U.S. And International Politics

[Rick Plant]

The GOP pledges to BLOCK funding of ANY federal programs until next year. That would include veterans programs, aid to Puerto Rico, and infrastructure spending.

Once again the Republican party exposes themselves as the party of obstruction as they play political games with the lives of Americans. 

Republicans have zero interest in helping Americans with important issues in their lives.

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Republicans are rolling out a new agenda—but we already know the MAGA GOP’s extreme agenda:

—A nationwide abortion ban
—Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block
—Raising taxes on working families

Val Demings @valdemings

My opponent will stop at nothing to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Cheri Beasley @CheriBeasleyNC

Once again, my opponent Congressman Ted Budd has refused to stand up for our democracy – this time by voting against the Presidential Election Reform Act.

Here's a fact: Ted Budd is an election denier.

After the 2020 Election? Budd voted against certifying the election.

After January 6th? Budd defended insurrectionists and called them "patriots."

And now? He refuses to commit to upholding November's election result.

North Carolina deserves more from its next Senator.

Maggie Hassan @Maggie_Hassan

Don Bolduc will end Medicare as we know it and take away care for hundreds of thousands of Granite State seniors.

Bolduc would create immeasurable harm by taking away these critical programs.

The third rail Republicans can’t stop touching
Social Security and Medicare are wildly popular. So why do GOP Senate candidates keep talking about privatizing them?

Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly

Lowering prescription drug costs. Strengthening Medicare. Protecting Social Security.

Arizona seniors can count on me to have their back.

Madison Horn for U.S. Senate @madisonhornok

Everyone needs to see this. @SenatorLankford is connecting the passing of a deeply flawed, extreme piece of legislation restricting women's rights with rain falling as a sign of God’s blessing. The fact is, women are now suffering and Oklahoma is still in a drought.

Lindsey Graham and the GOP want a national abortion ban.

[Rick Plant]

Kevin McCarthy and the GOP unveiled their new radical agenda.

Their agenda calls for:   

A nationwide abortion ban.
Higher prescription drug prices.
Gutting Social Security and Medicare.
Less secure elections and a weakened democracy.

158 out of 212 House Republicans have called for slashing and privatizing Social Security, raising the retirement age to 70 and ending Medicare as we know it as part of the GOP Contract For Cruelty.

Republicans have been very vocal about eliminating Social Security and Medicare.

Their radical plan also calls for arming teachers with guns at schools, whitewashing history they don't like, and banning books nationwide.

Republicans are already banning books in red states and banning history subjects in schools that deal with slavery and racism.

Seniors can't afford to pay high taxes and lose their Social Security. Republicans with their own words.

President Biden @POTUS

For what it’s worth, I happen to think the best way to figure out what Congressional Republicans’ commitments are is to look at the ones they’ve already made.

Mark Kelly Holds Solid Lead in Arizona

A new AARP poll in Arizona finds Sen. Mark Kelly (D) is leading opponent Blake Masters (R) in the race for U.S. Senate, 50% to 42%.

For comparison, the FiveThirtyEight polling average also shows Kelly up by eight points.
