John,

Joe Biden and driver of the GOP clown car, Kevin McCarthy, have reached a debt ceiling deal. The end result is after all the GOP lies and drama, they maybe got 5% of what they wanted. 

Yet, a Republican sub-group of soulless goons, "The Freedom Caucus," have enough votes to kill the deal. The Freedom Caucus is a collection of angry little white (mostly) guys knee-deep in the attempted January 6th coup.

Economist Paul Krugman's take:

As we shared previously, Social Security is the FIRST thing cut if the deal falls through. Yet, as we also told you, we've never seen a group fight GOP attempts to screw us with the success of Social Security Works (SSW). 

Even in overwhelmingly GOP districts, voters are scared of losing Social Security, and SSW will fight to ensure every voter in those districts knows their Freedom Caucus Rep is responsible if they dare vote down this deal.

So, we MUST rush Social Security Works resources--even over a holiday weekend--to fight Freedom-Caucus lunacy. Will you join us in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can so they can protect our Social Security?

Thank you for honoring all who came before us this Memorial Day weekend by fighting for the freedoms and dignity they protected.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
