Description

Georgia’s political landscape shifts again as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she will step down from Congress on January 5th, citing tensions with former President Donald Trump and frustration with national politics. Her announcement fuels speculation about her future, even as she publicly rejects talk of a 2028 presidential bid. Meanwhile, Georgia’s hemp industry faces uncertainty after federal shutdown legislation includes strict new THC limits that could reshape the market. Lawmakers also turn their attention to vulnerable youth, with a Senate study committee releasing recommendations to improve education, housing, and workforce access for young people aging out of foster care. Elsewhere, Lumber City residents recover after a major water line break triggered a near-daylong outage and boil advisory. The House Ethics Committee opens an investigation into Rep. Mike Collins, while former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms continues her push for governor with community outreach events across the state.
