Dear friend,
After three weeks of internal GOP discord and no legislative action in the House, Republicans finally chose a speaker. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) hails from the extreme right wing. He voted to gut Social Security and Medicare, criminalize abortion, repeal marriage equality and end support for Ukraine. Johnson also opposed certification of the full Electoral College results and is a top architect of lawsuits to overturn the results of the 2020 Election, which should be disqualifying to serve as speaker.
In the coming weeks, Congress will consider a request from President Biden for security assistance to Ukraine and Israel, humanitarian assistance to Gaza, border security and childcare affordability - along with the entire appropriations for the fiscal year.
