AJ: “The Saints defense took some of your comments earlier this week personally, was any of that taken out of context?”
Shedeur Sanders: “Everything I do up to this point is taken out of context. I can’t be one to care what people say. I would never disrespect or ever talk down to another opponent or another team. It’s just another trick in the media they use. However they feel they feel, I don’t care how they feel.”

Civil rights icon Andrew Young was moved to TEARS reflecting on Keisha Lance Bottoms’ historic election as the nation's first Black woman governor! He said the victory belongs to the women who risked their lives marching for equality. Their sacrifices paved the way for HISTORY!

In 2018, Brian Kemp ran for governor of Georgia. He was also the man running the election.
As Secretary of State, his office had canceled nearly 670,000 voter registrations in 2017 alone. Then, weeks before Election Day, it froze 53,000 more under a rule called "exact match." A missing hyphen. A dropped initial. That was enough. Nearly 70% of those frozen applications belonged to Black Georgians, in a state that's about 32% Black.
Stacey Abrams lost by about 55,000 votes.
She didn't wait for the next race. She built Fair Fight and went to work in every one of Georgia's 159 counties. She recruited poll watchers, ran registration drives, and took the system to court.
Georgia organizers registered more than 800,000 new voters.
Two years later, Georgia went blue for president for the first time since 1992. Two months after that, it sent two Democrats to the U.S. Senate and handed them control of the chamber.
Last night Jon Ossoff won re-election. Keisha Lance Bottoms became the first Democrat elected governor of Georgia since 1998. Tanya Miller became the state's first woman attorney general.

Civil rights leader and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young broke down in tears over Keisha Lance Bottoms’ historic win as Georgia’s first Black female governor.
He reflected on how much the moment would have meant to Coretta Scott King.
Angel Reese is smart woman. Turned that critic-coined term "mebounds" mocking her for rebounding her own missed shot into a six-figure business.😂🏀$$$

Today, I watched my daughter Yolanda cast her first ballot. Tonight, I'm thinking about the millions of young people who did the same. Your generation showed up, and you made a difference. To every first-time voter: welcome. Your voice matters. #FirstVote

Yesterday was a great day for our democracy. If we want to hold on to what we’re feeling today, we need to get to work.

In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.
More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia.
