Honored to tell the story of folks in recovery. Famed former UGA assistant coach Scott Cochran almost died from his addiction to opioids, in both GA and Alabama. He tried keeping his addiction a secret and held player recruiting meetings by video from his rehab room. More here:

I actually enjoyed “You can see everything” but people need to understand that this is not a documentary. And the device Elizabeth showed Nathan WAS NOT THE DEVICE
PeachPol looks into Georgia Medicaid's list of doctors it gives patients to choose from. These are supposed to be updated and accurate. But errors include a listing for a Valdosta psychiatrist -- where the number is disconnected.

Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. As of now, sadly, twelve people have been confirmed killed, including three children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another fourteen people have been injured, and two of them are in critical condition – the doctors are fighting to save their lives. The status of twelve more people who may have been there is still being verified. All emergency services are at the scene, and search-and-rescue operations are underway. Overnight, thirteen of our regions came under attack. Residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway facilities have been damaged.
Last night confirmed once again that in Russia, they take any easing of pressure to mean they can keep fighting, to mean they can keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed. Russia must understand that it needs to stop the war, and for that to happen, Russia must feel its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. I thank everyone who is helping.

“The video of a wheelchair-bound Hasan executed by firing squad will serve as ready-made propaganda for jihadist groups like Al Qaeda and Islamic State,” says @ColinPClarke. “I don’t understand how this benefits the United States.”
“Hasan should face the death penalty, but making his execution public and streaming it? Beyond disgusting,” says @SenThomTillis. “Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do. It should not be happening in America.” tinyurl.com/2ma4jw6f

Foster kids disproportionately have autism. Now Georgia has abruptly slashed payment for an autism therapy for foster kids. Experts say the therapy can unlock vibrant futures for some kids who start out nonverbal and severely disabled.

Georgia audited its own data center tax breaks and found that the state gave up $474 million in sales taxes in one year—and got back just $41 million from the industry. At least 38 states have deals like this. (It's not clear whether all that money the state waived was needed to attract the construction: in Georgia's case, by the state's own estimate, 70% of the data center construction would have happened anyway.)

Gov. Brian Kemp created the Pathways Medicaid program in the national spotlight with Trump officials flying in to sing its praises. Trump has made it a national model.
Now it hangs in the balance.
Advocates are alarmed.
