众议院共和党人本周将推动两项法案，迫使民主党人公开表态，阐明他们对本党社会主义思潮的立场。
众议院规则委员会周一会议上以无民主党议员投赞成票的结果通过了一项谴责社会主义的决议。事实上，民主党批评该决议纯属浪费时间。
马萨诸塞州联邦众议员吉姆·麦戈文（民主党）称该法案“毫无意义”，并认为它几乎无法改善美国民众的生活。
“所以你们是担心油价上涨，还是担心食品杂货价格飙升？放心吧，国会共和党人又要推出一项无约束力的决议，谴责社会主义了，”麦戈文说道。

科罗拉多州联邦众议员乔·内古斯（民主党）与众议院行政委员会主席布莱恩·斯泰尔（威斯康星州共和党）就社会主义的定义发生争执，一度引发紧张对峙。
内古斯曾追问斯泰尔，是否会将唐纳德·特朗普总统试图收购克罗格杂货店“20%股份”的行为视为社会主义，斯泰尔回应称他“需要了解细节”。
“哦，你需要了解细节，”两人互相打断发言时，内古斯提高音量说道，“你说过如果政府拥有杂货店，那就是社会主义。但如果唐纳德·特朗普宣布要收购一家杂货店的股权，你就会说‘我得好好看看细节’，因为我们都清楚这套说辞。”
斯泰尔表示，如果涉及国家安全考量，他愿意考虑此类提议，但多次强调内古斯提出的只是假设性问题。
规则委员会主席弗吉尼亚·福克斯（北卡罗来纳州共和党）曾一度斥责内古斯打断斯泰尔发言。
斯泰尔随即回击道：“你们党派的一些人希望由政府运营杂货店，我认为这太疯狂了。”
“那如果美国总统宣布美国政府将收购……杂货店的股权呢？”内古斯追问道。

经过多轮来回交锋，斯泰尔表示：“我认为此类行动需要有国家安全方面的理由。你提出的假设中没有这一点，我看不到任何国家安全相关的考量。”
内古斯称这是一个“有启发性的回答”，斯泰尔则打趣道：“这只是个假设。所以我们现在进入胡闹季了。”
据福克斯新闻数字频道获得的临时日程安排，针对该决议的全院“规则投票”将于周二下午举行，随后于周二晚间对决议本身进行投票。
社会主义思潮在民主党内部抬头，党领袖拒绝DSA议程：‘一群傻瓜’
众议院规则委员会的民主党人反对共和党提出的法案并非罕见之举。但此次举动尤为引人注目，因为共和党正利用左翼政党内部的内战——这场内战主导了中期选举周期——大做文章。
根据临时日程，共和党还将利用这场内战推动另一项有望于周三下午付诸表决的法案。该投票将针对一项将最高法院大法官人数上限设为9人的宪法修正案。
民主党参议员抨击共和党‘窃取’2016、2020年两个最高法院席位，呼吁扩容
包括前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯、马萨诸塞州联邦参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（民主党）和埃德·马基（民主党）在内的多位顶尖进步派人士，呼吁将最高法院大法官人数扩容至最多13人。
众议院共和党领导人已选择绕过众议院规则委员会快速推进该法案。但作为交换，该法案需要全院三分之二多数票才能通过，而非简单多数。
卡维尔痛斥DSA社会主义者：‘别用我们的上帝该死的名号’
“现在是民主党人选边站的时候了。别再装模作样走中间路线。为自己的立场感到自豪。你们当选是为了领导国家，那就拿出领导力来。表明立场。我们打算让你们公开表态，”密歇根州联邦众议员、众议院共和党会议主席莉萨·麦克莱恩对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。

“你是否支持最高法院扩容？问题很简单，是或否。仅此而已。第二点——你相信社会主义吗？如果相信，就应该大声说出来，堂堂正正地说出来。我个人不相信社会主义。我为我们拥有民主、共和体制和自由社会感到自豪。我很乐意公开表明自己的立场。”
与此同时，众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯周一回避了他是否支持反社会主义决议的问题。
“我还没看过这项决议，但据我了解，该决议将所谓的‘拯救美国法案’抬上了台面，而这其实就是‘压制选民法案’。我不清楚到底有多少民主党人会支持一项旨在通过推动这项选民压制法案来操纵中期选举的决议，过去一年唐纳德·特朗普一直在试图将这项法案强行推给美国民众，”他对记者说道。
约翰逊在推动‘拯救美国法案’绕过民主党反对的斗争中取得压倒性胜利
除谴责社会主义外，该决议还称赞共和党主导的选举安全法案是“常识性的选举诚信举措，包括公民身份核验、照片身份证明和数据库核查”。
该决议呼吁“落实”《保障美国选民资格法案》（SAVE法案），该法案已在众议院通过，但尚未在参议院进行审议。
民主党人普遍批评该立法企图压制选民投票。
宾夕法尼亚州联邦众议员玛丽·盖伊·斯坎伦（民主党）称该法案旨在“压制政治对手”。
“又要拿一个新的替罪羊吓唬民众，却不采取任何实际行动。不去真正解决问题，只是试图恐吓民众，”斯坎伦说道。
与此同时，纽约州联邦众议员尼克·兰沃西（共和党）指出，民主社会主义者已经在他所在的州掌权，并警告这种趋势可能蔓延至其他地区。

