@nathandaven @AtlantaBeltline @andreforatlanta @beltlinerailnow This looks so much more ridiculous in action that what they describe. Glorified golf carts on the beltline aren’t the mass transit atlanta needs. #belowpar

As Category 5 #HurricaneMilton barrels towards Tampa Bay and surrounding areas, it’s important to remember which MAGA GOP members of Congress voted against FEMA funding. They don’t care about providing cover for their own constituents, and their voting record proves it. Here’s a list of them:

[Rep. Saira Draper @SairaForGeorgia]

The Georgia State Election Board is an embarrassment to our state.

And don’t forget how we got here: “mainstream” republican leaders appointed far right kooks to run an important administrative agency, and refused to intervene when it went off the rails. #gapol

Everyone in line today to see @KamalaHQ @KamalaHarris in Atlanta!!!

[Cristy Lenz @newslenz]

So no one is moderating this debate and the questions don’t matter? This isn’t a debate it’s like a bad episode of CNN’s Crossfire.

This thread.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Have I got a story for you. It starts with a simple tip that someone has done a FOIA request for all 7 million voter signature cards in Georgia. I was able to get a screenshot of the request. It's much more insane than I could have possibly thought and people need to know.

It would be a shame if you retweeted this.

@CommishKhadijah Why are you supporting a Republican to head up Fulton County’s board of election?

[Cristy Lenz @newslenz]

Meeting is today at 10am. Show up to oppose allowing a Republican-who supported SB 202 -to head up the election board for Fulton. #Atlanta

[Atlanta Journal-Constitution @ajc]

A Republican has been nominated as chairman of the Fulton County Board of Elections, a move that could flip control of elections oversight in Georgia’s largest and most Democratic county. https://t.co/u6g9wQFQPW

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

The Supreme Court has gone rogue. We are in a full-blown Constitutional crisis. Congress must act. And we must pressure Congress to act, while it still can. #TheMajority

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

I wrote about it here in 2019. I've spoken about it a lot. I was told if I did the abortion without their consent I'd be fired. https://t.co/VKhWocGvy7

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

Politicians in these states literally don't care if people die. Being pregnant and needing an abortion is the new witch trials. If you died waiting I guess you weren't a witch!

[Lindy Li @lindyli]

Joe Manchin is “alarmed”

Pearl-clutching Susan Collins is “concerned”

But neither will reform the filibuster to codify #RoeVsWade so as far we’re concerned, they’re both full of shit and don’t really care

[Cristy Lenz @newslenz]

Yes!!!

[Rep. Phil Olaleye @PhilForGeorgia]

There are one million of us Latinos in Georgia — and on Tuesday, I intend to be the first Afro-Latino elected to Georgia’s State House! #PhilForHD59 @GALEOorg @latinovictoryus https://t.co/5GrEMXeQpx via @politico https://t.co/ZqGWFQwcqI via @politico

[Rep. Phil Olaleye @PhilForGeorgia]

The needs and voices of our people must be at the center of our politics in Georgia. I’m ready to lead, and as always, show up. Watch and RT to share the video! #teamphil #philforgeorgia

[Emma Hurt @Emma_Hurt]

It's Election Day Eve, and another poll has surfaced.

This one shows former Mayor Kasim Reed in third.

17- Kasim Reed
20 - undecided

[Lauren Groh-Wargo @gwlauren]

2021 Georgia Republicans

ZERO study commissions or hearings about our 50th place in vaccinations
ZERO study commissions or hearings on the pandemic*
ZERO movement on expanding Medicaid

34+ hearings on voter suppression

(*except for covid liability for businesses of course)

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

This is why Congress must pass the For the People Act to safeguard critical protections, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which will re-establish Federal oversight to guard against racial discrimination in voting.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Reminder: The filibuster was popularized in the Jim Crow era by Southerners who wanted to prevent the Northern majority from passing legislation in favor of civil rights for Black citizens.

Today, it's blocking passage of critical voting rights legislation.

Abolish it.
