I'm partying ALL NIGHT.
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies to get #DemocracyWins trending on Twitter so we can celebrate properly?
Please and thank you! 🙏 💪
President @JoeBiden: "In America, if you lose, you accept the results. You follow the Constitution. You try again. You don't call facts 'fake' and try to bring down the American experiment just because you're unhappy."
We've done it before, and we're doing it again. My Democratic colleagues at the #txlege and I will do whatever it takes to kill the Texas #votersuppression bill. We are breaking quorum and heading to our nation's capitol to demand Congress to pass the #ForthePeopleAct.
These courageous public servants have put it all on the line for our democracy & the right to vote.
They’ve left their families, their jobs, their homes back in Texas so that we have a shot at passing voting rights in DC.

Texas Democrats could have gone anywhere to deny Texas House Republicans the quorum they need to pass their voter suppression bill, but they went to Washington because the For The People Act is the only way to solve this problem and backstop voting rights at the federal level.
The filibuster is not a law. It’s not in the Constitution. It’s a tradition that’s been misused throughout history to deny civil and voting rights.
Our constitutional rights ought not be subject to the filibuster.
