@MikeCollinsGA
is a silver spoon rich son of a Congressman, building daddy's political dynasty and overcompensating with a truck, socioeconomically. Here I chat about it while shoveling sh**. Donate to my campaign and Stop Enabling Bovine Excrement!

When you qualify for office at the Georgia Capitol, there's a GOP line on one side and a line for Democrats on the other. The GOP line is overwhelmingly made up of white men. The Democratic side looks like this. Government by ALL of the people!
@KristiNoem
What are YOU thinking? Anybody who can watch the things Trump has done and think "this is fine; let's elect him to something" has serious deficits in their reasoning.
When white folks object to pointing out that white men are 30% of the population but 89% of Republicans in Congress, and call that statement racist, they're openly communicating that they don't want equality and proportional representation; they openly prefer white supremacy.
In the last few years, many of my Fox News watching conservative family members have retired and now rely on Medicare. They all gush about how wonderful it is. Democrats want to expand Medicare and Republicans want to take it away. How will that affect YOUR family?
Our sorry excuse of a congressman approving of racist harassment by hundreds of jeering white boys, one imitating a monkey, and multiple cops against one calm black woman. Collins is a bully with great admiration for other bullies. Let's send him packing!
@RepMikeCollins
How about instead of having your staff draft a wishy washy statement saying "if" there were racist behaviors in the video of a guy making monkey gestures in a giant mob harassing one black woman, the behavior shouldn't be glorified, YOU ACTUALLY STOP GLORIFYING IT AND APOLOGIZE?
This nails it. "Laken Riley isn't dead because she ran into an undocumented immigrant; she's dead because she ran into a violent man." I am a woman in Athens, I have been a target of violence and stalking, and this resonates.
30 yr mortgages. Farm subsidies. The FAA. Libraries. Medicare. Social Security. K-12 education for all. SNAP for children. Toll free roads. Taxpayer funded 911, police, & firefighters. These are all "liberal gubment overreach" the far right wants to eliminate/privatize.
@RepMikeCollins
Or a grifting Congressman who accepted over 900K of taxpayer money. Mike Collins, I asked you tonight what you've done to learn about homicide risk factors and women's safety. NOTHING. Your chief of staff pointed a gun at a woman & abused a dog. Take a seat, & I'll take yours!
@BarackObama
@DemRedistrict
President Obama, GA-10 will be competitive against Mike Collins if I'm the nominee and get some funding. He's deeply unpopular, and the new lines might only put us at R+11 down from R+28 in 2020. Here I chat about it while shoveling sh**. :)
@RepMikeCollins
@RepCollinsPress
You sure didn't appreciate me, Mike Collins! I saw 19 folks that weren't staff or law enforcement. You told me in a threatening tone to "be careful" for mentioning that your chief of staff is a convicted violent criminal abuser. You complained about Dems at "Republican" meetings.
This flashy fool is Troy Nehls.(R-Tx)
After wearing this to the State of the Union.
He said of the border bill, “ Not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval ratings.”
Republicans don’t care about Americans!
Vote Blue!
#ProudBlue
Mike Collins is not a "conservative." He's a proud white supremacist and antisemite who openly supports adjudicated rapists, seditionists, and abusers of women and animals. He is unfit to serve in the United States Congress. Help me unseat him!
@bennyjohnson
Grow up Benny. Jesus will be fine. God made & loves LGBTQ+ people. A White House egg game is not your church. Tomorrow, I'll enjoy leading worship for Easter Sunday, celebrating Jesus, and continuing to be part of the resistance against fascist nonsense. Happy Easter!
@RepMikeCollins
Just wait 'til you see the margins in January when I take your seat. I'll support the FAA and all that "liberal regulatory" stuff to make sure you have a safe flight home though. :)
@RepMikeCollins
Are you planning another low budget campaign video where you can't hit a target? Or are you just excited about getting money from the NRA and right wing donors whenever gun sales go up in response to a mass shooting? Dead kids sure are profitable for Mike Collins & MAGA.
Did you know that GA-10 has never elected a U.S. Representative that wasn't an old white guy? 17 consecutive old white guys, dating all the way back to the 1880's, with a straight line of increasingly awful Republicans since 1995. We can do better!
Law enforcement jobs confer immense power over others, and can be particularly attractive to pathological abusers who enjoy opportunistic retributive violence and getting away with it (a minority of LEOs.) We need better screening/accountability to keep abusers out of LE roles.
Got a call just now from a former supporter of mine in Michigan. He’s a big Trump guy. He & I speak every few months. I’d put respectful nuggets of truth in front of him. He let me know today he’s done with Trump. Done. He said Trump doesn’t give a damn about the country. I
