GA Secretary of State host news conference on first day of early voting
SUMMARY: Governor Kemp and the Georgia Emergency Management agency were praised for their efficient support during recent elections. While a few counties adjusted early voting locations, information is available on the My Voter Page. Voters are encouraged to plan their voting—absentee, early, or on Election Day. A new app, Ballot Scout, allows tracking of absentee ballots. Georgia boasts the nation’s highest election integrity ratings, having improved processes since 2019, including secure voter verification and audits. Upgrades in technology have reduced wait times, with early voting locations available to accommodate voters. Transparency and trust in the electoral process remain priorities.
Early voting kicks off in the Peach State on Tuesday, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger scheduled a press conference to address voters

Democrat congressman condemns ‘what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute’ from Musk
SUMMARY: Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) criticized Elon Musk for making what appeared to be a Heil Hitler salute during a January 20, 2025, event celebrating President Trump’s inauguration. Nadler called the gesture “abhorrent” and urged condemnation, labeling it antisemitic. While some defended Musk, arguing it was an awkward gesture, the Anti-Defamation League described it as a “moment of enthusiasm” rather than a Nazi salute. However, critics, including MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend, disagreed. Some media outlets and public figures, like historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, viewed it as a fascist salute. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened PBS for its coverage.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump will return to the White House for his second nonconsecutive term. While Trump is expected to live in the White House, his wife Melania and their son Barron will split their time between Washington, D.C., New York, and Florida. Melania plans to prioritize her role as a wife and mother while also fulfilling her duties as First Lady. Barron will primarily reside in New York, attending NYU, though he will visit the White House. The Trumps’ belongings will be moved in after the swearing-in, as President Biden and his family vacate the premises.
