Earlier this year, Republican members of Congress wore these AR-15 lapel pins handed out by Congressman Andrew Clyde, who has a $25 million stake in a company that makes assault rifles.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children and teens in America.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Mike Johnson attacks Roe v. Wade, insisting that if only women were compelled to bring more "able-bodied workers" into the world, Republicans wouldn’t need to slash Social Security and Medicare.

The House of Representatives just elected a Speaker who doesn’t believe people like us should have the right to be married.

Neighbors in #IL17 believe otherwise. Bigotry and hate have no place in our nation’s government.

Sounds like a gem. Wowza.

Want a rundown on the new Speaker of the House, what he's done and what he believes?

We just published a rundown at DemCast. Pass it on. Link: https://t.co/5rg4Gw4jb7

Republicans can elect their Christian nationalist, forced birther, anti-gay, social security cutting, election denier as Speaker. Democrats can make sure many of them lose their jobs next year because of it, while making his tenure very brief.

“After Trump lost the election to Joe Biden, Jordan urged Trump not to concede, spread conspiracy theories, supported lawsuits attempting to disqualify the legitimate results and discussed plans to object to the 2020 election results on January 6, 2021.” https://t.co/aIRfHGT8E2

@ryandbusse @piper4missouri And the indigestion in the middle of his speaking is a capper. Gross all around.
