OOPS. Looks like @GOPLeader McCarthy fumbled his agenda rollout by accidentally posting the webpage of @HouseGOP’s extreme MAGA “Commitment to America” – and then scrambled to password protect the website again…
...but not before we got screenshots. THREAD
Screenshots that reveal @HouseGOP's "Commitment" is doubling down on an extreme MAGA agenda:
🚨Criminalize women’s health care with a nationwide abortion ban.
🚨Slash seniors’ Medicare (including repealing the lower drug prices for seniors in the IRA).
🚨Attack our democracy.
The @HouseGOP is already on record on how they intend to implement their extreme plans for a federal law to criminalize abortion in all 50 states.
166 House Rs have co-sponsored a “Life Begins at Conception” bill to criminalize all abortion after the moment of *fertilization.*
The extreme MAGA "Commitment" promises to repeal the lower drug prices Democrats delivered for America’s seniors on Medicare!
And 158 out of 212 House Rs (including Whip Scalise & Chair Stefanik) have called for gutting Social Security & Medicare in the @RepublicanStudy Budget.
.@HouseGOP's “Commitment” promises to help insert extreme MAGA allies to disrupt polling places to help MAGA politicians invent a basis to overturn the results of elections — and give MAGA state legislatures absolute power to change election rules at their whim.
The extreme MAGA attack on our democracy is now an explicit pillar of the @HouseGOP agenda.
Here, the GOP Members' toolkit for the “Commitment to America” explicitly and baselessly attacks the legitimacy of legally-cast ballots, fanning suspicion about early voting.
No wonder @GOPLeader McCarthy wants @RepMTG standing front and center when he commits the House Republicans to such a devastating, extreme MAGA agenda.

166 House Rs would start at *fertilization*
158 House Rs endorsed plans to "save" Medicare & Social Security by slashing seniors' benefits & raising the retirement age.
Now @GOPLeader has brought the architect of the plan to make Medicare "wither on the vine" to the private @HouseGOP meeting on Commitment: @newtgingrich.
