This week is a big deal

Yes with the 1/6 hearings but IMO with the House beginning to put bills on the floor to put repukes on record via votes concerning massively popular laws protecting privacy and choice. THIS will fend off anything these fucks throw at us in Nov. and let us retain the House.

These bills give Dems in the house ammo, big time ammo, ammo they desperately need, to fight the BS the repukes are trying to sell. Honestly, if this week is a sign, it's the most proactive I've seen the party at the House level in a long time. Nancy needs to keep it up. Pile drive these bills for the next 3 months.

It's so important for Dems running in the House. We have to put the repukes on their heels. Roe is the opportunity, but privacy is the hammer. Fuck it if the bills don't get through the Senate, the House is where we are vulnerable. Give these House members the Javelin missiles they need to fight these fascist crazy fucks in the micro world districts they have to run politically.

Leadership needs to continue to evolve from reactionary fear and to keep it up. Do not let up. Never give up. Gatling Gun these fuckers Nancy, I beg you.

Put every vulnerable GOP legislator on record voting against these popular bills, and then hammer them for it in their home states and districts.

Putting Republicans on record in HOUSE votes will have limited impact because too many of the Republicans are in safe, gerrymandered districts, where voters actually oppose the Democratic proposals.
