Got a question for the boys?!?

Georgia's ballot is loaded, and we broke it down. This week Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck head south for a full midterm deep-dive into Georgia: the toss-up governor's race between Keisha Lance Bottoms and self-funded healthcare billionaire Rick Jackson, John Ossoff's Senate fight against Mike Collins, Lucy McBath's third-different-district battle in CD6, and the three constitutional amendments hiding at the bottom of the ballot. Plus: the U.S. officially confirms it has weapons in orbit, Mitch McConnell goes viral, gas prices creep toward a record, and Italy picks a fight over hijabs in schools. All that, a Pickle of the Week for Pete Hegseth, and the PTP merch store is finally live.
