Georgia has a $14.6 billion surplus. When pleaded by Democratic leaders to use surplus funds to continue SNAP benefits, Governor Kemp said it was not Georgia's job to bail out the federal government and that Ossoff and Warnock should "do their jobs."

Congratulations are due to Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard for winning the Georgia PSC election with a whopping 60% of the vote!! Change is possible with the right message.

Watching and waiting to see what the GA Public Service Commission election results will be. The incumbents tried to sweep the election under the rug and even said publicly said they hope no one shows up to vote.

The DOT "McStuffy" is just wanting to shut down the airspace. I don't think he knows that the FAA isn't the only DOT agency.

Still out here working through it all. Hoping that everything gets settled before the next time I have to fly.

Shutdown day 27: I hope everyone is doing ok. Your existence is worth everything. Things will be ok eventually. I will be here with you through it all.

You mama so white trash the EPA showed up instead of CPS.

Shutdown day 21: Not a single member of my family has called to ask if we were ok financially.

Shutdown day 4: Since I still have to work, that also means traveling for work. Time to spend a few days preparing for being gone again.

Shutdown day 3: I have to sit here and work instead of joining my SO in Spain since any and all leave is canceled. Some of my friends are already have food stability issues.

Wishing everyone well being. We can get through this together. You are important and worth it.

Shutdown day 2: I didn't have the ambition to put up with the bus breaking down again in order to make the trek into the office. Going to touch grass.

As the shutdown begins, I remain one of the few who are still required to come into work.

CDC shooting highlights anger, COVID-19 vaccine 'misinformation' The CDC has been at the center of conspiracy theories and misinformation related to the federal response to the pandemic. Friday's shooting may have been related to the COVID-19 vaccine.

The whole city of Atlanta is shaken. After shooting at the CDC building, the shooter ran into a neighborhood CVS. Our local news agencies are covering it the best they can. There's fears another incident could happen to another agency in the city.

Looks like we made the news...

Accidents happen...

These 3 don't know how good they have it.

They're getting me a lot here lately.

I used to work for a fire marshal who didn't care about the community he worked for. He used to tell me, "I just want to be as lazy as possible until I retire." He approved things that would put the community in danger and didn't participate in EMA drills. The Texas officials remind me of him.

I was in an EMA that was run by the police chief and we were only allowed 1 fire rep. Getting them to understand things outside of the police perspective and getting out voted by them was common. I wonder if they have the same situation.

Fire Chief Was Responding to Rescue When He Went 'Off the Roadway' During Texas Floods. Days Later, He's Still Missing Michael Phillips, the fire chief for the Marble Falls Area Volunteer Fire Department, was responding to a rescue call on the morning of Saturday, July 5, when he went missing.

They have some missing too. Not many reports on the local volunteer departments.

We lost a lot of people in PHMSA. I worry about our ability to respond to large-scale incidents.

Brian Kemp, when he was the Secretary of State, tried to purge me because I applied for an address change on my driver's license and update my voting area on the same application. It doesn't take much in GA.

I'm thinking the 2nd or 4th one.

You're not the only one. I run into those talking points with my agency as well.

No one is "saved" until we are equal. Equal access to housing, food, and basic human dignity.

Not doing a hot wash is asking for tragedy to repeat itself.

Oliver is trying his best, but pressure regulators are just too hard for him.