My Facebook memories reminded me that I early voted for myself on this day in 2022 and made sure to bring a big glass of ice water for waiting outside in the heat, in May, in Georgia. It'd be illegal to offer me any. "Once again, Georgia doesn't have lines." -
@GASecofState
@danogburn
"White men" is not a slur. However, it IS a description of a demographic that represents 30% of the population but 89% of Republicans in Congress.
@EpochTimes
1) TRUMP is not capable of being the president. 2) Trump doesn't give a rip about whether the VP can do the job either. His sole concern is "who will help me get power and control and manipulate people."
The largest group of persuadable voters in GA-10 is disaffected evangelicals. Collins employs an abuser while railing incompetently abt women's safety. VOTE LOCAL for the GA born Dem who led a national movement confronting systemic church abuse & put GA-10 in play THIS YEAR.
🚨Georgia's online portal for absentee ballot requests is down!
With election day 3 weeks away, this is absolutely unacceptable!
People's voices are being silenced by this.
Why:
Active voter suppression?
Cyberattack on the site?
Technical incompetence?
Help me call this out!
@RepMikeCollins
Mike, it sounds like you think everyone in this country who's not a citizen is here illegally. That's not actually how things work. But thanks for confirming you want federal control of local elections and taxpayers who can't vote. So much for freedom and small government!
"Georgia doesn't have lines." 🤣🤣🤣 These dudes don't even try to make arguments; they just deny reality and expect their followers to go along with it. Current political debate is like arguing with a six year old about whether their imaginary friend ate all the cookies.
It’s 2024. I can’t believe we’re still dealing with lies about Georgia’s election from the left & right. Once again, Georgia doesn’t have lines. Biden owes our election officials an apology & focus on the real issues - this damn inflation that is hitting hard-working Georgians.
The first thing I did when I was even vaguely thinking about running for Congress was make sure the Capitol offices are dog friendly. My pup Nessie is a little rescue floof from the Humane Society of Morgan County, and she comes with me! Nonnegotiable!🩷
It sounds like Mike thinks his voter base is made up of sociopaths who find this nastiness appealing. I don't think that's true. I think there are conscionable conservatives all over GA-10 who care about human life & want limited government, & reject what the MAGAGOP has become.
Laken Riley's family has made statements framing her tragic death as a women's safety issue & asking for privacy. THEY'RE not scapegoating immigrants. MAGA is unilaterally co-opting the family's unspeakable tragedy for their own agenda, harassing & shaming everyone they can.
@RepMikeCollins
Hey Mike Collins! Thanks for explicitly confirming you think the legacy of anti black systemic racism in this country is B.S. This plus your antisemitic/anti-immigrant comments paint a very clear picture of who you are. It's not who WE are as Georgians, and we will vote you out.
Just a reminder that the last time Congress reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act in 2021, every single Dem voted for it and 172 GOPs voted against it. Every single Georgia GOP voted against VAWA or abstained. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WOMEN'S SAFETY.
Primary day! It's so crucial for us to show up and exercise our right to vote. Democracy and the future of our country are on the ballot. We face profound challenges, but we have a unique opportunity to transcend politics and unite to defend our Republic against abusers of power.
@Salem_GeorgeJ
Numbers aren't judgment & the impact of 1950's policy lives on. I've had dental work paid for by the sale of a grandparent's home. Mine benefitted from the GI bill; black vets were excluded. Redlining persisted til 1969. It excluded generations from building wealth & stability.
I’m thankful to be endorsed by Adrick Ingram, the next Chairman of Hancock County! Last night I asked a Hancock resident why she voted for me instead of my opponent. She said, “Because anyone can say what they PLAN to do, but I see what you HAVE done.”
@bennyjohnson
Let's also imagine a scenario in which the WH had a religious celebration w/religious imagery of a Muslim holy day. These same people would lose their minds. They say they're "attacked" & throw a tantrum whenever the whole world doesn't center them at all times. Like toddlers.
Amazing!!! ...But then I Googled the cost, and the drug costs $300,000/yr. It's not related to manufacturing costs; it's a corporate patent for the purpose of price gouging for Vertex Pharmaceuticals, HQ'd in Boston. Could you afford to stay alive if you needed this? I couldn't.
Hey y'all! I'm thankful to have been awarded the 2024 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction for my support of common sense measures favored by most Americans on both sides of the aisle to prevent gun violence. Please support my campaign at !

