Senate Dems represent 43 MILLION more people than Senate GOP but 41 Republicans representing just 21% of country can block For the People Act supported by 68% of Americans

This anti-democratic system is exactly what HR1 intended to reform https://t.co/E8OzEAJJzI

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

We saw it in Georgia last night. We see it across the country.

A concerted, nationwide, and racist effort by Republican state legislatures to limit the right of American citizens to vote.

The #ForThePeople Act is a priority of this Congress to fight this and renew Democracy.

This is a scientific miracle: On March 11, 2020, #Covid19 was declared a pandemic. By March 12, 2021, one-third of Americans 65 years & older had been fully vaccinated.
For those of us still waiting, yes it feels slow. But this is extraordinary. Remember this. #ScienceRules

“The only reason you have these bills is because they lost,” said Bishop Reginald T. Jackson, who oversees all 534 A.M.E. churches in Georgia. “...[T]here is no other way you can describe this other than racism, and we just need to call it what it is.’’ https://t.co/9YkMTl5ra0

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

In 2017, Republicans' first bill was an unpopular tax cut that gave the top .1% an average of $250,000.

In 2021, Democrats' first bill was a popular relief plan that gave a typical working-class family thousands of dollars.

'22 midterms will be tough, but I'll take that message

[Indivisible Guide ❌👑 @IndivisibleTeam]

Republicans are reacting to recent defeats by trying to make a broken system even worse. We can stop them by passing the For the People Act (H.R. 1/S. 1), which targets voter suppression, gerrymandering, $ in politics, corruption & more. Contact your MoCs: https://t.co/Kj0M56rG7M

.@SenMikeShirkey, I was there with my colleagues as we put on gas masks & evacuated the House Chamber. I heard the gunshot that killed a woman. They came to kidnap and kill lawmakers. It wasn’t a hoax, it was life or death.

Treasury Sec. Yellen on the Covid Relief package: "The benefits of acting now and acting big will far outweigh the costs in the long run."

[Maddow Blog @MaddowBlog]

"We're a single shot ... And now we've produced data that say that our vaccine is highly effective, 85% effective against severe COVID, 100% effective against hospitalization or death," Mammen said.

The Johnson and Johnson data is fabulous. It may not be as effective as the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, but it's much easier to transport. It requires one dose. And no one in the study who had it ended up in the hospital with severe Covid. https://t.co/h6uL93uDSS

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

1. When I saw the J & J data last night the first thing I thought (because my brain is broken) was "Some Americans are going to trash this on Twitter"

One shot and it prevents hospitalizations? Stick it in my arm right now. I'll wait in line.

But there's a more important point.
