It was like $1000 but we got $1600 because he is under five. It took so long to kick in we only got three checks total, I had forgotten it was even going to be a thing until one arrived.

Biden thinks that making 50k a month is normal because that's what his failson was making at Burisma, so making 120k per year must put you solidly in lower middle class

Like you realize that at 50k per month you are barely scraping by after paying for your Porsche, Stargazer (or whatever the hell his escort was named), your bribes, and your personal assistant who actually hasn't gotten a full paycheck in months because there's nothing left, right?

The district is even more conservative then before and we need a warm body in that seat so

we can keep the House...Jessica Cisneros is a great progressive but she would have little chance in this red Texas district. This is why leadership supported Cuellar...we need the seat. And it will still be hard. But at least we have a shot. We need to hold the House or it is game over for any policy going forward

the dems are on top of the midterms, guys!

quote:

TO: Interested Parties FR: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee DT: 07.29.22

Nearly 100 days until Election Day, the American people face a stark choice: House Democrats’ record of delivering for the American people, defending freedom, and fighting for justice, or MAGA Republicans’ dangerous and extreme agenda.

House Democrats Are Delivering At Home And Defending Freedom House Democrats will win this election district-by-district, in part thanks to a track record of delivering at home. From historic investments in new roads and bridges, to record job creation and small business relief, to increased funding for police and public services, House Democrats are making an impact where their constituents can feel it.

While MAGA Republicans are hellbent on passing a nationwide abortion ban, coddling insurrectionists to gain power for themselves, and cowering to the gun lobby, Democrats are fighting hard to protect Americans’ freedom and the American people know it.

AMERICANS REJECT MAGA REPUBLICANS’ ATTACK ON FREEDOM, GENERIC BALLOT SHIFTS TOWARDS DEMOCRATS Since the Republican-appointed Supreme Court’s devastating decision to rip away a woman’s right to access an abortion, multiple public polls of the generic ballot show a shift towards Democrats. Voters know Democrats are the only party that will protect their freedom. Recent polling from Civis Analytics shows a post-Dobbs shift of three percentage points over the last four weeks.

This shift, coupled with Frontline Democrats' consistent overperformance relative to the generic ballot, puts battleground candidates with a strong message of defending freedom, fighting for justice, and delivering at home in a strong position headed into November.

THE CASE FOR HOUSE DEMOCRATS: WE DELIVER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE House Democrats will build on our progress when American voters send us back to Washington to fight for them.

We put more than 600+ million shots in arms to put the worst of the pandemic behind us, kept families and small businesses afloat and got people back to work with the American Rescue Plan.

We made historic investments building American infrastructure that will create millions of jobs, and passed more than 800 bills in Congress to reform and fund police, protect women’s right to make decisions about their own bodies, protect Americans from rampant gun violence, and lower costs for working families.

Voters know House Democrats' have a record of delivering for the American people by investing in the economy, creating millions of good jobs, building America, fixing tough problems, protecting people’s freedom, and fighting for justice.

➔ Investing in the economy: Democrats delivered on the American Rescue Plan, which kept millions of businesses afloat, got Americans back on the job, kids back in schools, and put 600 million+ shots in arms to put the worst of the pandemic behind us.

➔ Creating millions of jobs building America: Thanks to President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, we’re investing $1 trillion to create at least 5 million good-paying jobs building new roads and bridges, ports and airports, increasing access to high speed internet, and strengthening our energy independence.

➔ Fixing tough problems: Democrats know war in Europe and a global supply chain crisis means real challenges for American families. That’s why we voted to stop big oil companies from price gouging at the pump, released millions of barrels from the strategic reserve to lower costs, and rushed to get more baby formula on the shelves amid a national shortage. Now, gas prices are declining at a record pace.

➔ Protecting people’s freedom: Instead of attacking people’s rights, Democrats are fighting to protect a woman's freedom to make decisions about her own body and the right of Americans to vote without political influence on the outcome of an election.

➔ Fighting for justice: House Democrats passed criminal justice reform to protect Americans, particularly Black Americans, from mistreatment at the hands of officers who violate public trust, end hair discrimination at school and work, stop Asian hate, sweeping gun safety legislation, and are fighting to prevent domestic terrorism and mass murder like the heinous crimes that occurred in El Paso, Buffalo, Uvalde, Atlanta, Orlando, and far too many other communities.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE THE RESOURCES AND CANDIDATES TO DEFEAT MAGA REPUBLICAN EXTREMISM House Democrats have battle-tested incumbents and rockstar candidates with the records of accomplishment and the personal profiles to win. Thanks to their legislative record – bringing a combined $400 million home to their districts for community projects and delivering even more through long-term infrastructure investments – voters can see how Democrats are delivering in their local communities.

