POLITICO Why Mike Johnson is losing control of the House
Most Americans don't know about the power of discharge petitions in the US Congress.
The Speaker of the House controls what legislation comes to the floor. But a discharge petition has the power to force a bill to a vote. Under MAGA Mike Johnson, Democrats have forced their priorities
FIVE TIMES against his wishes.
They forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
They forced a vote on expanding Social Security payments.
And they forced a vote on defending union labor protections.
We can get our priorities passed by peeling off only a few Republicans. We only need 218 signatures, and on Tuesday of next week, we have the opportunity to flip a red seat blue, making it even easier to get our agenda passed.
Path to Progress is a no-holds-barred, youth-led multimedia organization working to advance progressive policy goals and hold politicians accountable through digestible digital content and groundbreaking policy proposals.
After the first month of Trump's second term, we became the first organization to call for his impeachment. Our petition demanding Congress begin impeachment proceedings has reached thousands of signatures. Trump's attack on birthright citizenship and subversion of Congress's powers are blatantly unconstitutional and constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. We're telling every Member of Congress: decorum can wait, but democracy can’t.
We are the only progressive think tank led by Gen Z for Gen Z.
Path to Progress will support candidates and policies which are both viable and, more importantly, friendly to Gen Z. We will produce content and publish policy proposals that show our frustration with systemic issues while encouraging actionable steps to increase youth voter turnout and ensure that election winners are as progressive as possible.
