Let's keep up pressure to pass a voting rights law that makes it easy to vote, ends partisan gerrymandering, and stops the flood of dark money into elections. That, right there, would go a long way toward helping us keep our democracy.
It's less than 100 days until primary day, and the #VOTESAct is still stuck on Conference Committee.
MA voters want and deserve swift passage of expanded early voting, expanded vote-by-mail, and Election Day Registration! #mapoli
900,000 of our fellow Americans have died of COVID
And we'll likely have 1 million deaths by April
If everyone had gotten vaccinated and boosted as vaccines became available
300,000 Americans would likely still be with us
The loss is staggering. And so much of it, preventable
@SenatorRomney Looks to me like Republican states are deliberately trying to allow autocracy to take hold in America, and the voting rights bill is trying to stop that from happening. You know it is true. Are you going to do the right thing or not? You can make it bipartisan!
Our democracy depends on the right to vote and the right to have that vote counted. Nothing is more important—and definitely not the filibuster. If we need to change the Senate rules to defend our democracy, then we need to change the Senate rules.
WARNING: 2022 election will determine if American Democracy survives. It will show if dictatorship takes America. The GOP want 40 Dem seats. Our ONLY chance is a voter turn out SO MASSIVE WE KEEP HOUSE & SENATE. Vote Blue down all tickets! Demand #VotingRights!
This thread explains why Trump’s unique attempt to overthrow the 2020 election and seize the presidency would be the gravest crime against the United States in our 235 year history.
For DOJ not to investigate it thoroughly would be criminal in itself. AG Garland MUST ACT.
NOW
Senator Amy Klobuchar says the FIRST thing the Senate must do in 2022 is protect voting rights and pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
Retweet if you agree with @SenAmyKlobuchar! ✋
Almost a year ago, our democracy was violently attacked. And today, democracy is under attack again. 19 states have passed bills trying to make it harder to vote. Next year, more states are going to try. Passing the Freedom to Vote Act cannot wait.
John Lewis didn’t get bludgeoned on a bridge in my hometown 56 years ago so that our Senators could sit idly by as state after state moves to roll back the right to vote.
Enough of the talk. Pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and pass it NOW.
Protecting Americans' voting rights against a rising tide of authoritarianism is just as important as raising the debt ceiling.
I urge senators to extend the filibuster exception to majority votes on the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
BOOM! Adam Schiff says if Mark Meadows will not cooperate, he will be subject to criminal contempt.
Retweet to thank @RepAdamSchiff for remaining STRONG and to URGE the January 6th Committee to refer charges!
Reminder: Fed voting rights protections still haven’t been passed. States have already passed restrictions & racially gerrymandered maps. Ppl r already campaigning in these new districts. Early voting in some states starts as soon as Feb. Time to save democracy is slipping away.
BREAKING: Senator Amy Klobuchar URGES the Senate to pass the Women's Health Protection Act to write Roe v. Wade into law as soon as possible.
Raise your hand if you agree with Senator @amyklobuchar! 🤚
