Jack, we all know that losing the Senate majority would be disastrous. However, we're not talking enough about the nightmare that would unfold if KEVIN MCCARTHY becomes speaker of the House.

We're taking no chances. Daily Kos has identified a dozen key races where our people-powered donations can make the most difference. Chip in $12, or whatever you can, to help hold our House majority—blocking McCarthy from running the country into the ground, and ensuring that President Biden gets at least two more years to enact his agenda.

If Republicans retake the House in November, things are going to get ugly, fast. Kevin McCarthy, who is not known for his intelligence, wit, or ability, has cozied up to the most extreme members of Congress in order to secure the speakership. This clay-brained cabal mapped out priorities for a Republican-controlled Congress. Here are some highlights:

Unleash a flood of farcical investigations. Thought the investigations into Hillary Clinton's emails were bad? Buckle up. Republicans plan to "investigate" everyone from Attorney General Merrick Garland to Dr. Anthony Fauci. Of course none of their investigations have any legitimacy, but that won't stop them from wasting our time and money on personal grievances.

Ignite right-wing culture wars. Expect one bill after another targeting transgender children, public education, same-sex marriages, and more. Hope you're not tired of talking about other people's genitals because the GOP cannot get enough of it.

Ban abortion and contraception. I don't have anything pithy to say about this. We've seen the abortion ban they plan to pass. We've already lost too many people since Republican state legislatures outlawed abortion care. Our families and communities deserve better.

All of this is on top of general Republican nonsense like tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-rich, cutting Social Security, selling off public lands, and bringing us to the brink of war with Iran or China or whoever they're mad at that day.

If Republicans take control of the House, Kevin McCarthy will have the votes to deliver an extreme agenda. However, while the GOP only needs to flip five seats to take control, and we're defending a lot of vulnerable members, there's a whole host of districts where Democrats can go on offense and turn seats from red to blue.

We have a path forward. Help shut McCarthy down by donating $1 to each of Daily Kos' Democratic Dozen today.
