208 members of Congress sign on to an amicus brief arguing that eliminating birthright citizenship isn’t just unconstitutional, it also violates multiple laws passed by Congress which require and/or acknowledge jus soli.

Round up the usual suspects

ehc20.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m surprised at my rep Bonamici being on this list

spm1961.bsky.social•10 days ago

MGP and Jared Golden are just reliably awful

fascistdemtracker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Bonamici is really wild, but agree with others that it has to be a mistake.

Everyone else on that list though voted yay for both the House and Senate versions of the Laken Riley Act and the Raul Gonzales Act. Seem to be folks who really value anti-immigration ideals.

jeanie31199.bsky.social•7 days ago

They don’t value our democracy.

joekatz45.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thanks for the context!

keithhoustonvoices.bsky.social•10 days ago

Perez is not surprising, she’s a “Dem” in deep red southern Washington. Disappointing, but not surprising.

keithhoustonvoices.bsky.social•10 days ago

Also voted for the SAVE act.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•10 days ago

Good god

Also what's Sharice Davids doing on this list??

fascistdemtracker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Davids is a pretty big supporter of anti-immigrant legislation. This year alone she voted yay for the Laken Riley Act (the House version and the worse Senate version) and the Raul Gonzales Act

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ah, gotcha, so she just sucks (but it's Kansas so 🤷‍♂️)

fascistdemtracker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Pretty much. Grading on a Kansas curve she's fine (and out of the 11 fascist bits of legislation the House has voted on, those are the only 3 she has supported), but in the current climate her support is giving credibility to some extremely horrific stuff.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah. Drives me up the wall that any Democrats give the slightest credence to this stuff, but, here we are

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•10 days ago

I like "the Kansas curve." We have a similar curve in Alabama.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•10 days ago

The one in Alabama is much worse (except for the one majority-black vote sink district...)

tekla.bsky.social•10 days ago

That’s what I’m confused about, too.

joekatz45.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hmmm. She’s pretty moderate, so it didn't catch me off guard like Bonamici did. But as I'm thinking about it further...

chrisfumo.bsky.social•7 days ago

she's been (quietly) one of the worse members of Congress since around 2021

kathleenn.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah, what the hell???

nathanwnorth.bsky.social•10 days ago

PNW: Gluesenkamp Perez is proving herself to be a fucking idiot, but what is Bonamici's problem?

kerrycl.bsky.social•10 days ago

Super disappointing to see Adam Gray here.

kathleenn.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah, he is Smarmy and unreliable....

cldek.bsky.social•10 days ago

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is really turning into a villain, what the hell

joekatz45.bsky.social•10 days ago

You should see the other guy

cldek.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah I heard from someone who lives in her district that the choices in that part of southwest Washington are ✨grim✨ so I don't even know how likely it is she'll get a primary challenger but good lord. Why is she evil

somecody.bsky.social•10 days ago

reed college

cldek.bsky.social•10 days ago

Aw, my dad dropped out of Reed. Maybe dropping out spared him the supervillain arc?

somecody.bsky.social•10 days ago

without a doubt

revrend.bsky.social•10 days ago

I had negative feelings about reed before her. She's intensified them quite a bit.

somecody.bsky.social•10 days ago

im a greener and you cannot convince me you can do a ‘weird’ school and not make it public

gcnp58.bsky.social•10 days ago

Reed turns people evil?

somecody.bsky.social•10 days ago

tragically it appears so

jessaquack.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah, but at this point maybe Joe Kent should have won if MGP is going to vote the same way he would have. It would have kept him out of the National Counterterrorism Center.

lifelivedwildly.bsky.social•9 days ago

Good gods, he was (and remains) awful. And…when it’s something as foundational as birthright citizenship? Do the right thing and then go tell your constituents why it’s the right thing. Make your case, persuade them.