I'm so thankful to be endorsed by Dr. Freda Scott Giles, director of Linnentown, The Musical (an incredible autobiographical story by Hattie Thomas Whitehead about losing her home, entire neighborhood, & family stability to urban renewal.) Dr. Giles has known me for 23 years. 🩷
Please help, y'all! I can beat Mike Collins and flip the House, but I'm outraised by wealthy opponents. Reporting deadline in two days. Lots of tiny donations show support! Can you chip in just $3 to save democracy and elect a working class Representative?
@npfandos
Meanwhile in GA, we're over 50% Dem, but the 58% GOP legislature drew new maps to give themselves 9 red House districts, 5 blue districts, & 0 competitive districts. Anything but flagrantly disproportionate domination against the will of most voters is "unfair" to the GOP.
@clarice_lambs
@MikeCollinsGA
Oh yes! Mike's chief of staff, Brandon Phillips, has been arrested and prosecuted multiple times for horrible abusive acts of violence. What does it say about Mike's character that he would hire a pathological abuser for his top job and closest advisor?
@pjkorman
Yeah Pete--if she shows them one of her fingers, what choice have 500 delicate little white fratboys but to have a total meltdown? It's all so vewy scawy!🤣But if you agree the racist monkey guy is a miscreant I'll look forward to your public condemnation of Collins' remarks!
Why donate to a blue candidate in a red district? 1) GA-10 may be flippable for the right Dem. We might be R+14. 2) It's not just about me versus Mike Collins; GA is a swing state & strong Dems down ballot turn out votes for Biden. Help me stop Trump!
@MikeCollinsGA
likes guns and gun money, but can't hit a target in his own campaign video without a jump cut. And his chief of staff likes to point guns at women and kick dogs. Throwback to
@iamjohnoliver
and
@Nick_Offerman
offering THIS to the world!
GA-10's lines just got redrawn this year. An analyst out of ATL calculates the new district at R+13.9, which would put it in play for the right Dem v. Mike Collins. I'm in a contested primary, and I'm the one MAGA is scared of. HELP ME FLIP HIS PINK SEAT!
@Placeholder7o7
Thanks Placeholder! I might pick this up as an anti-endorsement quote from a random dudebro who's super triggered about anybody who's not a white guy getting elected to anything. Keep it coming! It helps show EXACTLY why people should vote for me instead of voting with you! :)
@MikeCollinsGA
Looks like a slim crowd with lots of people who don't like you, Mike. Your own chief of staff pointed a gun at a woman and kicked a service dog so hard its stomach ruptured. Way to set foot in Athens for once, and do tell us more about your grand commitment to women's safety.
Follow me on Facebook for more detailed posts! Y'all, I'm the only working class candidate for U.S. House in GA-10, & the only Dem who's from Georgia and has been serving the district for decades outside of politics. Help working Georgians get a U.S. Rep!
I love when fragile bros freak out & round up GA-10 info from 2012 to assure themselves I can't get elected. Lines have been redrawn 2x. It's flippable for the right Dem. I'll peel off evangelicals from Mike Collins & win independents. Wanna make it fun?

@RepMikeCollins
The yelling guy is, I believe, a local hate preacher who goes around harassing people who are trying to go to church or listen to a concert. I've never heard of you even visiting Athens so you wouldn't know. Dysregulated people throwing public tantrums don't make something so.
The Democratic Party of GA has zero effectual interest in defeating Mike Collins, but rather wants to siphon $15,220 off of underdog campaigns & withhold resources while formally training us to lose on gerrymandered lines. What I'm actually up against:
Worked my way out of poverty following an abusive marriage, bought a modest house that needed work, ripped out carpets and laid new floors myself-- also did plumbing, tile, light fixtures, and a 6" hole through a brick wall for a direct vent range hood, all with my own two hands.
My 4 years of internal advocacy and 6 years of public advocacy confronting systemic abuse in the PCA finally led to an extended, serious discussion of the subject on the floor of their General Assembly this AM. Long way to go until there's justice, but this makes abusers squirm!
I was so honored to sing and speak at Springfield Baptist Church in Monticello this past Sunday, and then enjoyed Mother’s Day lunch with Pastor Jimmy Horton and his beautiful family! Rev. Horton just celebrated 45 years as the pastor of Springfield!

@BetoORourke
Gun sales increase when there’s a mass shooting. Gun companies give $ to the NRA. The NRA gives $ to GOPs to oppose data based measures that prevent mass shootings. YOU’RE politicizing it, Vern. Dead kids are great for your bottom line. And I’m going to stop you.

