what kind of shithole country makes it easier to get a gun than a book

[Mac @GoodPoliticGuy]

Being a leftist is just constantly pushing for obvious solutions to problems while liberals virtue signal about them doing nothing substantive and conservatives pretend your unimplemented policies are the cause of the initial problems.

[Ann Marie Danimus for Congress @Vote4AnnMarie]

For years, my district has been led by Cathy McMorris Rodgers. She voted NO on impeachment and NO to establish the Jan 6 Committee. My name is Ann Marie Danimus and I’m running to defeat her and bring leadership back to WA-5. Can you help me by retweeting and following?

We will beat Rand Paul.
We will win.

@cnoppenb his second choice was also quite funny

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

There have been about 160 carve-outs to the filibuster. The idea that we simply can't make one more for voting rights is absurd.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Senate procedural rules aren’t going to matter if we lose our democracy. #EndTheFilibuster

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Since June of last year, 17 states have enacted 28 new laws that restrict voting access.

Let's be clear. If we are serious about calling ourselves a democracy, we must make it easier for people to vote – not harder.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Exactly.

Who gives a shit?

People are starving.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Last week, Senator Sinema claimed that the real threat to our democracy is “divisions.” Arizonans know better.

They know that divisions didn’t pass voter suppression laws in Arizona. Republicans did. Divisions didn’t try to overturn Arizona’s election results. Republicans did.

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

Manchin & Sinema are no moderates. They’ve embraced the 19th cen extremism of John C. Calhoun, who championed “minority rights” in the Senate to try to preserve slavery. They can side w/ extremists vs. democracy if they choose to, but no one should pretend they are moderates.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

The filibuster originated by accident. It's not in the Constitution. And it's been exploited relentlessly to perpetuate white supremacy.

A few politicians like to act like the filibuster question is some sort of moral dilemma.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

End it.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Senator Sinema voted to get rid of the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling last month.
