There are four graphics in the carousel. The first has a stylized image of the world as the background with the text “Join Democrats Abroad. Become a member today!” The next three show large groups of Democrats Abroad with election and campaign signs. The text on all three says “Join Democrats Abroad” and individually says “We want you!,” Midterms are around the corner,” and finally “Stay engaged with us!”

This Presidents day, we simultaneously celebrate the great people who led this country in the past and mourn the fact that a single racist, sexist authoritarian has been able to inflict such lasting damage to the foundations of our democracy in just a single year.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
