TARGET: Congress On October 3, 2023, MAGA Republicans, led by Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), ousted Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

To save themselves, and the country, so-called moderate House Republicans must replace McCarthy with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. - [Sign the petition: Child poverty has doubled. Restore the child tax credit.]( Sign the petition: Child poverty has doubled. Restore the child tax credit.
