πŸ§΅π‘»π‘―π‘Ήπ‘¬π‘¨π‘«: The Supreme Court lit 49 years of precedent on fire, creating the nightmare reality the Republican Party has worked so damn hard for.

Let's take a look at where we are and where the GOP will drag our country, kicking & screaming, if given more of an opportunity.
At least 28 @NRCC-endorsed GOP challengers supported overturning #RoeVWade.

At least four vulnerable House Republicans and πŸπŸ” @NRCC-π›πšπœπ€πžπ 𝐜𝐑𝐚π₯π₯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 support banning abortions without exceptions for rape or incest.
Now, let’s dive into some specific candidates.

Starting with @NRCC-endorsed @TimReichertCO in #CO07, who claimed abortion was a β€œhuman sacrifice” to demons and that birth control caused rape.
In #CO08: @LoriSaine introduced a bill to ban abortions without exceptions for rape and incest, said that abortion clinics were like Auschwitz, spread misinformation about IUDs, and cheered the overturning of #RoeVWade.
In #MI07: Tom Barrett (@barrettbrigade1) said he was β€œ100% pro-life – no exceptions” and sponsored an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest that would put doctors in prison.
In #MI10: @JohnJamesMI supported overturning #RoeVWade, compared abortion to β€œgenocide,” and described himself as β€œ100% pro-life,” even in cases of rape or incest and would not clarify if that included the life of the mother.
In #NE02: @DonJBacon supported banning abortion without exceptions and cosponsored a bill that would π‘—π‘Žπ‘–π‘™ π‘‘π‘œπ‘π‘‘π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘  π‘€β„Žπ‘œ π‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘š π‘Žπ‘π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘‘π‘–π‘œπ‘›π‘ .
In #OH01: @SteveChabot cosponsored multiple abortion bans that didn’t include exceptions for rape or incest, including one that could ban certain birth control and IVF and one that would jail doctors.
In #OH13: @MadisonGesiotto supported an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest and said she would die to save her child before getting an abortion and π‘’π‘›π‘π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘”π‘’π‘‘ π‘œπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘€π‘œπ‘šπ‘’π‘› π‘‘π‘œ π‘‘π‘œ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘ π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’.
In #WI03: @DerrickVanOrden said he was β€œ100% pro-life” and compared abortion to genocide.
Next, some unpopular opinion trifectas: @Mowers, @GailHuffBrown, and @KLeavittNH, i.e. nearly the *entire* #NH01 GOP primary field, supported overturning #RoeVWade.
Nevada swing district Republicans @SamPetersNevada in #NV04, @RobertsonForNV in #NV01, and @VoteAprilBecker in #NV03 all want to ban abortion.
Oregon swing district Republicans @LChavezDeRemer in #OR05, @MikeErickson_OR in #OR06, and @AlekSkarlatos in #OR04 want to ban abortions and roll back women’s rights.
These Republicans pose a serious and sustained threat to reproductive freedom. Their radical agenda will wreak further havoc on human rights. It’s not alarmist, it’s fact. Read more: extremegop.com

🧡This is a dark day for America & for millions of women who just lost their fundamental right to control their own body and their own futures. The GOP has eroded access to reproductive freedom for decades, and this final blow drags our country, kicking and screaming, backwards.
This is what the Republican Party has worked *so* *damn* *hard* *for.* Six Supreme Court justices just lit 49 years of precedent on fire and opened the doors for the GOP to enact a nationwide abortion ban.
This decision will carry devastating and dire consequences that will result in death and in the jailing of women and doctors. The American people overwhelmingly wanted to protect #RoeVWade, but Republican extremism prevailed.

Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of β€œGOP Votes NO and Takes the Dough.”

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗢𝗰: Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Let’s get started 🧡 β†’

First up, @hinsonashley.

Earlier this week, Ashley proudly took a bow and announced $829 million heading to #IA01 for critical locks & dams work.

Only problem? She voted NO on the legislation that made this possible.


Next: Maryland’s only Republican Andy Harris.

Andy announced $50k in federal funding for dredging work in his district that he had absolutely no part in securing.

Extremist House Republicans fanned the flames that led to the #Jan6thInsurrection.

They perpetuated the Big Lie and deliberately misled the American people all to curry favor with a failed ex-President.

Publicly, 224 House Republicans failed to acknowledge the truth about the 2020 election, effectively ignoring millions of American voices. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

The GOP’s behavior leading up to, during, and after the #Jan6th insurrection is inexcusable.

Democrats’ Infrastructure Deal will provide a massive fix for our nation’s roads, bridges, ports, and so much more.

These are real, substantial wins for our communities β€” so here’s a snapshot on how a few will benefit: 🧡

NEW πŸ’» AD: We just launched our largest voter contact ad of the 2020 election cycle to date -- a Spanish-language digital ad exposing Rep. @WillHurd’s failure to stand up for migrant children who were left behind in a Texas detention facility van. #TX23
cbsnews.com/news/democrats…
Our ad reads: β€œΒΏPor quΓ© el Congresista Hurd no ha abogado por los niΓ±os inmigrantes que han sido abandonados en camionetas?”

Translation: β€œWhy hasn't Congressman Will Hurd spoken up for immigrant children left in vans?”
Earlier this month, a botched effort by the Trump administration left 37 migrant children in a van β€œunder the blistering Texas sun” -- most for at least 23 hours.

Rep. @WillHurd failed to convince his party to take action against these kinds of abuses.