The local hate preacher who berated Girtz has, unsurprisingly, a history of VAW. He behaved in a threatening manner toward his wife for using 3 slices of cheese on a sandwich & ripped the phone out of the wall when she tried to dial 911.
After the '22 runoff, I went to work for Conolus Scott, who ran for State Senate. I ran his field campaign out of the Coordinated Campaign office, knocking doors for him,

@RepMikeCollins
You're a U.S. Rep writing legislation ostensibly to prevent women being murdered. Do you A) ask for a memo on the subject B) Contact DV prevention groups C) Attend police fatality review mtgs D) NONE OF THE ABOVE, but hire a violent abuser & be an ass to a DV survivor opponent?

Would you rather have guaranteed healthcare after the age of 65, or be considered uninsurable/unprofitable in the private market at the time of life when you're most likely to need to consume the most healthcare? I'm definitely glad my aging family members have Medicare!

It sounds like you think your voter base is made up of sociopaths who find this nastiness appealing. I don't think that's true. I think there are conscionable conservatives all over GA-10 who care about human life & want limited government, but reject what the MAGAGOP has become.
Judge says Trump likely broke the law by trying to obstruct Congress from confirming Biden win.
@JodyHice
wants to rig elections for Trump as GA sec of state. All GOP GA-10 candidates support the big lie. I'm the only Dem who can beat them. Vote 5/24!
The demographic most likely to commit violent crimes isn't immigrants, but men with a history of violence like
@MikeCollinsGA
's chief of staff, Brandon Phillips, who pointed a gun at a woman and kicked a dog so hard its stomach ruptured. Maybe deport HIM.
One difference between
@MikeCollinsGA
and me is that I actually want to provide personnel and infrastructure to secure the border and process legal asylum claims, and for women to be safe from abuse. Mike just wants the news cycle to advance himself with dishonest grandstanding.
@bluestein
Nobody's forced into a truce with Trump. Kemp is DECIDING to kiss the ring and do what he thinks is politically advantageous. Disappointing after holding the line in 2020. Trump doesn't need any more enablers.

@traecrowder
Hey Trae, I'm a UGA graduate, Athens resident, Realtor, church worship leader, and domestic violence victim advocate, and I'm running to flip GA-10 blue and take it away from Hice and his Big Lie successors. I crashed his rally and called him out publicly!
Hey, GA-10! I have a big batch of campaign signs arriving tomorrow! Who wants one? DM me and I'll either tell you where to pick one up, or give me your address and I'll have one placed in your yard! ACC, Barrow, Jackson, Oconee, Madison, Oglethorpe, Morgan, Walton, Greene...
The whole MAGA game is to create and prolong problems so they can wring their hands and blame Democrats, use faux outrage to keep their followers irrational and easy to manipulate for votes, consolidate authoritarian power over us, fleece us of our assets, & enrich themselves.

The most dangerous place for a woman to be is in her own home with a highly controlling man, particularly one with a documented history of abusing women. Trumpism doesn't care about protecting women from abuse; Trumpism promotes and elects abusers, and tries to control women.
I am the ONLY GA-10 Dem that attended the one bipartisan forum we've had (GA Farm Bureau) and took on NINE Republicans including Collins, Broun, and Barr. I also crashed Hice's Athens rally and called him out publicly for lying about fraud. In a red dress and cowboy boots, baby!

Might want to report that to the state board that licenses dentists. I don't think a dentist is allowed to diagnose people outside their field of practice, & even a legit counselor couldn't disclose a real diagnosis without your consent. Ask an attorney about "defamation per se."
During the '22 primary, I was the only Democrat that showed up to the GA Farm Bureau forum & took on 9 GOP men, including Collins, by myself. Interestingly, GA farmers (who mostly think they're Republicans) have 2 big concerns: 1) Farm subsidies, and 2) Don't deport my laborers.
@Salem_GeorgeJ
Racism is ENTIRELY based on a power dynamic, as are all forms of abuse and systemic injustice. I'm curious: what have you done to truly listen to others about how they've been harmed by systemic racism? Are you familiar with: Tulsa bombing, redlining, Maceo Snipes, GI bill?
The hate preacher who berated Girtz was also jailed in NJ for six months for vehicular assault in addition to later being arrested for domestic violence over a sandwich. Tell me more about how you MAGA trolls hate lawlessness and violence against women.
I spent several years forcing systemic abuse to the floor of PCA General Assembly. I was nominated for this committee. They chose not to include ANY PCA survivors on it.
