Greene’s Investment in Trump Social Media Company is a Loser (For Now) By News and Guts Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, got swept up in meme stock mania last week, investing as much as $50,000 in Donald Trump’s newest social media venture, according to a public disclosure.
Unfortunately for Greene, her timing was off. The value of DWAC – the special purpose acquisition company that merged with the Trump Media & Technology Group – has been cut in half since reaching a high on Friday.
Even if Greene bought the volatile stock at Friday’s low point, she’s still down around 7% as of Wednesday.
At one point last week, shares of DWAC soared 1,657%. A recent pullback now has the stock trading above $60 per share, six times its initial price. CNBC reports that Greene dumped shares of Apple, Amazon, and Google-owner Alphabet on the day Joe Biden was inaugurated as president. All three stocks have since risen.

Taylor Greene faces GOP challengers in changing Ga. district
By WILL WEISSERT
58 mins ago
HIRAM, Ga. (AP) — In her pitch to voters, Jennifer Strahan introduces herself as a mother, a Christian and a conservative. She usually skips over the fellow Republican she hopes to topple later this spring: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
That's because virtually everyone in this northwest Georgia congressional district already has an opinion about Greene, whose extreme rhetoric has left her stripped of committee assignments in Washington and her personal Twitter account permanently banned.
“You don’t always have to go around and tell people what she has done or said," Strahan, the 35-year-old founder of a suburban Atlanta health care advisory firm, said in an interview. "That’s known.”
In her first term in Congress, Greene has emerged as one of the most prominent voices of the GOP's far-right fringe, touting racist and antisemitic tropes, engaging in conspiracy theories about the coronavirus and vaccines and embracing former President Donald Trump's lie that the 2020 election was stolen. As she seeks reelection promising more of the same, Strahan is among a small group of challengers during Georgia's May 24 primary who argue they can deliver Republican values without the sideshow.
“I think people in this district are mostly tired of her crap,” Charles Lutin, 69, a retired physician and Air Force flight surgeon who is another Republican trying to unseat Greene, said in an interview. “It’s not anything like 95% are tired of her. But I think it’s a good strong majority.”
The race is unfolding in one of the nation's most significant political battlegrounds. In 2020, President Joe Biden was the first Democrat to carry Georgia since 1992. The state is now represented by two Democrats in the Senate. The fall campaign includes closely watched races for Senate and governor where Republicans are hoping to make up for lost ground.
But in some corners of Greene's territory, there's a sense of exhaustion from the nation's overheated politics.
David Harvey, an 85-year-old retiree in Rome, Georgia, voted for Trump in 2016, but he-said the former president so divided the party that it led many Georgia conservatives to stay home rather than keep voting Republican. He said he wouldn’t vote for Greene, who he believes “rode Trump’s coattails” to notoriety for all the wrong reasons.
“You don’t want to be a national figure for having been stripped of your committee assignments,” Harvey said.
Greene declined to comment for this story. Her district, which stretches from the Atlanta exurbs to the outskirts of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is firmly Republican. And a massive fundraising advantage will help Greene fend off her opponents.

now she's a victim of liberal tech bias , headed into election season.
She still has her official Congressional twitter account. Maybe Vegas has odds on how long that stays active
So here is my question, Why doesn't she use that as her platform instead of a personal account? If it is truthful and all or did she use it as a grandstanding platform to just yell at the clouds?

people probably started following her before she was a congressperson, so it's a continuity thing. and I'm sure she also knows it's better to get a ban on a person account than a professional one.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday pushed back against the censures of two House Republicans over their involvement in investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, arguing that it’s “not the job” of the Republican National Committee to single out its own members and disputing the characterization that the riots were “legitimate political discourse.”

in what universe am I praising McConnell in my head?
Distancing and voting time is coming.
it's a big risk though. he is really trying his best to distance the party from Trump and the Jan 6 "patriot" narrative. we'll see how it plays out. I'm sure he'll still win his seat as long as he wants it. But he may lose capital/influence in the senate.

I think you are underestimating Trump's influence if he runs again. if he wins, and mcconnell is against his agenda, senators will side with trump.
For me, the question is - is it possible that between the Republican anti-Trump rhetoric coming from some, and the pro-craziness rhetoric coming from others, divvies up the votes such that neither side can win?

if trump were to win again, I think we'd see an even harder line of trump support....he'd be absolutely unhinged if he had nothing to lose, and would destroy anyone who went against him.
