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.

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.

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.
