Politico: "A trio of centrist House Democrats threw their party's health
care agenda into disarray Wednesday by blocking a plan that would have
authorized direct government negotiation of drug prices and help pay for a
$3.5 trillion social spending bill."

It's disgraceful that any Democrats would vote to torpedo lower drug
prices -- a top Democratic priority for years -- and jeopardize the entire
Democratic Build Back Better plan.

Establishment and corporate Dems in Congress recently teamed up to protect
Dems like these from primary challengers from progressives. They've formed
a whole new organization called Blue PAC specifically to defeat the next
generation of insurgent challengers like AOC, Jamaal Bowman, and Cory
Bush.

[ [link removed] ]In just the past few months, we've helped numerous progressive primary
campaigns get off the ground -- and there are more to come. We need to
double down on our work to elect bold progressives to Congress who will
fight for lower drug prices, not against them. Can you chip in $3 to this
important work this cycle?

Publicly, the establishment politicians say they are trying to protect
Democrats "slim majority" against Republicans. But we're calling their
bluff. They're lying.

 

The establishment isn't protecting the Democratic majority. They are mad
that in deep blue districts, progressives like AOC, Bowman, and Bush
challenged people who gave breaks to big corporations, opposed equality
for LGBTQ Americans, and led the anti-choice caucus in the House -- and
won. Now, they are circling the wagons to stop a new wave of progressives
from doing the same.

At best, they are protecting entrenched incumbents who have grown afraid
of their own voters. At worst, they are denying progressive voters in
overwhelmingly blue districts representation by people who deeply share
their values and will fight for them as hard as AOC, Jamaal Bowman, and
Cori Bush do.

Ultimately, this new PAC is the latest version of the establishment's
failed 2019 "blacklist" to hurt progressive consultants and candidates.
They failed then -- and we are working to make sure they fail again now.

[ [link removed] ]Chip in to help us fight back by supporting bold progressive candidates
across the country -- whether they are flipping red seats to blue or
giving the most progressive districts in the country the progressive
representation they deserve.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