Otherwise you’re just holding on to power and enabling horrific shit.

dmrma413.bsky.social•10 days ago

Seriously fuck those guys especially golden he's been on a roll lately

friendlygamer.bsky.social•10 days ago

For those who don't know, Golden is one of the asshats trying to disenfranchise a hell of a lot of voters via the SAVE Act.

jeanie31199.bsky.social•7 days ago

He’s a liar, too, on his “reasons.”

bellbrookecandle.bsky.social•10 days ago

As did Perez and Case. Traitors in our midst.

napochem.bsky.social•10 days ago

Remember: "Blue Dog" is code for "Republican that's not comfortable with the n-word being used out loud in public."

devin-eleven.bsky.social•10 days ago

Jared Golden needs to switch parties. I know we need every vote, but he already votes with Republicans whenever it counts.

kittyo.bsky.social•10 days ago

Seeing Perez, Case & Golden’s names and wondering what’s up with them. They voted for the SAVE Act too.

amybecker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Golden and Perez again huh? Those two are absolutely useless

calvinonthebeach.bsky.social•10 days ago

A couple of these Dem names keep showing up on the wrong side of these issues. Why would Democrat not be a signatory?

sensitivepapi.bsky.social•10 days ago

That shouldn’t be an “obviously”

erinishere1999.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Republican Party has been nothing but white supremacy cheerleaders for a LONG time.

proptermalone.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ed Case, huh

joekatz45.bsky.social•10 days ago

Name keeps popping up, doesn't it

proptermalone.bsky.social•10 days ago

I don’t understand Hawaii politics at all but it sure seems like he should catch a primary

tomscud.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hawaii does seem to produce really terrible reps considering how safely dem it is

tomscud.bsky.social•10 days ago

Case has been in the house since 2002 but only 11 of those 23 years. And both of Hawaii’s congressional districts.

suchatravesty.bsky.social•10 days ago

Adam Gray won by about 200 votes - and a lot of us went out to help his campaign cure ballots to get him there. He has a large Hispanic electorate. He'll be gone.

joekatz45.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hard agree. On both counts.

mccdave.bsky.social•10 days ago

Mazie Hirono voted for Trump positions less than anyone in the Senate. I don’t think Case’s badness has much to do with Hawaii’s idiosyncrasies.

mccdave.bsky.social•10 days ago

poouliinhanawi.bsky.social•10 days ago

He's got name recognition, represents the more conservative district, including socially conservative Dems, and there really are not that many good, progressive challengers and the ones that could beat him mostly live in Tokuda's district. Hawaii is more union Dem than progressive Dem overall IMO.

proptermalone.bsky.social•10 days ago

Bonamici seems like a probable administrative screwup?

minimallycrazy.bsky.social•10 days ago

Just in case I'm pulling up her contact info to put the scare up her, as her constituent.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah I was wondering how many of these might be that

proptermalone.bsky.social•10 days ago

the others all have plausible electoral arguments for ducking I think

jennyondioline.bsky.social•10 days ago

IIRC he was the biggest Dem overperformer relative to Biden in 2020? Like almost Assad numbers, even if his district is already like D+20.

Not that he doesn’t deserve a primary, especially in a district like this one

mattweiner19.bsky.social•10 days ago

that is why he is bad. I want reps in a D+20 district to take far-left positions that alienate swing voters. winning by Assad margins doesn't get us an extra seat

jennyondioline.bsky.social•10 days ago

Bit of a weird thing with him representing a district that is basically just Honolulu (i.e. urban) while the remainder of the state is repped by solid progressive Jill Tokuda.

bellbrookecandle.bsky.social•10 days ago

What is up with Reps. Golden, Perez, and Case?! Those 3 also signed onto to passing the SAVE ACT! Seriously just change parties already traitors!

thenoteheleft.bsky.social•10 days ago

The "opposition."

epluribus.bsky.social•10 days ago

WTF

jjinandtonic.bsky.social•10 days ago

Shaking my fist*

JARRRREEEEEEDDDDDS

thesnarkygent.bsky.social•10 days ago

Cool, yet another thing to call and yell at @gluesenkampperez.house.gov for, what a disgrace to have her speak for the people of WA-03

gausch.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes, Barron born 3/20/2006, Melania became a citizen 7/28/2006 —

gausch.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wasn’t Barron Trump born before Melania was a citizen of the US? By 4 months, I believe. End his birth right citizenship and send him and his Mom back to Slovenia, to keep their family together, Trump could go too…. I believe that is what they are saying.

jennyondioline.bsky.social•10 days ago

Bonamici is normally solidly liberal/progressive (top 25% of House Dems maybe), what’s she doing here.

joekatz45.bsky.social•10 days ago

Gooooood question

ctsinclair.bsky.social•10 days ago

@kansasreflector.com @journalist-sherman.bsky.social I am very interested to hear why @davids.house.gov joined the Republicans and did not sign on to this. I will be calling her office to ask.

typomaker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sure seems like Jared Golden must either be a red-pilled Republican or is being paid by Republicans, no?

cactusdan.bsky.social•10 days ago

@repbonamici.bsky.social what's the reason for this?
