Doug Collins in 2016 was a very tepid Trump supporter ajc.com/blog/politics/…
James Sensenbrenner opposed Trump in primaries. Even after Trump locked up nomination, Sensenbrenner said: "For myself, I can say I am not sure Donald Trump is going to do the right thing." archive.jsonline.com/news/statepoli…
Steve Chabot endorsed Trump even later than Sensenbrenner, May 13, 2016

American voters are receptive to Joe Biden's argument that Trump has lowered US standing in the world news.gallup.com/poll/116350/po…
American voters have decisively rejected Trump's "America First" protectionism - and embraced free trade in a way not seen in years, maybe decades, probably ever.
Donald Trump's toxic presidency has awakened Americans to the threat from Russia

I want to rephrase something I posted a few minutes ago, because I put it over-broadly ...
The endorsement of Russia's aggression against Ukraine delivered tonight by @TuckerCarlson is a pretty specialized form of Trump admiration. It's not characteristic of very many of those who cast that misguided vote in 2016.
@TuckerCarlson I wrote in a way that seemed to spread the blame beyond the author of the words. It was one man who said them, and he is accountable for them, nobody else.

President Trump won the 2016 election by accepting clandestine foreign help. He was caught trying to win the 2020 election by extorting clandestine foreign help. If unchecked, he will do it again. He's likely doing it right now.
Trump's Ukraine plot nearly succeeded. Pressured by escalating Russian violence over summer 2019, Zelensky booked a 9/13 interview w @FareedZakaria to announce investigation of Biden. Only the 9/9 delivery of whistleblower report to Congress disrupted the scheme.
@FareedZakaria And don't forget that the Trump admin had illegally -but successfully - suppressed the whistleblower report for 6 weeks. If the suppression had succeeded only 1 week more, Trump's plan to conscript Zelensky as a 2020 campaign auxiliary would have worked.

Get out your popcorn for Georgia, where the voter-suppressing, Hollywood-bashing governor (who still weirdly showed up at the TPS opening) is fighting Trump's Florida Politburo enforcer over how high Trump-Republican governors must jump on the king's call. ajc.com/blog/politics/…
The state has not one, but TWO Senate seats in play: one contested and one by retirement. Per a Republican friend, Kemp wanted to pick a woman to help shore up the numbers with suburban women, since women including @teresatomlinson are running in 2020. Trump wants a loyalist.🍿
And Trump's enforcers, like Gaetz, are now attempting to "educate" the governor who perhaps didn't realize that he, like every other elected Republican, now has one boss: Donald Trump, and he is expected to obey Trump at all times, or face his wrath at re-elect time.🍿🍿

Updates: Georgia governor met with Trump in secretive trip over Senate pick #gapol #gasen ajc.com/blog/politics/…
The trip did not go as expected for Kemp, who encountered a president who was said to be frustrated with his decision-making process and blunt about his support for U.S. Rep. Doug Collins and others whom he considered to be safer political picks. #gapol ajc.com/blog/politics/…
The fact that Loeffler accompanied the governor to the White House was rare proof that he favors her in the selection process. Loeffler was a last-minute applicant who had considered a 2014 run for Senate but decided against it. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/blog/politics/…

THREAD: Here's just a portion of our work at Fair Fight that Stacey Abrams is leading. This list is in no particular order:
1. House Victory Fund: A multi million dollar partnership to flip Georgia's House

2. Reestablishing a Georgia grassroots organizing base: training and mobilizing hundreds of Democracy Warriors from over 45 counties (vast majority of those being rural) to mobilize and advocate for voting rights in their communities.

Now an eyewitness says Erica Thomas was the one who said "go back where you came from" after going viral saying a man had said that to her.

You can't make this stuff up.

Curious how the Dem Presidential candidates will respond to this twist.

ajc.com/blog/politics/…
The AJC is getting ready to release the surveillance footage. No sound, but the description of the interaction seems to confirm that Erica Thomas was actually the agressor and other details of her account don't hold up.

ajc.com/blog/politics/…
Here it is -- Erica Thomas is in pink in the Planned Parenthood t-shirt. She follows Sparkes after he comes up to point out that she's in the express line and she follows him and appears to be the one yelling at him.

Hard to see how her initial account could possibly be right.

Democrats won The Ossoff Seat.
Here's how we rate the remaining uncalled races. In several of these, there are concessions but no official @ABC or AP call:
Solid D (>=95%)—CA-48, CA-49, WA-8
Likely D (~85%)—NM-2, UT-4
Lean D (~65%)—CA-10, CA-39
Tossup (~50%)—CA-45, ME-2, NJ-3
Lean R
Likely R
Solid R—MN-1, NC-9
Missed one: We're also rating TX-23, which has been called by some networks and not others, as Likely R.

Most likely, though, it will be the five in the middle, CA-10, CA-39, CA-45, ME-2 and NJ-3, that determine where we end up on the scale from D+35 to D+40.
