Roll Call is reporting that Arizona Senator Jeff Flake (R) is holding up 11th Circuit Court nominee Britt Grant of Georgia. Why?

The coolest thing for politicos of any stripe is the chance to host a presidential nomination. Atlanta could have that opportunity for Democrats in 2020. #gapol https://t.co/C798bx2425 — Johnny Kauffman (@JohnnyIK) May 10, 2018 Earlier, the DNC had gauged interest from interested cities but now they’re in the Request for Proposal stage.

Johnny Isakson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, and Jon Tester, the committee’s ranking member asked the White House to submit all documents related to the accusations of misconduct from Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson (the letter is below). He was, you will recall, the nominee to be the next Secretary of the Department

Prevaricating on if you do or don’t might be the worst position to have and that’s the one Mary Norwood took today. At a forum presented by V-103 and WAOK, Norwood was the only candidate who couldn’t articulate a
I’ll start by saying: let’s pump the brakes on 2020 POTUS speculation….he says unironically. Anyway, NBC News started poking around to see who Black Democratic leaders are starting to support in the 2020 Presidential race. Sens. Corey Booker and Kamala Harris are the way-too-early front-runners. Cong. Hank Johnson, still harboring some bitterness about Hillary Clinton’s

Recently, River Ridge High School in Cherokee County reversed the imposed disciplinary action for two students. A high school teacher expelled the students from her class for wearing “Make
