSenator Kim Jackson, the state's first LGBTQIA+ state senator and staunch defender of the state's trans community. We discussed the GOP's attack on their rights, what could be their next target, plus goats, her podcast and how she finds grace while politicking with the less-than-graceful.

Finally, any time I can get behind GOP legislation - rare as that may be - it's noteworthy. Take, for example, aRome Republican wanting to shield Georgia Power residential users from rate increases due to data centers' looming need for gobs of energy.
