@Riley_Gaines_ Thank you for all of your help and sharing what happened to you right here in Georgia. This was the catalyst that finally delivered momentum on this important issue.

The omnipresent federal government? I don’t think what Chuck Schumer said is true is actually supposed to be true: “Virtually any organization, school, state, police office, county, town or community depends on federal grant money to run its day to day operations, and they’re all now in danger.”

One minute from @JDVance's 20 minute masterclass on dealing with the biased, arrogant, and combative media. I guess they ran out of time before asking him about his favorite ice cream flavor.

Keep fighting! We heard these same mind-numbingly contradictory arguments against school choice in Georgia as well!
The worst part of the anti-school choice arguments are the mind-numbing contradictions. Private schools are going to reap the financial windfall of vouchers but also private schools will deny everyone who tries to transfer to the school. Vouchers will defund rural schools but also there are no private schools in rural communities. Texans don’t support school choice but also millions of parents would use the program. School choice would bankrupt the state but also we should increase the pub ed budget by 40%. Their messages are completely incoherent.

𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬! A significant Georgia news story slipped under the radar during the Thanksgiving weekend, let me explain: In 2023, I was surprised to discover some USG institutions, including UGA and Georgia Tech, were requiring "diversity statements" as a condition of faculty hiring. These "diversity statements" required applying faculty members to swear their allegiance to DEI by providing, for example, a "statement of your commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, including evidentiary examples" as a condition of hiring. Two such examples used in Georgia are below. In response, I introduced SB261 (, which was co-sponsored by 23 of my Senate colleagues, banning "political litmus tests" in both the faculty and student application process in taxpayer funded higher education institutions in Georgia. I was happy to work with Chancellor Sonny Perdue as he dealt with this issue at the Regents level, and was further encouraged when the Board unanimously voted to ban ideological tests in the hiring and student application process. We still may want to deal with this statutorily, but this is a great step for Georgia's higher education system. Read more:

This year I carried a bill for @burtjonesforga that would aim to accomplish the same thing in Georgia. It did not get across the finish line, but we are going to keep at it until it does. The administrative state must be addressed at all levels of government.

The consultant class was telling Republicans everywhere to distance themselves from @realDonaldTrump , lest he drag them down. They were wrong. The real story of 2024 is that it was a Trump wave, not a red wave.
