IMPORTANT: In light of the Republican Party’s outrageous pledge to jam through a Supreme Court nominee 43 days before a general election, The Banter is going to donate ALL new memberships (including transaction fees) for the next 48 hours to the “Get Mitch Or Die Trying” fund. This fund allocates money to Senate races the Democrats have a serious chance of winning (Colorado, Maine, North Carolina, Montana, Iowa, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Alaska, South Carolina, Texas, Kansas). It is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to flip the Senate in 2020 if Democrats want to counter the GOP’s egregious power grab in the Supreme Court that could end Obamacare, roll back Roe vs Wade and destroy environmental legislation.
