🚨DAVID PERDUE CORRUPTION THREAD🚨

There are so many stories about Sen. David Perdue's self-dealing, insider info-laden stock trades that a thread is now necessary in order to keep track.

First, the synopsis article.

Next up is the story that started it all:

The revelation that Perdue had taken information given to him as a Senator during a Covid briefing to invest in a company making PPE.

Next up is the revelation that Perdue used info from his position as Chairman of an Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower to acquire up to $190K worth of stock in a company that worked on - wait for it - submarines.

Then we found out that David Perdue was actually investigated by the Justice Department over his stock sale of at least $1M in a company where he sat on the board...weeks before the stock price tumbled.

nytimes.com/2020/11/25/us/…
Then we learned that David Perdue has made 2,596 stock trades during his term (more than many Senators combined), including those for a company called FireEye that was directly involved in a subcommittee he sat on, one of MANY "well-timed" trades.

And now we learn that David Perdue also purchased Pfizer stocks one week before a vaccine announcement.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Where there's corruption, there's a crook.

If any other stories come out, I will add them to this thread.

In the meantime, help elect someone that will have the best interests of *Georgia* at heart...not their own wallet.

*2,596*

That's the number of stock trades David Perdue has made in *one* Senate term.

And many of those trades were in companies impacted by his committee oversight role.

This dude is as crooked as it gets.

We must help Jon @Ossoff win.

There are 7,383 State Legislative seats.

Flipping .67% of them (roughly 50) would win us chambers in TX, NC, IA, MN, MI, AZ and more.

So for the next 50 days I'll be highlighting candidates and giving them each $5 to help raise awareness for their campaigns.

🚨YOUR GUIDE TO VOTING IN A PANDEMIC WHEN TRUMP IS TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION🚨

Here's a comprehensive list of the pertinent voting details for EVERY state.

Registration deadlines, early voting, mail-in.

It's ALL here.

Now let's talk strategy.

1/6
projects.fivethirtyeight.com/how-to-vote-20…
PRIORITY #1

If your state offers early in-person voting and you are healthy/careful enough to do so, VOTE EARLY IN-PERSON.

This is the best way to make sure your vote is banked while lessening the strain on the Post Office.

BONUS: You get to avoid Election Day crowds.

2/6
PRIORITY #2

If you must get your ballot by mail and you need to request it, REQUEST YOUR BALLOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (unless it's being sent automatically).

Do NOT wait to request it.

It might not be delivered to you in time for you to mail it back and have it be counted.

Wow, Elizabeth Warren is not sugarcoating her feelings on the ugliness she and others received from some Bernie supporters, and is not absolving anyone over it.

It underscores what a huge problem that behavior has become - fairly or unfairly - for the Sanders campaign.

#Maddow
Notable is Warren’s terse description of her conversation with Bernie about that behavior:

“It was short.”

To be fair she also said she considers Bernie a longtime friend.

But the bad behavior of some of his more fervant supporters has clearly strained things.

#Maddow
I wouldn’t be surprised if it played a part in Warren’s decision not to endorse upon withdrawing, like other candidates did.

And it serves as a good reminder:

Karma exists in politics.

If you go too far, it may come back to bite you.
