Make sure you're registered to vote in the January 5 runoff elections! The deadline is Monday, December 7!
Both of your U.S. Senate seats are up for election. It will decide your full representation in the U.S. Senate and will decide whether or not Republicans maintain their Senate majority and continual obstruction.
Please register if you haven't, check your registration if you have, and ask 3 friends to do the same. #RegisterToVote https://www.mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do
@TonyStark Happy #Caturday
(not my cat - once in a while she'll show up but like me she's a spy)
@TonyStark #RegisterToVote #Georgia friends!
This one's big! :ga: :registertovote: by Monday, December 7th!
@TonyStark Economics needs taught at high school levels.
1. Too many people don't get the connection between SOCIAL Security, Medicare, highways, dams, airports, roads, fire departments (things that they like) and the social democracy that it takes to run those programs.
2. The republican party has turned into a cult. Hysteria is the theme and socialism is one of the dog whistle buzzwords.
Why Republicans are resorting to anti-socialism hysteria - conservatives will say anything to justify backing a racist, loony president:

@TonyStark Happy #Caturday!
Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon on what kind of #COVID19 stimulus each party wants:
Democrats (House): restaurant relief for small businesses like your corner bistro or neighborhood pizza place
Republicans (Senate): tax breaks for two-martini lunches
Republicans encourage client lunches in a pandemic?! In my city, you can only dine outdoors right now and only with your own household. Bring the relief to keep our restaurants afloat until people are vaccinated!
I will not miss these destructive, ludicrous, dangerous appointments one bit. All they are doing is trying to trash the country the rest of the way as they are pushed out the door and set up the Biden/Harris administration for failure.
Trump Pentagon nominee alleged Biden 'coup': report -
I remember reading about this race a few weeks ago. Knew it sounded shady AF.
'Coincidence takes a lot of planning.'
So does fraud.
@MJ I had no trouble in the summer, or canvassing all day from September to November in a mask, but now that it's dry skin season, hello face irritation. You know what I'm still going to do every time I go out unless I'm taking a walk completely alone? #WearAMask (and then I'll still bring it, in case I need to interact with someone while I'm out. You never know.) @TonyStark
As usual, Democrats want to help everyone and Republicans just want to help themselves.
McConnell needs to preserve his Senate majority and will approve a package, if only to take the wind out of the Democrats' sails in the Georgia Senate run-off. If he saves his majority, he will revert to form and block any new spending.
Opinion | Why are Republicans moving toward a stimulus compromise? Here’s a clue.
Red states are facing some of the worst fiscal crunches.

@QueenRamonda Great, just in time for people to forget and let a Republican come break it again.
We will keep reminding everyone of this mess. Did you like losing your job, staying home for a year, not being able to see your parents/kids/grandkids, losing a friend or family member? Republicans did that.
Honestly, if it was only his supporters he was grifting, I wouldn't care.
Yeah, they could probably use the money more than he can, but if they're not smart enough to accept they're being conned, they probably shouldn't have it in the first place.
But it's not just them. It's every taxpayer, our money. And that's the part that requires a reckoning.
Trump campaign committees spent $1.1 million at Trump properties in the last days of his losing campaign:

Congress needs to issue a permanent solution for DACA kids. They have lived here their whole lives and know no other home.
I hope this judge has set the gold standard for the other state lawsuits trying to end DACA. Go take an irrelevant seat, Donny.
Your days and attempts to end our democracy are getting fewer as you continue to be a loser in more ways than one.
Federal judge restores DACA, orders DHS to accept first-time applications from immigrants:
