We know 2021 has been a rollercoaster of a year for many of us.

From the January 6th insurrection & the Biden-Harris inauguration at the beginning of the year to the signing of the historic infrastructure bill, you all have stood by our side through thick and thin.
The year began with our efforts in Georgia. Our ‘Grinches of Georgia’ ads played during the primetime Senate debate and received mainstream buzz from local media in Georgia as well as national media like MSNBC and CNN.
We blanketed the state in matching billboards and sent mailers to registered voters. We worked with a veteran and small business owner in Georgia to drive a tour bus around the state promoting positive Democratic messaging.

You will notice when the @GOP tries to spread negative propaganda about President Biden, they use short clips at around 5 seconds of length, context removed, to push false narratives and hide their own failures and lack of ideas or willingness to help the American people.
These are deeply dishonest people whose goal is to inflict as much pain as possible on the American people. We’ve seen this with the Satchel Paige story, anytime Biden says ‘end of quote,’ and today with Biden discussing federal assistance to states’ COVID responses.
A party willing to lie to you about small things sure as hell has no problem lying to you about big things. The @GOP is a failing party, clinging to their last gasp of power and relevance with deception, gaslighting and the destruction of our democratic system.

While we are on the subject of Madison Cawthorn…

He got caught lying about the car wreck that left him in a wheelchair, claiming his friend crashed the car and ran away, leaving him in the burning wreck. He said the wreck cost him his position at the Naval Academy. 1/3
Under a deposition, he admitted he was denied entry to the academy before the wreck. He had been driving but decided to hold a "Chinese fire drill" where his friend and he would switch spots while the car was driving down the highway. 2/3
His friend actually pulled him from the burning wreck, saving his life.

And we haven’t even started talking about the 30+ sexual misconduct allegations yet.

You can read more on what a terrible person Madison Cawthorn is here 3/3: washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

.@TeamYouTube just suspended our YouTube account for this video we posted in June 2021, saying that it “glorifies and incites violence.” For the next week, we are banned from posting videos or going live for our podcasts.
Ironically, this video is satirizing complaints about ‘big tech censorship.’ We have appealed the ruling and hope to hear back soon and go live as regularly scheduled this week should they overturn their decision.
UPDATE: @YouTube has REJECTED our appeal. Our account will remain suspended for the rest of the week. How does this make any sense?

Rep. Dan Crenshaw wants you to watch out for GOP members who incite their supporters with taglines and catchphrases and pull stunts to get attention #GOPFrauds
Right after Crenshaw made these statements, he DENIED that he was talking about the crazies in his party like MTG and Boebert. If he wants credit, he should stick by the courage of his convictions and not act just like them.
We are gearing up for a huge year in 2022. We need all hands on deck. Consider chipping in $5 by midnight to keep us going: secure.actblue.com/donate/mt-2021…
