🧵 It’s #WomensEqualityDay, marking 102 years since the 19th amendment guaranteed a woman's right to vote. Women of all creeds protested for decades to earn this right, but many women of color continued to be barred from the ballot box for years after the 19th’s ratification. Almost two months to the day after the Supreme Court lit 49 years of precedent on fire, it’s impossible to mark #WomensEqualityDay without recognizing the dire realities of Republicans’ post-Roe world.

🧵𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫: 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.

🧵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.

Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of “GOP Votes NO and Takes the Dough.”

Let’s get started 🧵 →

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.

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Republicans will never be able to evade culpability for their role in the #Jan6th insurrection.

Here’s why → 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟:
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.
nytimes.com/2021/01/11/us/…

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 — so here’s a snapshot on how a few will benefit: 🧵 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗨𝗧: Did you know 1 in 10 Connecticut households currently do not have internet?

Rep. @JahanaHayesCT helped deliver Dems’ Infrastructure deal to fix this. #CT05

NEW 💻 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: “¿Por qué el Congresista Hurd no ha abogado por los niños inmigrantes que han sido abandonados en camionetas?”

Translation: “Why hasn't Congressman Will Hurd spoken up for immigrant children left in vans?”

💯 days ago this week, a newly elected class of diverse and energetic Democrats was sworn into the U.S. House, unified by a commitment to getting real results for their constituents back home. #100DaysForThePeople
cards.twitter.com/cards/8qk3a/76… In this short period of time, House Democrats have been busy making good on their campaign promises to tackle the rising cost of premiums and prescription drugs, and to protect the millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions.

Here’s a recap 👇

BREAKING: After flipping FORTY seats from red to blue in 2018, we've officially got our sights set on THIRTY-THREE more -- and we're ready to get to work!

Take a look at our first offensive battlefield of the 2020 cycle: Our Chair @CheriBustos is keeping her promises and wasting no time by working to expand our Democratic House Majority.

Because of you and hard-working candidates, Democrats retook the House with the largest popular vote margin of any party ever, no less!

Here's how we flipped the most Democratic seats since Watergate! (39 and counting) As the first elected Chair, Ben Ray Luján pounded the pavement the entire cycle, traveling over 52,000 miles through 27 cities and 17 states. He held events or meetings with 93 separate candidates for a total of 151 candidate meetings and events on the road.

To win the House and make history on November 6, we knew we needed to mobilize, engage, and activate key African American, Hispanic, and young voters.

So we built an aggressive, state-of-the-art digital program that rose to the occasion.

We interviewed people like Cecilia ⬇️⬇️ Cecilia is a single mom who works two minimum-wage jobs. But her daughter’s pre-school and routine checkups put her in debt. So she is voting for a change in Congress.

We’re sharing her story across a wide range of digital platforms. Take a look at her :15 cut:

Paul Ryan’s super PAC is under fire for weaponizing @SpanbergerVA07’s private personal records from her service in the CIA and law enforcement.

She’s not the only candidate that needs your help facing lies from that same super PAC.

Let’s take a look👀
cnbc.com/2018/08/31/dem… In Colorado, Paul Ryan’s super PAC came after @JasonCrowCO6.

REALITY CHECK: “Republicans know Jason Crow’s service with and for veterans is an asset, so they’re attacking it. If this is the best they’ve got, shame on them.”

What do an FBI arrest, a special prosecutor, insider trading, tax breaks spent on yachts, and not disclosing shady businesses all have in common?

It all stinks of Republican corruption.

Let's take a look 👀 Now that #NY27 GOP Rep. Chris Collins was arrested and indicted on insider trading, his seat in Congress is in play!
