Regrets, they've had a few (cont.) --
A Covid ICU patient at Baton Rouge General hospital - who’s unable to speak - signaled to her nurses this morning that she wanted to write something. They brought her a pen and paper.

Our Republican-wired, broken media --
If we didn’t have an incompetent and failing national political media, a number approaching 100,000 evacuees would be heralded as a massive success. https://t.co/Tfck21FAvj

Now that record numbers of people are being evaluated from Afghanistan and it’s gone relatively smoothly, media portrays it as sinister plan to shift narrative.

WH really ruining the media’s preferred script https://t.co/U0Rle59W8g
It’s really one of the most irresponsible cases of the press committing itself to a narrative and refusing to be budged by any subsequent developments that I’ve ever seen: https://t.co/9e7Y6unA2P

"Mentality" (Biden- bashing vets, take note) --
One has to step back and fully appreciate the mentality on display here, and among others urging the United States to betray Afghans who helped Americans: “How can we possibly tell the good and bad brown people apart? They’re all brown.” https://t.co/kHVGqNcAe2

John Lewis Voting Rights Act passes House, heads for Senate (drop the filibuster!) --
JUST IN: House passes the 'John Lewis Voting Rights Act'

The vote was 219-212. Zero Republicans voted for the measure. pic.twitter.com/GjEni7mhw7
The last Voting Rights Act-- the one gutted by John Roberts in Shelby County-- passed unanimously in one house, nearly so in the other. It was co-sponsored by Grassley and McConnell. Watch them filibuster the John Lewis VRA. See the rank and despicably racist hypocrisy in action.

Every single Republican voted against the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
