[VA House Democrats @VAHouseDems]

The fight to end gender discrimination continues today. Last year, the @VaHouseDems passed numerous pieces of legislation protecting women, including a measure promoting #equalpay, but we still need to codify the ban on workplace harassment.

[Ezra Levin @ezralevin]

Don't let this guy use the Jim Crow filibuster to veto wildly popular legislation.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

This afternoon, I’m joining Vice President Harris and members of Congress to celebrate the passage of the American Rescue Plan. Tune in. https://t.co/qBHFdRxqle

Analysis: Biden's vaccination goal sounds ambitious. It's actually pretty realistic. https://t.co/SnJWjhawxB

Congratulations, Madam Secretary.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The Senate will confirm Merrick Garland to serve as Attorney General today.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

The motion to adjourn failed. We are now debating the American Rescue Plan, with the votes on passage to come in a couple hours.

This was the final vote count on the motion to adjourn:

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

We just passed the #PROAct to strengthen labor protections, including the right to join a union and seek better pay, benefits, and working conditions. I voted YES; this was the final vote:

Coming up at 10:30am -- Florida Legislature is taking up a bill that would completely eliminate 100% of drop boxes for vote-by-mail ballots

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

It's 10 a.m. and 145 Republican colleagues voted yes to adjourn. If they don't want to work then they shouldn't be here.

The rest of us have serious work to do to get resources to our residents, schools and communities.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

Wait. Are you telling me every Republican Senator voted against critical relief that’s overwhelmingly supported by the American people? 🙃

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

The filibuster is the reason we can’t pass:

-Marijuana legalization
-Democracy reform
-DC statehood
-The Equality Act
-The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act
-A $15 minimum wage
-Gun safety reform
-Prescription drug reform
-Immigration reform

It is strangling our democracy.
