    #Orban must go today; it's time to liberate #Europe from the toxic influence of another #UltraConservative #FakeChristian #FarRight hater pretending to be the leader of a nation.

  2. #USElections: #EuropeanGreens call for #JillStein to step down

    "On 5 November 2024 the world will be watching to see whether Americans choose #KamalaHarris or Donald #Trump to be their next president. Ahead of these pivotal elections, European Greens have called upon #USGreenParty candidate Jill Stein to withdraw her Presidential candidacy, and endorse Kamala #Harris.

    "The stakes of these elections could not be higher.

    "Donald Trump has promised that if he becomes President again, he will extend #abortion bans, deny members of the #LGBTQIA+ community their rights, and deport #migrants en masse. Like other #UltraConservative politicians across the globe with whom he has close relationships such as Vladimir #Putin, Viktor #Orbán, and Jair #Bolsonaro he would undermine democracy.

    "The European Green family, made up of Green parties from across Europe, advocates for a politics that prioritises the #planet, people and #peace above #CorporateGreed, #SystemicInjustice, and violence.

    "We are clear that Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, #authoritarian policies from the White House.

    "This election takes place at a watershed moment in the history of our planet. We face a #ClimateCrisis that is worsening every year, with #heatwaves, #floods, and a loss of #biodiversity at a rate never seen before. Climate policies require democratic institutions, which we fear would be dismantled if Trump is elected.

    "On top of this, wars are raging and authoritarianism is growing throughout the world. In this crucial moment, Europe needs Kamala Harris as President of the United States, to be a reliable partner and to take the urgent, decisive action needed on the climate crisis, and to bring about a just and sustainable peace in the Middle East.

    "European Greens also highlight the divergent values and policies of themselves and Jill Stein’s US Green Party. There is no link between the two, as the US Greens are no longer a member of the global organisation of Green parties. In part this fissure resulted from their relationship with parties with authoritarian leaders, and serious policy differences on key issues including #Russia’s full scale assault on #Ukraine.

    "Right now, the race for the White House is too close for comfort. We call on Jill Stein to withdraw from the race, and endorse Kamala Harris for the presidency of the United States."

  3. [#RightWing appointed #judges]… have chipped away at the #DOJ’s cases against #Jan6 rioters — & several other threats loom that could further erode the largest & most complex federal probe in history.

    Many of DOJ’s recent cases have relied on a “#geofence” warrant to #Google —using devices’ location #tracking to ID people inside the restricted area of the Capitol on #J6. But the [#ultraconservative] #5thCircuit recently found geofence warrants are unconstitutional.

  4. “This isn’t a bottom-up change,” said Mary Ziegler, a #law professor & historian of the #antiabortion movement. “It aligns w/the #SouthernBaptist Convention trying to figure out how #ultraconservative it’s going to be on #personhood,” she said of the #Christian movement that sees #embryos & #FertilizedEggs as human beings w/ #legal rights. [but not #women]

  5. The #RulesCommittee has traditionally been an organ of the speaker, & #legislation is typically advanced to the floor in a straight party-line vote.

    It reflected the extent of #FarRight anger over Speaker #MikeJohnson’s plan to push through the #legislation over the opposition of #ultraconservative #Republicans, & underscored how heavily the speaker will have to rely on #Democrats to push it across the finish line.

  6. Part of the populist, far-right and ultraconservative ethos is to dumben-down people. That's one of the more destructive threats they pose. This retaliation of normal activities in opposition of their politics is not normal, it's fascist.

  7. That inflamed #House #Democrats who accused #Republicans of acting in #BadFaith….

    Complicating things further, #ultraconservative #FreedomCaucus & other #FarRight #Republicans also insisted on packing the #spending bills w/ #AntiAbortion provisions & other props aimed at what they deride as “#woke” Democratic policies, unsettling Republicans from districts carried by #Biden. #McCarthy was left w/o the votes even to pass such usually noncontentious measures as the Agriculture Dept spending bill.

  8. Over the past several months, #Trump has kept a close watch on #HouseRepublicans’ momentum toward impeaching President #Biden. Trump has talked regularly by phone w/members of the #ultraconservative #HouseFreedomCaucus & other congressional #Republicans who pushed for #impeachment…. Trump has encouraged the effort both privately & publicly.

  9. #McCarthy’s decision to #unilaterally announce an #impeachment investigation w/no formal #House vote entwined the #Republican investigations into Pres #Biden w/the #funding fight…. It *appeared* to be a bid to #quell a brewing #rebellion among #ultraconservative critics who have accused the “speaker” of not taking a hard enough line on spending, by #complying w/their demands to more aggressively pursue the president (w/nothing to go on).

  10. “Speaker” #KevinMcCarthy on Tues opened an #impeachment inquiry into President #Biden, working to #appease #FarRight #lawmakers who have #threatened to #oust him if he fails to #accede to their #demands for deep #spending #cuts that would force a government #shutdown at the end of the month.

  11. …the #ultraconservative #Republicans said they will oppose a short-term extension of government #funding… if it doesn’t include a House-passed bill that funds restrictive #border policies. The continuing resolution, they said, must also include provisions that “address the unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department & FBI” & it must “end the Left’s cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon.”

  12. The debate was unfolding after “Speaker” Kevin #McCarthy capitulated late Wed to a small group of #ultraconservative Republicans who had threatened to block the #legislation, which provides a yearly #PayRaise for U.S. #troops & sets #Pentagon #policy, if their proposals did not receive consideration.
