John,

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries will need our support to continue effectively fighting GOP seditionists, and supporting Democrats across the country in critical races. Will you join us to support his work with $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford for the battle?

Nobody alive has ever seen what happened in the GOP House Caucus yesterday … and today we still don’t have a Speaker of the House.

As suspected, Kevin McCarthy lacked the votes to become Speaker. (Four times. So far. Who knows how long this will go on.) But, for some reason, he chose to hold a vote anyhow as his party devolved into bedlam. Today, we’re now hearing that he’s relying on a meeting that Donald Trump is brokering with the extremists in the House Freedom Caucus. 

Yes, for the first time in 100 years, a member of the majority standing for election to be Speaker of the House was rejected by their own party. Right after the vote, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who McCarthy bribed to vocally support him by promising to put her back on her committees--Jewish lasers be damned!--attacked her erstwhile pals on the radical right who voted against McCarthy, such as Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert. 

It truly is chaos for the House GOP. But, the Democrats?

 

 

New Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries held the Democratic Caucus together, allowing us to attack the corrupt GOP clown-show today from a position of unity. He's showing Americans how an adult party looks, is putting Dems in position to reject GOP radicalism and even has a chance of making someone a speaker who supports abortion rights, Social Security, gun safety and other issues we care about.

Jeffries will need our support to continue effectively fighting GOP seditionists. Will you join us to give new Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford for the battle?

Thanks for making this an even better day for Democrats and democracy,

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.
