Rep. Eric Bell Introduces Bill to Designate Lemon Pepper as Official Chicken Wing Flavor of Georgia. Read more here: https://ow.ly/jOse50Y0O8s #gapol #gahouse
It’s quite hypocritical when GOP leaders invoke God as they openly defy His command to care for the least among us #GAPol
It’s easy for a Governor who hasn’t had to think about paying a bill for years to say we don’t need the programs he’s cutting. But Georgians who don’t have health insurance, whose roads aren’t holding up, and whose wages have stayed too low as costs skyrocket disagree. #gapol
Governor is bragging about our rainy day fund because he’s underfunding everything else. That’s like bragging about your savings account with all your bills still unpaid. #GAPol
Day 1 at the Capitol, and y’all showed up. Hundreds packed the halls demanding an agenda that puts people over corporations. For a moment, it truly felt like the people’s house! #GAPol
I'm most of the way through creating the API for my #Georgia state legislature tracking.
There's still some cleanup, but it provides:
- list of sessions
- chamber summaries
- committee info
- legislation info
- votes
I need to tie legislation to authors/sponsors. And then create a website for it. After that I will add RSS feeds and, finally, Fediverse bots to let you follow legislation and/or members in your feed.
It's just the API currently, and nothing is set in stone. You can see the FastAPI docs here: https://api.gacracker.us/docs
If you have suggestions or notices bugs, please let me know.
TL;DR: What are good methods for managing a few hundred bots on #GoToSocial?
I talked a couple weeks ago about my project tot make it easier to follow the work of the #Georgia state legislature.*
I'm hoping to take the initial API live in a couple of days. But now I'm thinking ahead to the Fediverse accounts I want to have.
In addition to the main, summary accounts, I intend to have accounts for each district, so "(at)GaSenate1" for Senate district 1 (no tags on those posts, you either follow or you don't.)
I've written number of bots, but handling bot overhead - not to mention authentication to get the tokens - seems a bit daunting when you're talking about 250is accounts.
What are some good ways to do this? Since I'll control the server and everything I'd like to script as much as possible. And I probably won't use actual bot code for the posts, just end point points directly.

Who has two thumbs and has downloaded info on over 50K pieces of Georgia bills and resolutions?
This guy!
Started it running last night, with some throttling so it's not crazy. Their SOAP API goes back to 2001. It's currently working its way backwards and is doing the 2005-2006 session.
I'm working on a new project to make it easier to follow the #Georgia state legislature.
Besides a website and RSS feeds, I'm thinking of mastodon account that posts legislative action.
I'm curious if it'd be worth it to make individual accounts for votes by each member. Partly that seems like overkill. But part of me thinks it be easier to just follow, say, your reps.
I'm interested in thoughts, and boosts appreciate

Election Today: 6 Candidates Battle for Georgia Senate Seat #gapol
Petty little insecure man #Trump withdraws support for #MarjorieTaylorGreene
"I am withdrawing my support & endorsement of 'Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of #Georgia," Trump posted on Truth Social.
Greene, a member of the House of Representatives, has long been a reliable ally & fierce defender of Trump but in recent weeks she has taken positions at odds with the White House & some of her fellow #Republicans.

Btw, I expect all the angry anti-Trumpers in GA to turn out and flip these two statewide Public Service Commission seats today. Off-year elections go to the motivated party!
Georgia's Utilities Election Could Predict The 2026 Midterms #gapol
All across Georgia, my Democratic colleagues and I have been calling on Governor Kemp to use every tool he has to make sure Georgians don’t go hungry. It’s shameful we even have to ask! #GAPol
