Grand juror pressed the prosecutor on whether there are "any new actual facts" on the second attempt:
"I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

On June 17, a nearly all-white Republican caucus is coming to purge Black, Hispanic, and Asian American lawmakers and steal what Black Georgians fought, marched, and died to build.
Enough is enough. Break the Republican trifecta.
Vote like your life depends on it. #gapol

Two bills with the potential to curb free speech were signed into law this week by Gov. Brian Kemp. Both were on our Legislative Watch list for their aim to criminalize protests in public spaces and during religious services. gfaf.org/legislative-watch-2…

A remarkable story of perseverance, mercy, justice, and redemption.
Like Mr. Askew I hope @RepScottHolcomb will be able to pass his “Second Look” bill next session, to help others meted disproportionately stringent sentences find their way home.

Critical take from Israel's Foreign Ministry on my column about sexual assaults of Palestinian men, women and children. You can read my piece here through a gift link: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opini…
Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press.
In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused.
Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party.
This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist.
Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.

The bill also expanded the list offenses for which prosecutors could bypass grand juries and proceed to trial by accusation rather than indictment.

Shortly before GOP state Sen. Colton Moore stepped down to run a doomed campaign for Congress, Republican lawmakers passed his measure to ban local governments from levying fines and possible jail time for those who fail to lock their firearms in their vehicles. It was the first bill he authored that ever passed.
…
This afternoon, Gov. Brian Kemp vetoed the legislation, saying it would “open the door to lawsuits against law enforcement officers, including in their personal capacity.”

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important.
Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin, the only two candidates in the race with strong records of standing up for all Georgians.
Early voting is already underway and Election Day is May 19th. Find out where you can vote at IWillVote.com/GA.

We won! Hundreds of thousands of people who are currently detained and separated from their families in lower-level cases will be released from jail every year. An incredible victory for liberty and public safety. You can read the historic decision here: civilrightscorps.org/wp-cont…

As many of you know, we've been fighting for years to challenge the grotesque cash bail and pretrial detention policies around the U.S. that keep 100,000s of human beings in cages and separated from their families every single night, mostly because they lack cash. Tomorrow, the California Supreme Court will issue the most important court decision ever decided on this question--and probably the most important decision in U.S. history in terms of the number of people in jail. At stake is essentially whether several hundred thousand presumed innocent people every year in misdemeanors and non-violent felonies can be detained in cages prior to trial. It's the most important issue we've ever worked on.
