Georgia’s IVF fight, CDC job cuts and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s political future

As the debate over reproductive rights continues, Georgia House Speaker John Burns is pushing to protect in vitro fertilization. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, we talk to Rep. Lehman Franklin, the bill’s sponsor, about why the measure is personal for him and the hurdles it faces in the legislature.

Meanwhile, Democrats are raising alarms over the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to the CDC, which will result in more than 1,300 layoffs. State Rep. Saira Draper joins us ahead of her press conference at the Georgia State Capitol to discuss how these cuts could impact public health in Georgia.

And is Marjorie Taylor Greene rebranding? As she weighs a potential Senate bid, we explore whether the controversial congresswoman is shifting her political strategy—and what it could mean for Georgia’s 2026 race.

S08 Ep20: Jackie Johnson goes to trial

In this special episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Breakdown podcast, hosts Tamar Hallerman and Shaddi Abusaid look at the trial of former DA Jackie Johnson, who was accused of meddling in the local police department’s investigation of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder five years ago to protect her former employee. In a rare move, the longtime prosecutor was charged by the Georgia Attorney General’s Office with obstructing police and violating her oath of office in the aftermath of the 25-year-old Black man’s killing.
