Congratulations to Senator-Elect @Hickenlooper and the Indivisible groups of Colorado on unseating Cory Gardner!
Gardner’s silence on COVID relief and Trump’s attacks on mail-in voting was deafening. And the voters of Colorado heard @CardboardCoryCO's cowardice loud and clear.
.@SenatorHick SB1 would require increased disclosure of the unlimited dark-money campaign spending. https://t.co/Him0iKcylk McConnell has excoriated it as “an improper federal overreach into state prerogatives.” There is no way 10 GOP are going to vote for it. #FilibusterFriday
.@SenatorHick SB1 would institute new & necessary safeguards against foreign interference in elections. https://t.co/9eZgbeAVcm
McConnell has excoriated it as “a radical half-baked socialist proposal”. There is no way 10 Republicans are going to vote for it. #FilibusterFriday
@SenatorBennet .@SenatorHick “there is a very good chance that we will wind up under an extended period of minority rule in which the party that represents 45–46 percent of the country can have a majority of power in Washington" #FilibusterFriday https://t.co/7mEmCONTsC
.@SenatorBennet .@SenatorHick Doing away with the Senate filibuster would make anti-racist policies far easier to pass than they are today, and it would help dismantle both the legacy and machinery of Jim Crow. #FilibusterFriday https://t.co/Tn3RD8y918
Restoring democracy includes passing For the People Act; the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act; and the Protecting Our Democracy Act #EndTheFilibuster#FilibusterFriday#BeBoldChuck
NEW VIDEO📽️: We all know who's to blame for the deadly act of sedition at the capitol. When he couldn't get the courts to overturn an election he tried to rig, he tried to take the country by force. Republicans swore an oath.
Retweet if you agree they must #ConvictHim
A new report from The Lancet Commission on Public Policy and Health found that 40% of COVID-19 deaths in the United States could have been prevented. Thanks .@SenateGOP for allowing so many Americans to die. #ComplicitGOP https://t.co/4A4Y8F5BVA
It’s official! I’m running for Congress against Lauren Boebert.
We need a Congresswoman who understands that real toughness isn’t what you wear on your hip. Real toughness is what you get done for other people.

@SenatorBennet@SenatorHick The real effect would be to get Congress legislating again and to let voters hold lawmakers accountable for their actions, or inaction. https://t.co/n0OlFx3FHx #FilibusterFriday
@SenatorBennet Removal of the filibuster rule will force both parties to govern and then run on their records. This could lead to a moderating of the political process...https://t.co/ncZd0Ntxk9 #FilibusterFriday
"The US Senate is broken and the filibuster broke it." - @voxdotcom
The filibuster is inherently undemocratic and not required by the Constitution. Democrats can abolish it with a simple majority. We need to take away McConnell’s veto in order to succeed: https://t.co/ydcTXuCpBs
@SenatorBennet@SenatorHick DC residents have no say in who should serve as leadership for Fed. agencies, serve as U.S. Ambassadors, sit on federal court benches or serve in the U.S. Supreme Court. This is true even for the federal courts within DC's boundaries. #DCStatehood
@SenatorBennet@SenatorHick We agree! We need swift action on the climate emergency, but the GOP will use the filibuster to block legislation because they only care about their wealthy donors and leaving families out to dry. Dems need to end the filibuster now. #FilibusterFriday
There is no better alternative to eliminating the filibuster, and we’re not the only ones who think so. @BarackObama recently spoke out about the damage the filibuster has done, calling the rule a "Jim Crow relic" whose time had come. We must abolish it: https://t.co/yowsUe46H0
@SenatorHick@SenatorBennet In America, MoCs and Senators need to govern in our name and for our interests. We need to pass the "For the People Act" and DC statehood. Don’t let the Jim Crow filibuster stop us from delivering bold democracy reform. #FilibusterFriday
The American people are hungry for results. 41.5 million more people are represented by Senate Democrats. @ossoff you have a mandate to deliver. Don’t let the Jim Crow filibuster block those results. #FilibusterFriday

@SenatorBennet@SenatorHick DC has 712,000 residents, more than Vermont and Wyoming and comparable with other states including Delaware, Alaska, and several others. Please support DC Statehood (HR-51) #DCStatehood
