Former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid earned a farewell Saturday befitting the man who rose from abject poverty in tiny Searchlight and went on to grace the hallways of Congress.
A final goodbye for Nevada’s longtime champion, Harry Reid https://t.co/aI7rqyJUDJ
A champion in every sense of the word.
From Searchlight, to the boxing ring, to the US Senate — Senator Harry Reid was a fighter.
We honor a dear friend and tireless advocate for families in Nevada and nationwide.
Today we mourn, tomorrow we continue his legacy.
Let’s be clear: We must pass the voting rights bills now before the Senate. And the American people must also do something more. We cannot sit on the sidelines. We must unite in defense of our democracy.
$768 billion for defense just passed without a word. Bipartisan. $30 billion more than Pentagon asked for. Comes to $8 trillion over 10 years.
"Build back better" -- pre-K, childcare, paid leave, and climate -- would cost $1.75 trillion over 10 years. But nearly dead.
Why?
Joe Manchin had a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver for the people of West Virginia.
Instead, he squandered it in favor of coronations and the wealthy.

The Supreme Court's ruling allowing the dangerous abortion ban in Texas to stand sets an alarming precedent for restricting women’s rights. We need to pass the Women's Health Protection Act now.

I feel like we're at the point where there's no risk of hyperbole when talking about the threat to democracy posed by Trump's Republican Party.
This is nation-ending stuff we're dealing with here and folks better wake up soon.
I'll do my part. Think about what yours is.
Why would we leave abortion rights at the mercy of a radical, right-wing court?
Take abortion out of the Supreme Court’s hands.
Eliminate the filibuster.
Codify Roe v. Wade.
Guarantee abortion rights.
Now.
The right wants to blame inflation on Biden.
Do you know what they never want to talk about?
The deeper structural driver of inflation:
The concentration of the American economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to raise prices.