Record Grassroots Fundraising Shows Enthusiasm To Hold Majority Since the start of the cycle, the DCCC has raised nearly $240 million, $33 million more than at this same point in the 2020 cycle. Grassroots supporters are fired up and have contributed nearly 5 million times with an average gift of $26. Meanwhile, MAGA Republicans are bleeding grassroots support because moderate Republican voters are fed up with the party in Washington. Democrats are ready to put the most efficient campaign dollars to work – Democratic Frontline Members hold a collective $157 million in cash on hand and Democratic challengers have more than $20 million cash on hand. With sustained fundraising, House Democrats will have the resources we need to spread our message of delivering for the American people and defining extremist MAGA Republicans.

House Democrats Are Delivering In Local Communities Frontline Democrats are running on their strong records of delivering for their districts. From Rep. Sanford “Big Check” Bishop (GA-02), to Rep. Matt Cartwright (PA-08), to Southern Nevada’s Democrats Dina Titus (NV-01), Susie Lee (NV-03), and Steven Horsford (NV-04) and everywhere in between, Democrats are bringing home much-needed investments in their communities going towards critical infrastructure, school, and law enforcement projects. Frontliners are also leading on major House-passed legislation that’s providing relief to families across the country, like Rep. Jahana Hayes’ (CT-05) bill to address the baby formula shortage and Rep. Angie Craig’s (MN-02) bill to cap insulin prices at $35.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE THE GROUND GAME TO WIN Organizing And Protecting The vote This cycle, DCCC began organizing in communities across the battlefield in the spring of the off-year, earlier than ever before. Today, there are more than 100 organizing staff working in 60+ headquarters offices across the country engaging local organizations and voters to learn what’s on voters’ minds and get folks registered and ready to vote for Democrats this November.

As Republicans wage war on Americans’ right to vote, Democrats are doubling down on protecting the right to vote. Our seven-figure national voter protection strategy is already at work ensuring every voter can safely and easily exercise their right to participate in American democracy with more information about how to vote, where to vote, and how to protect their vote if there are problems or irregularities.

Building Our Base Investments House Democrats know engaging our base is critical to victory in November. That’s why we’ve committed more than $30 million to learning from, reaching, and persuading voters of color. This spring, DCCC launched our earliest-ever Black outreach campaign in Virginia, made a historic investment in Juntos Together to combat disinformation targeting Hispanic and Latino voters, and kicked-off a seven figure effort to reach AAPI voters across the battleground. These efforts are matched by earlier-than-ever research in multiple languages to better understand the needs of our communities.

DEMOCRATS FACE BAD CANDIDATES AND MAGA REPUBLICANS THAT WILL MAKE AMERICA WORSE OFF MAGA Republicans are hellbent on banning abortion nationwide and rolling back the right to contraception. Across the country, House Democrats face off against Republicans like Tom Barrett (MI-07), who voted to kill 5,000 auto jobs in Lansing, Yesli Vega (VA-07), who publicly doubted whether rape could cause pregnancy, and inserection attendenders J.R Majewski (OH-09), Sandy Smith (NC-01), and Derrick Van Orden (WI-03).

If extremist MAGA Republicans gain control of Washington they’ll keep hurting people to protect their power. Americans will be sicker, poorer, have fewer freedoms, live in a less democratic country, be more divided, and our families will be less safe:

➔ Sicker: Republicans want to end Medicare in five years, make it harder to access affordable health care, and protect Big Pharma profits over people’s lives.

➔ Poorer: Republicans want to raise taxes on half of all Americans while giving tax cuts to the wealthy. They don’t think hard-working Americans have enough “skin in the game,” and they even vote against efforts to stop big oil companies from price gouging at the pump.

➔ Fewer freedoms: Republicans are on the brink of implenting a nationwide abortion ban and are flighting to roll back access to contraception.

➔ Less democratic: Republicans have already shown their willingness to throw out the results of an election and now some are hellbent on passing laws that will make it possible for them to throw out results even after the election has been certified.

➔ More divided: Even as Americans were gunned down in Buffalo, Republican leadership continues to foment hateful conspiracies like the “great replacement theory” to build support in the darkest corners of America.

➔ Less safe: Despite their hysterical rhetoric, House Republicans voted against funding police and blocked police reform. And they’ve turned the safety of our children, families, and communities over to the gun lobby instead of backing common sense gun reform.

Republicans have made clear exactly what they’ll do if they gain control of Washington, We’re going to make sure voters know it.

BOTTOM LINE: House Democrats have the candidates, resources, accomplishments, and ground game to win this November. Voters know we are the party of freedom, justice, and prosperity. This November, we can stop extremist MAGA Republicans’ dangerous lurch toward a sicker, poorer, less free, less democratic, more divided, and less safe America.
