But if we’re serious about preventing such horrors in the future, we have to go beyond condemnation. Phyllis Bennis What You Are Seeing in Gaza Is Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing Seventy-five years of global inaction and Israeli impunity have led to this moment in which one of the most vulnerable populations on earth is pummeled by one of the world’s strongest military powers on a genocidal warpath.

All you need to know about the state of the Republican Party

 

House Republicans have spent this week debating who should be the next Speaker of the House after a small group of extremists initiated the ousting of McCarthy last week. I’m here to tell you that the way things are going, no matter who Republicans end up choosing — we can expect we’re just going to get McCarthy 2.0, or even worse.

The current options for Speaker are a litany of extremists who support national bans on abortion, voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election, have ties to the KKK and neo-Nazi groups, and have damaged our democracy — deliberately.

And that’s all you need to know about the state of the Republican Party.

So again, if Republicans are interested in governing, I welcome them to join Democrats and vote for Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House so we can get to work on passing legislation that helps the people who sent us here.

Meanwhile, I’m going to continue doing what the people of Massachusetts’ 7th district sent me here to do: advance policies that center marginalized communities, and fight back against legislation that intends to inflict harm. If you’re able, please donate $10.00 or anything you can to resist Republican extremism and power our movement for a more just world.

I’ll keep you updated on what comes next.

Yours in service,

Ayanna

7 California Republicans were just ranked as some of the most vulnerable House seats in 2024

 

Here’s the deal: If we want to make transformative change in our nation, it’s not enough to just win one or two seats. We need to win up and down the ballot. Holding the White House. Growing our Senate majority. Taking back the House from MAGA Republicans. We have a plan to make that happen. Donate now to help >> Daily Kos just released their analysis on the most vulnerable House seats in 2024 — and seven California Republicans are on it. That means if Democrats can flip just these seven House seats in California, we take back the House majority. But winning a House race is expensive. Just take it from Adam — who at the time ran in the most expensive House election ever during his first campaign. And with California as the epicenter for the 2024 elections, there’s no doubt special interest groups will flood millions of dollars into the state. Team Schiff is working to build the largest grassroots coalition in our state’s history, and we’re ready to work to turn out voters and help Democrats win up and down the ballot. Investing in this campaign means more than just electing Adam to the Senate. It means building a coalition to help boost Democratic turnout across the state. It means reserving more TV and digital ads calling out GOP extremism. It means ramping up our organizing efforts in pivotal counties. It means delivering President Biden a majority in both chambers of Congress. Now with less than 150 days until Californians start receiving their primary ballot, we need your help to power our work. Will you pitch in $10 to help grow our get-out-to-vote efforts and help Democrats win in California up and down the ballot? Thank you, Team Schiff