“我亲眼目睹了社会主义令人担忧的崛起……纽约西部的家庭目睹了奥尔巴尼的一党统治征收更多税赋、推出更多强制命令、加强政府管控，而辛勤工作的纳税人却要为此买单，”兰沃西说道。“如今在纽约州南部，我们目睹社会主义左翼从激进边缘群体逐渐跻身真正的政治权力核心。任何认为这些理念只会局限在纽约市的人，都将大失所望。”

House Republicans are teeing up a pair of bills this week to put Democrats on the record about where they stand on their party’s socialist insurgency.
The House Rules Committee just advanced a resolution to condemn socialism during its Monday meeting, with no Democrats voting in favor of moving it forward. Democrats, in fact, criticized the resolution as a waste of time.
Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., called the bill “nonsense” and argued it did little to better the lives of Americans.
“So you’re concerned about rising gas, or are you concerned about grocery prices? You know, don’t worry. Republicans in Congress are passing another non-binding resolution condemning socialism,” McGovern said.

Tensions erupted at one point as Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., clashed with Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., over the definition of socialism.
Neguse had attempted to press Steil on whether he would see President Donald Trump trying to take a “20% stake” in Kroger grocery stores as socialism, to which Steil replied he would “want to see the details.”
“Oh, you’d want to see the details,” Neguse yelled as the two men spoke over each other. “You said if the government owns grocery stores, that would be socialist. But if, of course, Donald Trump were to announce an equity stake in a grocery store, well, ‘I’d have to really see the details,’ because we all know the play.”
Steil said he would be open to seeing such a proposal if it had a national security imperative, but stated repeatedly that Neguse was posing a hypothetical.
At one point, Rules Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., chided Neguse for interrupting Steil.
Steil shot back at one point, “Some folks on your side of the aisle would like to have government-run grocery stores. I think that’s nuts.”
“And if the president of the United States announced that the United States government was taking an…equity stake in grocery stores?” Neguse pressed.

After more back-and-forth, Steil said, “I think there would need to be a national security rationale for the action. I don’t see any in your hypothetical. I don’t see a national security focus.”
Neguse called it a “helpful answer,” to which Steil quipped, “It’s a hypotherical. So we’re entering silly season.”
A House-wide test known as a “rule vote” on the resolution will take place on Tuesday afternoon, followed finally by a vote on the resolution itself on Tuesday evening, according to a provisional schedule obtained by Fox News Digital.
SOCIALISM SURGES AMONG DEMOCRATS AS PARTY LEADERS REJECT DSA AGENDA: ‘PACK OF FOOLS’
It’s not uncommon for Democrats on the House Rules Committee to oppose GOP-led measures. But the move is especially stark as Republicans seize on the left’s inter-party civil war that has dominated the midterm election cycle.
Republicans are capitalizing on that civil war with another measure expected for a vote on Wednesday afternoon, according to that provisional schedule. That vote will be on a constitutional amendment to cap the number of Supreme Court justices at nine.
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR CLAIMS GOP ‘STOLE’ TWO SCOTUS SEATS IN 2016, 2020, CALLS FOR EXPANSION
Several top progressives, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., have called for expanding the Supreme Court to up to 13 seats.
House GOP leaders have opted to fast-track that legislation past the House Rules Committee. In exchange, however, it will need two-thirds of the chamber to pass as opposed to a simple majority.
CARVILLE UNLOADS ON DSA SOCIALISTS: ‘DON’T USE OUR GOD—- NAME’
“It’s time for the Democrats to pick a side. Stop playing the middle. Be proud of who you are. You were elected to lead, so lead. Have an opinion. We intend to put you on record,” House GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain, R-Mich., told Fox News Digital.

“Do you want to pack the Supreme Court or not? It’s really simple. It’s a yes or no vote. It’s no bigger than that. Two — do you believe in socialism? If you do, you should say it loud and say it proud. I personally don’t believe in socialism. I like the fact that we have a democracy, that we a republic, that we have a free society. And I’m proud to put myself on record.”
Meanwhile the top Democrat, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., side-stepped a question on whether he supports the anti-socialism resolution on Monday.
“I haven’t taken a look at that resolution, although it’s my understanding that the resolution elevates the so-called SAVE America Act, which is just the ‘Suppress the Vote Act.’ And I’m not clear how many Democrats are actually gonna support a resolution whose focus is on trying to rig the midterm election by elevating this voter suppression legislation that Donald Trump has been trying to jam down the road to the American people for the last year,” he told reporters.
JOHNSON SCORES COMMANDING VICTORY IN FIGHT TO RAM SAVE AMERICA ACT THROUGH DEMOCRAT OPPOSITION
In addition to condemning socialism, the resolution also hails Republican-led election security bills as “common-sense election integrity measures, including proof of citizenship, photo identification, and database checks.”
It calls for the “enforcement” of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which has passed the House but has not been taken up in the Senate.
Democrats have largely panned that legislation as attempts at voter suppression.
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., said the bill was a bid to “silence political opponents.”

“Let’s scare people with yet another boogeyman and not do anything about it. Not really solve problems, just try to scare people,” Scanlon said.
Meanwhile, Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., pointed out that Democratic socialists were already in power in his own state and warned it could spread elsewhere.

“I’ve seen firsthand the alarming rise of socialism…families in western New York have watched one-party rule in Albany pile on more taxes, more mandates, more government control, while hardworking taxpayers are left to foot the bill,” Langworthy said. “And now downstate, we’ve watched the socialist left move more from the activist fringe into positions of real, serious political power. And anyone thinks that these ideas are going to stay confined in New York City is sadly mistaken.”
