Congressional Republicans will decide whether she keeps her leadership spot or not. If she decides to run for her congressional seat again and gets a primary opponent you could send her some money but I don't see that she's announced her plans yet.

letters to the editor? RNC? House members?

I know she certainly isn't getting an money from me (on any organization I support)
I'll verbally back up anyone putting lie to 'Stolen Election" .. but that's about as far as it goes.

No I don’t think she disowned her, but she verbally said she didn’t agree her sister should get married to another woman. This of course was during her first campaign where gay marriage had just passed by Supreme Court or shortly before.

I don't even know if she is in danger of losing her seat. The Cheney name might have more cache with Wyoming voters than the GOP tag. Wyoming even elects Democrats sometimes.

If you feel like doing something, you might just make a call to her office and leave a nice comment. They are probably taking heat and if you just call up and say you're a lifelong Dem who disagrees with her on issues but admires her principles, they might appreciate the kind words.

I would encourage her to vote with the Democrats , and encourage all real republicans to vote with them too until these extreme fascists are out of office. They should openly side opposing their lies, their corruption, and their extremist acts they back, by voting with the Democrats until their party purges them. Staying with the republicans now is siding against our Democracy, against the truth, and for corrupting, and a fascist state where votes don't count, and one person rules.

and their announced plans to go "heavy" on PRO-INSURRECTIONIST lawmakers would be one place if you were so inclined. The LP "never-Trumpsters" are undoubtedly still sympathetic to R's in the Dick Cheney-GWB* vein so will undoubtedly fight back in response to the Liz Cheney attacks.

Her Predicted predecessor Elusive Elise Stefanik of NY-21.

She is my rep and we need to do everything within our power to see she is ousted in 2022 when she is again up for re-election.

I am not so sure there is much we can do now to stop the McCarthy MAGA GQP freight train. But, if we can get a good challenger to Stefanik, we can nip one of the more vicious tentacles in the bud.

That said, I'm going to elevate some of the words she is using. Please note, most of what she is currently saying is complete horseshit. We are just focusing on the parts we like. I see no downfall in promoting the divide in the Republican Party.

I think moderates and independents already believe her.

On the other hand... if she decides she wants to switch parties, I might consider our support to be worth-while. (That's a long-shot.)

There's nothing for us to support, no campaign to fund.

And even if there was, she has access to much more than any paltry sum raised here.

And she's one of the Republicans who were fine with the status quo anteTrumpum: the cultists were there, but dancing to the leadership's tune. Why would we support more of that?

They're taking advantage of our focus on the dotard stain and continued threat, by making inroads against the filibuster etc and targeting Senators pressuring them to come out it, etc.
