MTG’s _personal_ twitter account has been suspended permanently after multiple short-term suspensions over the last year-or-so, mostly for Covid misinformation. Her official congressional twitter account remains active. At least one article I saw mentions that she had been using her personal account mostly, and not so much her official account. So she will probably now switch to using her official account more often, until that gets banned too. ---
