October 4, 2023 Republicans, Only, Can't, Forgive0 comment

The fall of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy today demonstrated again that the one sin that cannot be forgiven in the modern Republican Party is being seen as failing to fight the Democratic agenda by any means necessary. Of all the accusations that could be leveled against McCarthy, the notion that he was insufficiently committed to battling Democrats would not seem high on the list. As the GOP minority leader in the previous Congress, McCarthy voted to reject the 2020 election results in two key states and tried to impede the…

With this week marking the anniversary of the disastrous Dobbs decision, we wanted to share new research which documents the abortion stances of every Complicit Caucus member. Since last year, support for abortion rights has grown, even and especially in red states, which puts the Complicit Caucus’s collective stance on abortion even further out of step with a vast majority of Americans.

These members of Congress, who vote lockstep with Republican leadership, represent constituents…

With many agencies’ return-to-office plans still uncertain, Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee want to take matters into their own hands. GOP committee leaders changed their strategy for trying to get more federal telework data, now reaching out directly to agency heads. In a series of 25 letters, the lawmakers asked for up-to-date numbers of teleworking federal employees, after saying the Biden administration was “not adequately tracking the specific levels of telework.” The Biden administration “has not provided current data about the specific amount of telework occurring within…
