Lawmakers Split on Iran Strikes

Georgia lawmakers offered divided reactions after President Trump confirmed U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites Saturday night.

Among Republicans, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reiterated her concerns about the strikes while Gov. Brian Kemp and U.S. Rep. Mike Collins were among those who backed the action.

Democrats, including U.S. Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, warned of dragging the U.S. into another war and criticized the lack of congressional approval.

Caregivers Spotlight PTSD Support

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other health care providers in the state are using PTSD Awareness Month in June to promote the many programs available to trauma victims.

The VA center in Augusta offered an update on the latest treatments available, noting that about 7% of veterans will experience post-traumatic stress disorder at some point.

Emory Healthcare Veterans Program marked its 10th year of offering no-cost, evidence-based mental health care to veterans.

Since 2015, the Emory Healthcare program has treated more than 3,500 service members through a two-week intensive program, with 75% showing significant improvement.

Heat Wave To Stick Around

Georgians braced for the state's first significant heat wave of the summer, with temperatures of around 100 degrees expected over the coming days in many areas.

The National Weather Service issued alerts through Friday as high humidity could push the feels-like temperature to 105° or more.

Atlanta, Macon, and Columbus are among the cities at risk for extreme heat, which poses dangers especially for seniors, children, and those without air conditioning.

The hot spell is part of a broader heat wave stretching from the Great Plains to the East Coast.
