The opposition is nearing single digits at this point and establishment and moderate Republicans are proving just how meaningless those two descriptors have always been when applied to them. They are proving that the GOP ethos is absolutely clear: party—the MAGA party—over country. The assumption is that Jordan is promising them something, and that he will be able to deliver that something better than anyone else could. Yes, the same Jordan that former Speaker John Boehner called a “legislative terrorist.” The same Jordan who tried to overturn the 2020 election. The one who was on the phone with Donald Trump the morning of Jan. 6, 2021—mere hours before the MAGA mob attacked the Capitol, invaded their chamber, and threatened every member of Congress’s health and lives.

'Moderate' House Republicans folding like cheap tents for insurrectionist Jordan's speaker bid

There is no such thing as a “moderate” Republican.

Tim Miller at The Bulwark shows that there is no such such thing as a "moderate" Republican in the US House of Representatives.

The caucus, as of early Tuesday, is falling in line behind MAGA extremist Gym Jordan.

As Tim explains, it would take only 5 Republicans to vote against Jordan out of the 221 in the House. That's just 2.27% of House Republicans.

It's helpful to know that 18 House Republicans represent districts carried by Joe Biden. They need to be more afraid of being defeated in 2024 than they are of a weasel like Gym Jordan.

If you are represented by one of these 18, contact their offices in Washington (before 10 AM EDT Tuesday) and let them know you'll work and donate to defeat them if they vote to confirm a January 6th coup-plotter. Over a dozen are indeed from very blue states.

There are very few MAGA extremists worse than Gym Jordan in the House; I estimate they are in the high single digits.

In addition to those 18, if you have a GOP rep who's NOT a member of the "Freedom Caucus" it may be worth an attempt to poke their conscience if they haven't yet committed to Jordan.

EDIT: A group called the Republican Accountability Project released an anti-Jordan ad which few Democrats would probably disagree with.

BREAKING: In a 50-page lawsuit, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg just sued Jim Jordan. The lawsuit, according to the New York Times, says Jordan initiated a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the prosecution of Trump and accuses Jordan of intimidation.

Jim Jordan thought he could bully Bragg, but instead he’s getting his ass handed to him.

Study Confirms That Jim Jordan Is Statistically The Worst Republican In Congress | Farron Balanced

According to the results of a new study, Republican Representative Jim Jordan is not only one of the least effective Republicans in Congress, but he's actually one of the least effective members of the body as a whole. Jordan is so unsuccessful at getting his legislation passed that fewer than a handful of other Republicans scored worse. This is proof that Jordan is an absolute disaster as a Representative, as Farron Cousins explains.

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, one of Donald Trump's most stalwart defenders on Capitol Hill, said Friday that he couldn't comment on Trump's recent social media post stating that there could be "death" and "destruction" if he's indicted in New York.

NBC News' Sahil Kapur reported that he asked Jordan about his thoughts on Trump's warning, but Jordan said he hadn't seen the former president's Truth Social post. Kapur added that when he showed Jordan Trump's post, the Ohio congressman replied that he couldn't read it well without his glasses.

The former president took to his Twitter-esque website early Friday and said that if he's charged by the Manhattan district attorney's office, it would result in "potential death & destruction" and be "catastrophic for our Country."

It was the third time in recent days that Trump alluded to the possibility of political unrest and violence; he previously urged his base to "protest" and "take our nation back" and later mocked calls for his supporters to remain "peaceful."

Jordan, meanwhile, has a long history of going to bat for Trump and is one of three Republican committee chairmen who demanded documents and testimony from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg as Bragg's office appears to be getting closer to bringing criminal charges against Trump.

If Trump is indicted, the case will center on an illegal $130,000 hush-money payment that Trump's then-lawyer Michael Cohen made to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to several felony counts — including tax evasion, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations — related to the payment following a separate criminal investigation by the Manhattan US attorney's office.

Cohen said that he made the payment at Trump's direction. Trump has denied knowledge of the payment and denies the affair. He and his lawyers have also accused Bragg of trying to bring a politically motivated prosecution against the former president.

Earlier this week, Jordan and two other House Republicans sent Bragg a letter demanding that he testify about the ongoing investigation into Trump and calling the inquiry "an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority."

Bragg responded in a letter Thursday in which he rejected the GOP lawmakers' demands and described them as "an unprecedent inquiry into a pending local prosecution."

Jordan told NBC's Kapur on Friday that he's currently reviewing Bragg's letter.

Insider has reached out to a spokesperson for Jordan.

It's Halloween, the scariest day of the year. And what could be more horrifying than House Republicans? 😱

Who needs Jason, Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers, and a bus full of killer clowns when Capitol Hill has Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, Gym Jordan, Lauren Boebert, George "Kitara Ravache" Santos, and MAGA Mike Johnson?

Give yourself a treat today. If there's an election in your locality, vote early in the November 7th election (we're especially looking at you Virginia, Ohio, Mississippi, New Jersey, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana!).

Even if there's no election this autumn where you live, register to vote or check your registration status today.

I Will Vote

Voter registration is strictly related to geography. You must register at your new address every time you move – even if it's just across the street. Don't give a Republican zombie vote suppressor an excuse to take away your vote. 🧟
