Don't get MAD. Get EVEN. Make them pay.

Make Republican senators pay for confirming Brett Kavanaugh


Republican Sen. Susan Collins just announced her support for confirming right-wing fanatic, conspiracy theorist, perjurer, and alleged sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court for life. This all but guarantees Kavanaugh's confirmation. It’s a horrific outcome, perpetrated on the American people by a gang of GOP senators who represent a minority of the country—and by admitted predator Donald Trump, who of course lost the popular vote.These Republicans, though, think they can hide from what they’re doing, because most of them won’t have to face voters for another two or four years. But they’re wrong: We can punish them, right now. Here’s how:

Two of the Republicans who support Kavanaugh are up for re-election next month: Nevada Sen. Dean Heller and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Both are neck-and-neck in the polls with their Democratic opponents. Daily Kos has already endorsed both these Democrats.

In 2020, more than a half-dozen other Republicans who back Kavanaugh will be up for re-election in potentially competitive states. That election may be two years away, but we have a special tool we can use today to make these Republicans pay: ActBlue’s Democratic nominee funds. You can donate right now to these funds, which will hold all the money they raise in escrow until after each state's Democratic primary, then transfer all those funds to that state's Democratic nominee for the general election.
