Republicans kill bipartisan January 6 commission/ end the filibuster! --
It's time to give up on the theater of shaming Republicans. Dems will act alone to protect democracy, or it won't happen at at all. Republicans will not be partners.

Pro-insurrection Republicans are already claiming a 1/6 commission with an equal number of Dem and GOP nominees that has bipartisan majority support in both houses is somehow partisan and unfair, which indicates they’d lie about any report regardless, so just do it, bill or no.

If your opponent refusing to play fairly ensures you will lose, playing fairly makes you nothing but a loser.
Stop acting like willing losers.
Four months of the Democrats’ rare and precious time with a trifecta in government has already gone by. They just sought to get a non-reconciliation bill passed by caving to every one of the Republicans’ demands and saw it get filibustered by Republicans anyway.

What’s funny is that if the filibuster didn’t exist, the 1/6 commission would have gotten 10-15 Republican votes.

Like, Manchin gets that, right? This bill *would have been* bipartisan if the filibuster did not reward total obstructionism.
