Who applied for the 1/6 rally permits?
Who paid for organized groups to travel to DC?
Who organized housing and other logistics?
Who determined the list of speakers?
Who coordinated social media for the event?
Someone has the answers.

[Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto]

I'm at the White House to join @POTUS as he signs my bipartisan COPS Counseling Act into law. I wrote this bill with @ChuckGrassley to get our law enforcement the mental health services they deserve. It will make a big difference to officers across the country.

Here's our story from Day 1 of ? of the #NVRedistricting special session, with details on Board of Regents maps, a fight over rules & deets on the GOP alternative maps. If you're lame enough to be on #nvleg twitter at 8 pm on a Friday, give it a read -->

@JudiciaryGOP @RepMcClintock Gee, ya' think they will be arriving in a "caravan?"

If any network cares, I've stopped watching most newscasts because:
1) of too much idle speculation;
2) too much speculation about someone else's speculation;
3) too much speculation about the speculation of someone else's speculation.

Ohio is the latest state to draw unfair maps, flying in the face of its own voters and state constitution. https://t.co/2JkgElnnaV

"The average annual cost of infant care in Nevada is $11,408, or $951 per month."

The #BuildBackBetter makes transformative investments in women and families, lowers child care costs for Nevadans, and boosts compensation for caregivers. https://t.co/TwdzHU8PHL

What's with media anchor desk chatterati's assumption the GQP will take control of the House in the midterms?

[Legal Defense Fund @NAACP_LDF]

@DemNevada @realTuckFrumper And attention?

[Desert Beacon @DesertBeacon]

No desire to nuke filibusters? Then perhaps require good old fashioned ones. If the GOP wants to block Everything, then make them actually do it; on their feet in the chamber. Otherwise they'll continue to stop legislation w/o having to explain exactly why.

[The Brookings Institution @BrookingsInst]

While Facebook has gone out of its way to deny that it contributes to extreme divisiveness, a growing body of research, as well as Facebook’s own actions and leaked documents, indicate that an important relationship exists. https://t.co/fWFE40Xfbh

"When you view your audience with thinly veiled contempt but still need something from them, the obvious approach is to embrace your inner H. L. Mencken and give the rubes exactly what you think they want, good and hard — which is exactly what both Heller and Vance are doing."

[Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto]

I'm proud to support the Women's Health Protection Act and reproductive freedom. #WHPA

[Congresswoman Susie Lee @RepSusieLee]

I just joined my House colleagues to protect and defend our reproductive rights. Now it’s time for the Senate to do the same.
