Very useful demonstration that it is Republicans that are preventing the issuing of larger checks. This was always the case, but now it's undeniable. — PolitiTweet.org

My personal view is that people are dying and the people who are most at risk should be vaccinated first. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

It’s pretty obvious that the politicians are getting vaccinated because they can. For certain positions, like the president, vaccination makes sense for continuity of government issues But a few members of Congress getting COVID does not create a continuity of government issue — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

One thing that doesn’t make much sense is all the politicians getting COVID shots to “build trust.” The shots aren’t even available to the public yet. Why couldn’t these same politicians “build trust” in a couple of months? — PolitiTweet.org

3. This is the second time in two days that American Crossroads has responded to this ad getting taken down by publishing an ad with an identical claim. Both times the ad was approved by Facebook. Here is my thread from Monday. https://t.co/uqwPghqmnW — PolitiTweet.org

2. What is the point of enforcing a rule and taking down ads if you can just republish an ad with the exact same claim the next day? This ad has been debunked by Facebook fact-checking partner Facebook doesn't seem to be taking their own rules very seriously — PolitiTweet.org

1. American Crossroads had ads removed by Facebook because of a brutally dishonest attack on Warnock. The ads claimed that Warnock said "God Damn America" as an expression of his own views. He was quoting someone else One day later, Facebook has approved ads w/the SAME CLAIM https://t.co/cqAo1psR7a — PolitiTweet.org

8. UPDATE: Facebook has now removed ALL of American Crossroads ads for violating its policies. (All of these ads were attacking Warnock.) This is a Super PAC run by Karl Rove and funded by Mitch McConnell's operation. https://t.co/4yLlpiFQUi — PolitiTweet.org

3. Loeffler has received fewer large corporate PAC contributions. @CSX (5K to Loeffler, 12/17) But this is only two days of data (12/17 and 12/18). We'll get daily reports but won't find out anything about 12/3 to 12/17 until 12/24. It makes no sense but that's how it works — PolitiTweet.org
