"No Kings" protests are kicking off nationwide, including several in Georgia. Plus, Georgia’s U.S. Senators are calling on new Department of Homeland Security leadership to abandon plans to open an immigration detention facility about an hour east of Atlanta. Also, a bill that would change Georgia’s time zone and eliminate the twice-annual changing of the clocks made moves at the Capitol. And Atlanta-based delivery giant UPS is looking to cut 30,000 jobs this year as it changes its buyout offers.

2026 Primary Election special 

We look at the the life of Ted Turner--the billionaire entrepreneur, philanthropist, and environmentalist--whose impact stretches from media to nuclear disarmament. Plus, One of the few Black teachers ever hired by a south Georgia school district claims she was the victim of racial harassment and now, an appellate case is shedding light on the alleged behavior by school officials. We'll also have a look at the United States Soccer Federation officially opening its new home just south of Atlanta. And a tapestry, handmade by Atlanta stitchers, is on its way to Virginia to join an exhibition commemorating America's 250th anniversary. Also, North Atlantic Right Whales had their most successful calving season in more than 15 years. They give birth off Georgia’s coast each winter.
