The #ConservativePartnershipInstitute (#CPI) has become a breeding ground for the next generation of #Trump loyalists & an incubator for policies he might pursue. Its fast growth is raising questions.
The group’s top exec, #JimDeMint, the fmr SC US senator, was there, as was #MarkMeadows …who is paid $847k annually as the org’s snr adviser. More than a dozen members of the #House#FreedomCaucus also turned up, as did #MollieHemingway, the editor in chief of the #RightWingjournalism website #TheFederalist, whose parent company #CPI helps underwrite.
…On social media, #conservative & #RightWing accounts circulated a #false claim that the #legislation would enable #undocumented#immigrants to claim the #ChildTaxCredit. That is NOT TRUE — the #law does nothing to alter a provision requiring Social Security numbers to access the benefit — but the concerns reached #FarRight lawmakers in the Capitol, w/ #House#FreedomCaucus Chair Bob Good (R) telling reporters that he would not support “child tax credits going to illegals.”
What Trump can’t eat, sit on, piss on, shit on, control, own, sell, or fuck, he resolves to destroy. One such thing: U.S. democracy.
Republicans aren’t running for public office to preserve, protect, and defend our democracy. They’re hoping to destroy our democracy with little to no resistance, from the inside. They’ve committed themselves to weakening and dismantling U.S. government, its institutions, and its defenses. #Trump#MAGA#FreedomCaucus#Republicans
@flexghost I love that #Trump has a never ending supply of douchebag cards to play 🙄
I've a better idea: all the #FreedomCaucus resign and take #FelonBob with them.
Putin gives orders to Trump.
Trump gives orders to the so-called “Freedom Caucus.”
The so-called “Freedom Caucus” gives orders to Speaker McCarthy.
Speaker McCarthy does as he’s told.
Trump is everywhere: in the classrooms of your local elementary schools; in the mayor’s office. He’s your next door neighbor, your coworker, and maybe your boss. Trump is in your bedroom. He’s in the Senate, the House, and on the SCOTUS bench. #Trump#KevinMcCarthy#FreedomCaucus#fascism#ubiquity

Every minute and taxpayer dollar Congressional Republicans allocate to doing Trump’s bidding adds up to months and millions of taxpayer dollars not being dedicated to The People’s business. #FreedomCaucus#TrumpsHenchmen#TrumpTools
@aliide
That type of thinking might be the norm in certain academic circles (and among hippie ice cream makers), but it's hardly representative of the mainstream #left in the USA. As Glemb regularly likes to point out, even #Bernie, #AOC, & #TheSquad have voted for nearly every measure that's come up in #Congress to support #Ukraine since #Russia's full scale invasion. The same can't be said of #RightWing#Republicans like the #FreedomCaucus. @brooklynman
Nina Burleigh explains why Marjorie Taylor Greene finds herself expelled from the Freedom Caucus:
"The Congresswoman from Georgia violated the principal rule of the Trump-era Republican Party. She acknowledged the performative con that is the sine qua non of MAGA politics and the Trumpy political grift."
"From the cheap, Chinese-made Fuck Biden flags that enrich MAGA merch tycoons and befoul American roadways, to the faux outrage about woke, to Bannon’s felonious wall con, to The Big Lie itself, to Murdochs and Tucker Carlson, no one on the real inside believes a word of it. Every speech, slogan and act of the assault on decency, the degradation of the American political discourse has been about $$$."
One of the hard right wings of the #RepublicanParty is called the "Freedom Caucus." They are so open and free they don't have a membership roster and no real organization. I wonder why something so free is so secretive?
What is the #FreedomCaucus hiding besides criminal activity and their fascist bigotry?

GOP infighting continues as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is kicked out of the “Freedom Caucus,” which consists of roughly three dozen far-right Republicans.
Greene was removed from the group because of a disruptive argument she had with another member of the Freedom Caucus, Lauren Boebert, regarding a hypothetical impeachment of President Joe Biden.
