PREDICTION: Every single member of the GOP who screamed about how the trump campaign was spied on illegally will be SILENT about trump and Barr spying on Rep. Adam Schiff and his family.
60 votes were needed. Not a a single Republican voted for equal pay for women. Not one. Odd that Gillibrand missed the vote given this is one of her main issues.
I have a favor to ask folks. Can we get this trending with a few thousand retweets for our dear friend @fred_guttenberg? I know this would mean a lot to him.

Before we complain about Manchin/Sinema, we should organize to win in FL, OH, and WI.
That’s the focus point. Let’s win ‘22 so Manchin is not the power broker.
Call me old-fashioned, but I don't see why we need the consent of the party that's attacking voting rights in order to protect voting rights. Please explain, @Sen_JoeManchin.
What if influential Republicans arranged for House and Senate races to be hacked, but decided to leave out Trump? How would we ever find out? Democrats always concede without verifying their losses.
Dems: Please tell me why you're allowing Mitch McConnell to wield this much power. His party has neither the House, Senate or presidency. What are we doing here?
@Sen_JoeManchin Surprise us, Joe.
YOU have the power to help guarantee well-established voting rights for Americans.
Save democracy, Joe -- for the children.
@Sen_JoeManchin
Americans are watching you, Joe Manchin.
Americans love democracy more than money and power.
Vote in the interest of Americans, Joe. Kill the filibuster.
The US Chamber of Commerce joins in the Koch Network's efforts to craft state laws to favor corporations.
They receive substantial funding from the Koch Network.
Now they're passing through those funds to Sinema and Manchin.
Would you take that money?

The cost of riot gear for one officer is $9,000.
NYC Teachers get a $250 stipend for teaching supplies.
Budgets reveal moral priorities, and ours are invested in death.
@Sen_JoeManchin
People, American voters, are more important than money and power, Joe.
I have teenage children who know about voting rights, and they want YOU, Joe Manchin, to vote to preserve their right to vote.
Save democracy from fascism. Kill the filibuster.
The Koch network (Americans for Prosperity) has been lobbying hard against the For the People Act
Joe “I live in a yacht” Manchin didn’t compromise. He flat-out surrendered. Unilaterally disarmed.
And for what? Money and power.
It's stunning really. On October 1 2018, Trump basically says in public that he's blackmailing a Democratic Senator. And on October 5th and 6th Manchin is the sole Democrat who votes with Republicans to end debate, and to confirm Kavanaugh.

Choose Democracy, Joe. Please, for the sake of the children.
Under current laws, my children would be able to vote in the next presidential election.
Let's make sure they are eligible in 2024, Joe. Children's rights are in your hands.
Sen. Angus King to CNN on whether he's ready to kill the filibuster: "I'm very reluctant about it. But if it comes down to voting rights and the rights of Americans to go to the polls and select their leaders versus the filibuster, I will choose democracy."
@BayouOwl Dogs and cats both seem to l-o-v-e bear scat.
There's bound to be rules about packaging and selling bear scat as pet treats, or some bear would already be rich. ;-)
@BrunTheBear ?
Why do McDonald's, Walmart, and Amazon celebrate Pride month if they donate to politicians who voted against the Equality Act? That's because they're not celebrating Pride, they're exploiting it.
