Morning Reads for Tuesday, May 11
Good morning! Don’t panic!
- Kemp’s signing the repeal of Georgia’s citizen’s arrest law yesterday is a “birthday gift to Ahmad Arbery.”
- Most of the Georgia mass vaccination sites are set to wind down — but not until after you’ve hopefully had the chance to get your kids age 12+ vaccinated!
- Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Green have very little actual power in Congress. But they sure can draw a crowd!
- Gun violence is on the rise everywhere — and in Savannah, city officials are asking parents to take a more active role in keeping guns out of kids’ hands.
- Senator Ossoff discusses $30+ million in funding support for Georgia’s HBCUs for the American Rescue Plan.
- One Georgia teen made a lapel pin supporting vaccines.
- One of Kemp‘s vetoes yesterday was a bill that would have created a point of contact between the Department of Labor and the General Assembly. So… I guess I’ll keep sending constituent inquiries to the anonymous email address I have for them. Suuuuuuper.
