Attaching something this complex and misunderstood to an infrastructure bill is shortsighted and foolish. But that’s how we do things here the US.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

If the Senate gets this cryptocurrency provision wrong it will drive innovation and investment overseas away from the US - who wants that? At least take the time to get it right.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

Agreed.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

If and when Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations rise among the unvaccinated, don't pin that on President Biden or Dr. Fauci. The vaccines are readily available, the cost is free, and the message is clear to get doubled vaxxed.

If people refuse and get sick, that's on them.

@Lorrain22492203 Who?

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Don’t think the House Republicans who vote against the January 6 commission are confused or intimidated. They know what they’re doing. A commission wouldn’t be in the interest of the GOP because of what would be revealed. So they’re against it. Because for them party comes first.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Republicans held 33 hearings on Benghazi over two years but say it’s time to move on from Capitol attack after 4 months

Amazing how these Pharma execs act like they don’t know the numbers. Crooks & liars.

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️

[Glenn Kirschner @glennkirschner2]

The last thing Kevin McCarthy wants is for us to get to the bottom of what happened on Jan 6. This is no different than Trump firing Comey to “take the pressure off.” Birds of a feather . . . should be prosecuted together.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

Of course they do.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

Republicans who don't want a Congressional investigation of the January 6 insurrection don't want you to know the truth about that day. Sounds like they have something to hide.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

A healthy democracy makes it easier to vote, not harder. A healthy Senate votes to strengthen our democracy, not fight tooth and nail to sabotage it. A healthy country never forgets that one person, one vote is the sacred principle men and women have spilled blood and died for.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

I still am dumbfounded at the blatant attempts by R’s to suppress voting. Stay vigilant.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

TEXAS: Your voices are making a difference. Last night, many anti-voter bills failed, proving the power of collective advocacy to protect our freedom to vote, but we must keep speaking out to defend voting rights. Read below what you stopped and how to keep fighting: #txlege

#ExpelMTG

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

Imagine you had a coworker who spouts dangerous conspiracy theories, kept a loaded gun in their office, advocated for your colleagues to be killed, and stalked you down the hall harassing you.

Would you feel safe?

One of the reasons why I’m working to #ExpelMTG.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I guess we will have to have two definitions for “McCarthyism” in the dictionary of American politics. But luckily “based on a lie” can work for both entries.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

@elonmusk Oprah. Everyone in the audience gets a Tesla.

[Christine Pelosi @sfpelosi]

#Priorities: while the Republicans spent #100DaysOfBiden loudly weaponizing the situation, the #BidenHarris administration was quietly working: today the number of children in Border Patrol custody at the US-Mexico border has dropped 82% in the last month.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

Damn right. They must go. Period. Full stop.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

McConnell & Republicans can’t even clap for the positive impact of reducing child poverty? We must keep mobilizing the vote & make sure they never hold a majority again.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

Agreed. Refreshing.

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

The best part of last night? The President’s speech was not full of boastful lies.

[Scott M @ScottJoe]

Sane and decent. I like sane and decent.

[Jen 'now @jenrubin9' Rubin @JRubinBlogger]

Clinton-like in policy detail. Soaring rhetoric on democracy. Many pleas for bipartisanship. But mostly, it was a return to decency, normalcy, American values. One almost believes there is nothing America cannot do with a sane, patriotic POTUS.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

The evidence of our eyes met at last by accountability in the eyes of justice.
