For context, this post is assuming that Democrats will take back the House by a considerable margin, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Yesterday, two Democrats Jared Golden of Maine (who is leaving Congress) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington joined with Republicans to vote for a resolution which ultimately let Republicans–who were in disarray and couldn’t pass the resolution by themselves without Democratic assistance–which will allow them to vote on a bad mining bill, a resolution to condemn socialism, and the misnamed “Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act”, which penalizes universities that boycott Israel.

Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries, he angry:

Even worse than the vote itself, Golden and Gluesenkamp Perez didn’t let anyone know they were going to do this. Assuming Democrats have a reasonable majority next term, Gluesenkamp Perez should not be allowed to sit on any committees. There must be consequences for defying the entire caucus and advancing the Republican, which is to say, fascist agenda.

And it’s worth noting that it wasn’t the progressive members of the caucus who did this bullshit, it was two fucking moderates.
