NEW: @DemocraticAGs Co-Chairs MA AG @maura_healey & OR AG @EllenRosenblum on #RNCConvention2020 & the Importance of Protecting Reproductive Rights
“Giving the megaphone of a prime-time television spot to an anti-abortion activist is just part of the GOP’s extremist strategy to outlaw abortion and drown out the voices of the majority of Americans who support access to safe, legal abortion and reproductive health care.
"We won’t let that happen.”

“In the past few years, we have seen politicians push unconstitutional abortion restrictions where they repeatedly get overruled in the courts."
"We know well the dangerous game they are playing, and we will work every day to defend reproductive freedom and uphold the rule of law. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for the Republican party."
"Now, more than ever, we must work together to make the voices of a majority of Americans heard above the misinformation and dangerous rhetoric.”
“Democratic AGs will fight—not just to stop this political agenda to undermine Roe v. Wade—but to break down entrenched barriers to access safe, legal abortion. No one should be blocked from the basic health care they need.”
“We must elect leaders up and down the ticket who will defend and expand reproductive rights. There is too much at stake to let the extremism go unchecked in November.”

#BREAKING >> Alabama AG Steve Marshall -- who is the Chair of the Rule of Law Defense Fund, the RAGA org that sponsored & promoted the Jan 6 rally turned deadly riot -- is seeking re-election.

He should be asked about this every day.

A quick thread👇
montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/202…
Jan 8 AG Marshall said, he "was unaware of unauthorized decisions," that "it is unacceptable that I was neither consulted about nor informed of those decisions" & that, "those who chose to engage in violence and anarchy should and will be held accountable"
alreporter.com/2021/01/08/ala…
Fast forward to April 9 -- three months later -- and AG Marshall and the Republican Attorneys General Association "didn’t respond to questions" from @BurkhalterEddie

This is gonna be a painful & expensive primary for the Republican Attorneys General Association.

It’s certainly possible this turns into a RAGA v MAGA primary if GPB gets Trump’s endorsement—which, I have to believe, would be incredibly embarrassing for indicted TX AG Ken Paxton
Why embarrassing? There are few who attached themselves closer to Trump.

Paxton, along with other Republican AGs, essentially acted as Trump’s personal lawyer…and in the final days even sued to try to overturn the election & spoke at the Jan 6 rally turned deadly riot.
On top of that, the Republican Attorneys General Association has gone full MAGA.

-> Their new chair tried to overturn the election not once, but ~twice~
-> Their new Exec Dir is deeply tied to Jan 6 & “Big Lie”

Since folks are talking about the January 6th commission...

"You would think that a committee made up of some of America’s top law enforcement officials would blanche at being party to an attempt to end the rule of law. But in fact, it’s just the opposite"

@Timodc writes on Republican AGs/RAGA in @BulwarkOnline👇
thebulwark.com/this-week-in-r…
"In April, RAGA’s board promoted Peter Bisbee—who oversaw a paid campaign to encourage grassroots supporters to “march on the Capitol to stop the steal”—to the group’s executive director."
Y'day, "RAGA made [SC AG] Alan Wilson the committee’s new chairman. Wilson, who is the rare GOP official radical enough to earn the praise of Lin Wood, is currently facing a disciplinary complaint for supporting 'false & frivolous lawsuits' attempting to overturn the elections."
