In February 2020, just 2 years ago, 52 of 53 Republican senators voted to allow (then) President Trump to block congressionally authorized sale of critical military supplies to the courageous President Zelensky of Ukraine, unless Ukraine manufactured anti-Democratic propaganda.

Judge Jackson has 8.9 years of prior judicial experience. That’s more than four current Justices (Thomas, Roberts, Kagan, & Barrett) had *combined.*

It's also more than 4 of the last 10 Justices had at their confirmations; 9 of the last 17; and 43 of the 58 appointed since 1900:

Just remember if Trump had won re-election, we would be siding with Putin and Xi right now, and looking the other way during this massacre.

Elections have consequences. ALL - be prepared to vote in November! Keep America a democracy 🇺🇸

Thinking of all my friends in Myanmar tonight. The future does not belong to a military that shoots its own people. The young people who’ve protested will ultimately determine their country’s future

Georgia House Republicans just introduced a bill to ban early voting on Sundays prior to election, when Black churches do Souls to the Polls get out the vote drives

One Texas woman is granted permission to vacation in Mexico after engaging in insurrection at the Capitol.

Another was deported to Mexico after being a cooperative FBI witness to the massacre in El Paso.

Here’s what I think:

1. I want to do a bipartisan deal and we should try. But not one that is so small it doesn’t fix anything.

2. When Rs tried to repeal the ACA and pass tax cuts with 50 votes, they made zero effort to do it with Democrats. None.

The longest filibuster in history belongs to South Carolina's Strom Thurmond, who spoke for more than 24 hours.

He was trying to prevent the Civil Rights Act of 1957 from passing.

The filibuster is a relic of Jim Crow. It’s undemocratic, and it needs to go.
