Our LiberalDemocracy

The values of Liberal Democracy are under attack- and this moment calls on us to fight back and defend our pursuit of a free, fair, and prosperous society.

The climate and ecological crisis is rapidly escalating. G7 spends fantasy amounts on fossil fuels as CO2 emissions are forecast for 2nd biggest annual rise ever.

This calls for steak-and-lobster-BBQ-celebration while jet planes perform aerobatics in the sky above the G7 resort!

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

I think it’s kind of an underrated fact that the animating forces right now on the right are 1) banning certain ideas from being taught 2) overturning elections.

.@SenKamalaHarris: Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested you open an investigation into anyone?

BARR: ..... ah .....

HARRIS: Seems like something you should be able to answer

BARR: I don't know .......

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Call me crazy but maybe the fact that the Republicans couldn't get 50 votes to repeal the ACA and Dems are struggling to get 50 votes on some major priorities means we don't need a super-majority requirment in the Senate to insure against wild policy swings?

they're still on this

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

A big congratulations and thank you to everyone - especially the indigenous peoples on the ground - who made this happen!
This is what people power looks like. Activism works. So act. #NoKXL

"I have also been reminded time and again that there is a job much better than being in Congress, and that’s being a former member of Congress."

@tomperriello makes the case to Joe Manchin that casting the right vote is worth losing your seat. https://t.co/an4VU8jzDM

I'm old enough to remember when "everyone" in DC said Keystone XL was a done deal.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

Charles Koch said he regretted being partisan and pledged to be bipartisan moving forward and is now spending his cash to pressure Joe Manchin to essentially block Biden's entire agenda.

I will not put out the fire until you find 10 arsonists to join the fire department

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

I cannot get over the fact that Joe Manchin says voting rights legislation must have “bipartisan” supermajority when Republicans brazenly changing the rules in the states to prevent Dems from ever winning another fair election. Total unilateral disarmament

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

OK, I’m now officially very anxious about climate legislation. I’ll admit I’m sensitive from the Obama climate abandonment, but I sense trouble.

We made a $184,854 TV buy with this ad on Fox News this week. Fox News just denied airing our ad. Retweet and get it out in every corner of the country.

Sen. Angus King to CNN on whether he's ready to kill the filibuster: "I'm very reluctant about it. But if it comes down to voting rights and the rights of Americans to go to the polls and select their leaders versus the filibuster, I will choose democracy."

[Ezra Levin @ezralevin]

I'm sorry but one bad op-ed will not get me to abandon the fight for democracy. If we lose, we lose, but we're not going down without a fight.

"The root cause of pandemics – the destruction of nature – is being ignored, scientists have warned."
