@ericswalwell @donwinslow There are now five open Senate races in 2022 ā€” in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, Alabama, and Missouri ā€” because their 5 Republican Senators are retiring. Itā€™s a sign of an unhealthy political party that so many incumbents are quitting.

14 GOP Senators up in 2022: John Boozmanā€”AR Marco Rubioā€”FL Chuck Grassleyā€”IA Mike Crapoā€”ID Todd Youngā€”IN Jerry Moranā€”KS Rand Paulā€”KY John Kennedyā€”LA John Hoevenā€”ND James Lankfordā€”OK Tim Scottā€”SC John Thune ā€”SD Mike Leeā€”UT Ron Johnsonā€”WI #KnowTheirNames

ā€œDemocrats just passed the #AmericanRescuePlanā€¦ 85% of American households will receive a direct check of $1400 per person. 11 million people lifted out of povertyā€¦ The plan will reduce health insurance premiums for millions of Americans. Significantly.ā€

AG Merrick Garland to DOJ employees: "There [cannot] be one rule for Democrats and another for Republicans, one rule for friends and another for foes, one rule for the powerful and another for the powerless, one rule for the rich and another for the poor."

Attorney General Merrick Garland is at the Department of Justice.

The US did a very unusual thing when it voted out an aspiring autocrat despite huge obstacles (voter suppression, threats to officials, attempted coup, etc). But if the Dems do not abolish the filibuster and protect voting rights, the next US election will vote autocracy back in.

@Mikel_Jollett @AJentleson The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Americans that the filibuster needs to exist.

ā€œHR1 is sitting before the Senate. It expands voting rights, reforms campaign finance laws and limits partisan gerrymandering. It already passed the House and it deserves a vote in the Senate.ā€ @ewarren #HR1

ā€œHow un-American this whole [253 voter suppression bills in 43 states] initiative is. Itā€™s sickā€¦ The Republican voters I know find this despicableā€¦ This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.ā€ President Biden

Here's what Trump had to say on Fox tonight about the Capitol riots: "It was zero threat, right from the start... Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards... a lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out"

"The right to vote is preservative of all other rights. It is not just another issue alongside other issues. It is foundationalā€¦ No Senate rule should overrule the integrity of our democracy.ā€ ā€” Senator Raphael Warnock, maiden floor speech, 3/17/21

For The People Act prevents billionaires from buying elections ā€” and that is why it enjoys bipartisan support of 67% of American voters including 56% of Republican voters and 68% of Independent voters. #SaveDemocracy #ForThePeopleAct #HR1 #S1 @MeidasTouch

ā€œFrom the start it was zero threatā€¦ They went in; they shouldnā€™t have done it. Some of them went in and theyā€™re hugging and kissing the police and the guards.ā€ Donald Trump on January 6 insurrection Do you see ā€˜zero threatā€™ in the NYT Capitol Riot video?

ā€œThe Georgia legislation is built on a lie. There was NO widespread fraudā€¦ Politicians who didn't like the outcome are not changing policies to win more votes; they're changing rules to exclude more voters.ā€ Jen Psaki #PsakiBomb

Being alive while Black is exhausting. Take care of yourself and each other.

ā€œThe system is more powerful than any individual. The system in policing is doing exactly what itā€™s meant to do in America. That is to keep poor people in their placeā€¦ Itā€™s a system. Itā€™s not broken. Itā€™s working the way itā€™s designed to work.ā€@Trevornoah

@ifindkarma @Trevornoah āœ…We've had bodycam footage before. āœ…We've had citizen video before. āœ…We've had credible witnesses before. āŽWhat we've *not* had is FINALLY several good apples testifying against their own bad appleā€¦and we may not have gotten the #DerekChauvinVerdict without it #georgefloyd
