WATCH: “It’s easier to be a parent this morning. It’s easier to be a dad. It’s easier to tell your kids character matters.”

Ron Johnson is up for re-election in 2022 in a state that just elected a Democratic Governor, a Democratic Lt. Governor, a Democratic attorney general, a Democratic Senator, and a Democrat for president.
The reason the founders gave Senators six year terms is to give them some measure of relief from short term political pressures. In other words, to do the right thing in the next 48 hours.
Anyway, please enjoy this video from 2005 of Mitch McConnell extolling how the Senate is totally within its rights to invoke cloture with just a majority of votes and how the filibuster was used to block civil rights bills
One year ago, at this exact time, the reality was beginning to hit: @PeteButtigieg was going to shock the nation & win the Iowa Caucuses.
Happy anniversary of this amazing moment for #TeamPete and here’s to making “Infrastructure Week” into “Infrastructure Era."
Regular people don’t care whether we pass something with 51 or 60 votes. It’s a pandemic and the largest economic contraction in 90 years. We must ignore those who call anything a Republican proposes a compromise, and anything a Democrat proposes partisan. We have to deliver.
We didn’t hear a peep about the deficit from Republicans the last four years. Now they claim we can’t afford relief for struggling families.
Meanwhile, researchers announced today that 8 million people fell into poverty from June to December.
We can’t afford to think small.
This is a win for equality before the law. Transgender persons should not be prohibited from serving in the Armed Forces on the sole basis of being transgender.
