@davidsirota This is Sinema patting McConnell on the back before she votes on the $15 minimum wage. Why would she do that if they weren't in talks? I think she's threatening Biden with turning Republican. What wouldn't Mitch give her for that? https://t.co/57309FtST4
Question: Given the overwhelming support of the reconciliation bill from the American people, why is it taking so long for Congress to pass this bill?

GAZETTE-MAIL EXCLUSIVE: @SenSanders says "We need every Democrat," calls for Manchin to support Build Back Better Bill. Read the op-ed 👉https://t.co/2PW3TbtvrF
We don't know who needs to hear this but the filibuster is an ahistorical relic that's been predominantly used to suppress voting rights legislation and advance the interests of a white minority. So yeah, the filibuster is actually incredibly racist.
Congress has the chance to reform our democracy and ensure that the president is not allowed to abuse pardon power or overstep his authority ever again. But first, Congress must eliminate the filibuster.

It’s not too late to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.
It’s not too late for Congress to eliminate the filibuster.
It’s not too late for accountability for the insurrection.
It’s not too late to protect our democracy.
Manchin is not just hurting West Virginians, he's hurting all of us, by defending an unconstitutional filibuster, undercutting President Biden's infrastructure bill, & demolishing the infrastructure of our democracy and of our daily lives. We need all of it, not just some of it.

Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9-11. Not Afghanistan. Not Iraq. Members of the Saudi gov helped coordinate, 14 of 19 hijackers were Saudi. Every president since Bush has known this, and every president since Bush has gushed their fealty to the Saudi Prince. Get whats happening here?
Time is running out to protect voting rights across America. We can and must get this done — but only if we end the filibuster.

Anyone who says we don't need to end the filibuster immediately & pass voting rights protections & living wages & have mass protests right now is a misleader, not a leader.
