She has been fighting PSC and GA Power corruption for 10 years, while current Commissioners allow GA Power to hide critical information behind the broad brush of "Trade Secrets".

What is the PSC helping GA Power to hide?
Another residential power bill increase? A sweetheart deal to Data Centers?

Public Service Commissions tell monopoly electric and gas utilities what they can and can't do, including whether they can raise your electricity bills. PSC election turnouts are often in the *single digits*. More than almost any other election, your PSC vote really matters!

In the lower left quadrant is a caricature of a man with black hair and glasses speaking into a megaphone next to a woman with dark hair shouting with a raised arm. They are announcing "Early Voting Has Begun PSC" in large print at the top followed by information about voting for Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard in smaller print below.

Only 2 weeks until Election Day - make a plan to vote TODAY!

Make sure your friend and family know about this important election. Voter turnout in off-year elections tends to be low and every vote really makes a difference!

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally โ€” almost certainly incomplete โ€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

โ€œAmericans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. Theyโ€™ve had their necks kneeled on. Theyโ€™ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.โ€œ

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (๐ŸŽฅ: Elias Eliahu)
