We are celebrating the passage of the Respect for Marriage act, and applaud Majority Leader Schumer and Democrats for ensuring that everyone’s right to marriage is protected by federal law.
Since her election to Congress in 2018, Rep. Omar has been subjected to an unparalleled stream of hatred from Republicans and Republican media, from vile smears to threats on her life. All of this has been fueled by Republican leadership, who seek to gain political advantage by weaponizing Islamophobia and bigotry even as they themselves foster anti-semitism within their own ranks.
The Indivisible family is mourning the violence and terror in Colorado Springs over the weekend. But mourning does not mean inaction. A tragedy like this isn't random or shocking--it's an expected outcome of the larger assault on LGBTQ lives propagated by the likes of Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, Lauren Boebert, and others.
We founded Indivisible after Trump’s election in 2016. We then beat his candidates in the 2017 Virginia elections. We then built the largest midterm margins in history of the Republic to beat him again in 2018. We then impeached him in 2019. We then beat him personally in 2020. We then beat his Georgia senate candidates in 2021. And most recently we beat his MAGA candidates in 2022. Apparently Trump is hungry for an umpteenth defeat - and we’ll give it to him.
This was supposed to be MAGA’s triumphant night. It turned into a massive embarrassment. While we’re still awaiting final results, the overall picture is clear: Democrats massively performed the midterm fundamentals.
John Fetterman’s victory is not only a rejection of MAGA extremism in Pennsylvania, it is a full blown embrace of Fetterman’s progressive, people-first campaign.
Indivisible helped fundraise nearly a quarter million dollars for the program, which supported candidates in key battleground states. While results are still coming in, Democrats held a trifecta in Michigan and denied Republicans a supermajority in Wisconsin and North Carolina.
President Biden laid out the stakes for the 2022 midterm elections in clear terms: If Republicans gain control of Congress, their efforts to strip our fundamental rights away are far from over. And he made a promise that if voters expand our Democratic majority, the first bill he will push Congress to pass will be a bill to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law.
