Gun violence and crime are key issues for voters this cycle ā and Democrats are effectively flipping the script by highlighting that it's the MAGA Republican agenda that puts profits for gun manufacturers ahead of public safety thatās responsible.

Last night, @Everytown released a new ad in #WISen highlighting how @RonJohnsonWI has enabled rising violence and new polling that shows the vast majority of Wisconsin voters support stronger gun safety laws that heās continually opposed.
In #SC01, pediatrician and @MomsDemand vol @AnnieAndrewsMDās first TV ad shows how gun violence devastates families and erases far too many lives ā and yet her opponent @NancyMace votes against bipartisan gun safety bills.
Wow, even for midterms, this is a new one.

Big controversy, apparently: @HawleyMO gives a fist for a peaceful crowd of thousands outside of the Capitol but then runs from a few dozen rowdy ones inside the Capitol.

It's like saying 'if u favor BLM protests how can you oppose the riots that some of those protests descended into.?'
The diff is that all the unrest of Jan 6th has been less "fiery" than those riots.
We are subjects of an 18 month-and-counting propaganda campaign.

3/15 Rejecting election results has been done for decades including by some members of the @January6thCmte regarding Trump results; by @staceyabrams regarding #GAGov in 2018 and by @HillaryClinton who in 2019 said Trump knows that he is an illegitimate president. cc @MZHemingway
@ARKloster @ElectionWiz It gets better: The current warning by the Biden Admin regarding Dominion machines is based on a professor who in 2016 called on Clinton to contest the election results in 3 states due to likely hacking and voter manipulation of the machines!
@ARKloster @ElectionWiz @RonColeman @ColumbiaBugle @renato_mariotti @julie_kelly2 @justin_hart @JakeTurx @Peoples_Pundit @HansMahncke This is how it works:
2016: Dominion Machines are so bad that HRC should contest the results in 3 states!
2020: You are a democracy-undermining conspiracy theorist for suggesting that there can be issues.
2022: Ya, about those machines. Um, the 2016 guy says it's a problem!

At the @wsbtv gubernatorial debate, @DavidPerdueGA comes out the gate with the Big Lie: "The 2020 election was rigged and stolen," he says. Blames Kemp for Trump's (and his) election loss.
"I'm not dividing the party, the party was already divided," @DavidPerdueGA says when asked if his campaign is dividing the GOP. Claims Kemp "would not investigate anything" about the 2020 election. Some facts: usatoday.com/story/news/facā¦
.@BrianKempGA pushes back on claims he didn't do enough to stop the "rigged" 2020 election. Says he "the @GBI_GA has looked at this, but you know what, so has the @FBI and they haven't moved further" because of a lack of evidence.
Dueling internal polls of #GAgov!

This is convenient because we can just average them to get an idea of the REAL state of the race. That gives us a Kemp lead of 49ā35%, but a Perdue lead of 48ā39% post-endorsement.
Notably, the pre-endorsement question in the Perdue poll was just a head-to-head between Perdue and Kemp, omitting the other candidates. I bet they had to do that to get Perdue in the lead; the post-endorsement question suggests Vernon Jones et al. are pulling a significant share
I applaud Marist for indeed being one of the most transparent pollsters out there when it comes to its sampling. It also allows us, like Marist, to study what might have led to a chronic pro-D bias in Oct/Nov 2018 polls... 1/
First, we should note that Marist's Oct/Nov 2018 polls were fairly precise even if there was a chronic pro-D *inaccuracy:*
MO: McCaskill +3 (actual result -6)
IN: Donnelly +3 (-6)
AZ: Sinema +6 (+2)
FL: Nelson +4 (-0.2)
TN: Bredesen -5 (-11)
MN: Walz +17 (+12)
WI: Evers +10 (+1)

What's one thing these surveys had in common? In all seven cases, non-college whites were seriously under-sampled relative to their share of the actual electorate based on estimates using Census/CPS data compiled after the election.

I want to make something very clear: This fight isn't about me. This fight is about making sure our democracy works for & represents everyone who has ever put their faith in it. Itās about fighting for every Georgian who cast a ballot with the promise that their vote would count.

The Georgia governor's debate has been interrupted by a fire alarm. amazing
A little news out of first few minutes of #gagov debate between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp. Kemp said he would remain in his position as Sec of State if a recount is required.
We really need to improve our debate formats. As it is now, candidates stand up and say things like, my opponents plans "should scare you to death" without any requirement to show details of what they're talking about

Not-so-fun-fact: Every year Georgia doesnāt expand Medicaid, we miss out on $3 billion (billion, with a āBā) federal dollars meant to pay for Georgians' health coverage. Thatās $8 million left on the table every day. Here's why that matters. 1/ gbpi.org/2018/georgia-rā¦ #gapol
240k Georgians earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to receive subsidies available under the #ACA. They fall in a ācoverage gap.ā
Medicaid expansion would close that gap, providing health coverage to 473k more Georgians in '19. 2/ #gapol gbpi.org/2018/fast-factā¦
