I was going to watch the full version of Trump’s kraken speech but it’s 46 minutes and life is short
OK, well I found it on YouTube and I'm watching at double speed and Trump is going into the kracken/Dominion business.

They claim that Powell and Lin aren't representing the campaign, but Trump is embracing them and their unhinged theories
Just got to the point where Trump floats the idea of a revote.

"Maybe you'll have a revote?"

Then adds "But I don't think that's appropriate."
"Even what I'm saying now will be demeaned and disparaged, but that's OK"
27 minutes in and I think he's just starting over from the beginning?

1. It's December in the middle of a deadly pandemic which has brought significant chunks of the economy to a halt and we are still allowing people to be evicted.

This decision is killing people.

2. A study by public health researchers found that "lifting [eviction] moratoriums amounted to an estimated 433,700 excess cases and 10,700 excess deaths" between March 13 and September 3."

Since then, things have gotten much worse.

3. The CDC issued an "eviction moratorium" in September but it's full of holes. Tenants have to fill out a declaration to qualify and many don't even know about it. And it doesn't come with any rent support. So it's creating a bigger problem for January.

1. Loeffler's campaign has devolved into a series of attacks on Warnock's theology

She distorts snippets of Warnock's sermons to depict him as "dangerous" & "radical"

But last January Loeffler shared the pulpit w/Warnock & praised the work of his church

popular.info/p/before-her-s…
2. Loeffler visited the church, which she now claims is a platform for Warnock's extremism, for a MLK Day event.

She praised Ebenezer Baptist Church, under Warnock's leadership, as a place that "puts words into action" and "advances the cause of freedom

popular.info/p/before-her-s…
3. Warnock spoke a few minutes after Loeffler and basically anticipated her heel turn. He knew she was saying nice things at his church that day but that things would change.

.@pfizer donated $5K to Loeffler and $5K to Perdue on November 23
@pfizer .@ford donated $5K to Loeffler on November 10 and $1K to Perdue on November 17
We know about Pfizer and Ford because they both filed with the FEC a few days early.

We'll know more soon about how corporations are spending cash in the Georgia run-offs.

1. Major corporations like to talk about their commitment to combating climate change, immigration reform, and other issues that burnish their public image.

But talk is cheap.

Look at how corporate America spends its money and wields its influence

2. Yesterday, the @USChamber, the nation's largest corporate lobbying group, announced a $2 million ad campaign in support of Perdue and Loeffler.

If either of them win, McConnell stays in charge of the Senate.

popular.info/p/corporate-am…
3. Most major corporations are members of @uschamber. Their dues support these ads and make it more likely the GOP retains control of the chamber

That is in direct conflict w/the stated priorities of many member corporations

Take, for example, @Nike

1. Georgia Senator David Perdue (@Perduesenate) is in a competitive Senate race and won't take questions from the local media.

Why?

He has repeatedly lied to the public and press about his stock trades.

And now he's been caught.

Let's review.

popular.info/p/8-times-davi…
@Perduesenate 2. In March, a Perdue spokesperson told CNN that Perdue was "not involved in any day-to-day investment decisions."

Perdue said the same thing to Nexstar Media Group.

That was a lie.

popular.info/p/8-times-davi…
3. In April, when more details of his pandemic-related stock trades became public, a Perdue spokesperson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Perdue "is not involved in day-to-day decisions."

That was a lie.

1. Senator David Perdue (@sendavidperdue) has been caught brazenly lying about how he managed his stock portfolio.

Here are the FACTS.
@sendavidperdue 2. Perdue has said categorically that he had NO INPUT WHATSOEVER on his stock trades as Senator.

This is what his spokesperson said LAST WEEK: "Senator Perdue doesn’t manage his trades, they are handled by outside financial advisors without his prior input or approval"
@sendavidperdue 3. But according to a new report in the NYT, the FBI obtained evidence that in January, Perdue contacted his wealth manager at Goldman Sachs and instructed him to sell $1M worth of stock in Cardlytics.

The communication came after Perdue received an email from the company's CEO.
