Thank you to the many veterans who have answered the call to selflessly serve. We are forever grateful to you for your bravery and many sacrifices.
May we as a nation always answer the call to take care of those who have taken care of us. #ThankYouVeterans #VeteransDay2021

.@SenHaroldJones: The GOP has failed to demonstrate that their map meets the standards of the Voting Rights Act.
"Why haven't we looked at these factors? We should not rush that...our history tells us, our changing demographics tell us" that the VRA is there to help. #gapol

Stop worrying about how much climate action is going to cost, and start worrying about how much climate inaction and extreme weather are already costing us.

The 2022 elections will be a referendum on whether American democracy will be allowed to continue. No other issues will matter.
Happy 81st Birthday to Wyche Fowler. Thank you for your service in the Army, U. S. Senate, Congress, Atlanta City Council and as an Ambassador.

I’m sick and tired of the super-wealthy and giant corporations not paying their fair share in taxes.
It’s time for it to change.

“It is time to expand Medicaid,” Senate Minority Leader Gloria Butler said. “More than decade later, it’s time to fund our public schools, and it’s also time to put the brakes on any schemes that benefit only the top wage earners.” #gapol #gasenatedems apnews.com/article/business-…

"It’s going to be more and more difficult to draw Republican districts in GA, especially in the quickly growing metro areas...There just isn’t as high a proportion of Republican voters in GA as there used to be." -@elenaparent in today's @ajc #gapol

This was a nice shout out from the DNC Community Engagement Team!
Ready to get started to show that Democrats support small businesses AND labor. They aren't exclusive views.
Time go get to work! ✊🏾

Another pathetic attempt by the former president to blame everybody but himself for losing the 2020 election. We’ve only got 3 1/2 years left to win back the White House…let’s stop wasting time and move on @GOP.

HEY you! (Yes you!) Kim's goats have something to say...
ALT A picture of a goat soaking up sunshine displaying the following text: Earlier this month, the GA Secretary of State started mailing some voters a postcard to confirm their voter registration status. If you received one, follow the instructions. Questions or concerns? Call 886-OUR-VOTE You can even check while soaking up summer sunshine!

It's unlikely we'll see a criminal conviction of Trump linked to the coup, but someone should introduce a bill stripping him of all honors, benefits, Secret Service, etc., granted an ex-president. It won't pass right now, but as evidence accumulates I think it might eventually.

Hard to believe that John Lewis left us a year ago today!
I so appreciated his friendship and was honored to have been asked to speak at his memorial today, organized by Helen Butler and the Peoples Agenda!
His commitment for good policy lives on!

The maps that we adopt during the 2021 Special Legislative Session must reflect the changing face of Georgia and the need for historically disenfranchised voters to have a voice, said @SenGloriaButler at the first Reappointment/Redistricting hearing. #gapol #gasenatedems

Op-Ed from Senator @elenaparent: “As elected officials, we must set clear rules for ourselves before the map-drawing begins and provide for a fair and transparent process which ensures public participation.” ajc.com/opinion/opinion-ga-n…
