Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate Mike Collins is a notorious bigot, antisemite, and extremist currently under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars. Collins, who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, voted to double health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians, for the Iran War, and for the Trump tariffs.

The polls are mostly closed in Georgia, though polling sites in Atlanta remain open until 8p. Election officials say roughly 1.5 million people have now voted, including about 900,000 who voted today. That’s far higher than expected Election Day turnout. #gapol

The Senate seems to be at the point where anything is possible over the next few days on a giant GOP tax and budget bill. Success, failure, mini rebellion, delay, a furious rewrite of key provisions - all options remain available for Republicans.

Every time America is on the verge of greatness, we get involved in another foreign war. There would not be bombs falling on the people of Israel if Netanyahu had not dropped bombs on the people of Iran first. Israel is a nuclear armed nation. This is not our fight. Peace is the answer. 🙏
