Indivisibles,
Republicans just elected the most extreme, far-right speaker in modern history.
There’s a lot we could say about Mike Johnson -- he played a key role in the effort to overturn the 2020 election (crafting the bunk legal theory behind decertification), desperately wants to end Social Security as we know it, and supports a total, no exception ban on abortion nationwide.
But the more important thing is what his election says about the Republican Party and its continued slide toward extremism, embrace of election denialism, and disinterest in serving the public in any way.
This should be a clarifying moment for voters everywhere: The GOP doesn’t care about our democracy. And we shouldn’t let them run any part of it.
If you’re feeling in the mood to hold House Republicans accountable for their extremism and sweep them out of power, we’ve got a plan to do it. Chip in now to help >>
On newscasts tonight, you’ll hear about how Republican ‘moderates’ fell in line to elect Johnson, but let’s be real: No one who voted to put the Speaker’s gavel in Johnson’s hand should be allowed to call themselves a moderate without being laughed out of the room.
All 18 Republicans who were elected in Biden-won districts voted today for a MAGA zealot. We’re going to put them on blast, hold them accountable for this vote and everything Johnson does through next November, and defeat them.
This work is happening now, but with fundraising down, we could really use your help to make the most of this moment and ensure vulnerable Republicans pay a steep political price. Please chip in if you can and help us restore our majority next year >>
