With Senator Jason Esteves' announcement that he's officially in the 2026 race to be Georgia's next governor comes open speculation; where are the other Democrats for the field?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's chief political reporter, Greg Bluestein, is notably fixated on whether Stacey Abrams wants in.

Senator Jon Ossoff, with the 2026 cycle on his radar for obvious reasons, scheduled a town hall for constituents in Marietta Friday. While he opened the gathering wanting to bring attention to the need for Medicaid expansion and the dire consequences of Georgia's six-week abortion ban, those in attendance had other concerns to address. More on that in a follow-up podcast.

"Protest music" hasn't gone away; it's just adapted and evolved. Remember us all discussing and debating the meaning and message behind Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance? Yeah, hip-hop has long been the vehicle for many kinds of "protest" messages, and it was earlier this week my dear sister-in-law sent me this gem from D.C.-based viral band Sub-Radio. In it, they roast Elon Musk relentlessly.
Then there's my friend Randy Cahall, who was in Atlanta recently to record a session for me. His is more the old-school "folk singer with a guitar" type, but its amazing how even decades-old songs carry messaging that still resonates today.
