Our broken democracy --
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.“ - MLK

Talking with a lot of people who know Sinema quite well last year I got the same impression. She sees herself as a presidential contender who doesnt really need AZ or Dems anymore. Comical fantasy but possible to sustain with enough money folks blowing smoke up yr behind. https://t.co/yg19xiQWtn

Let me get this straight: 60-vote threshold was carved up 160 times so senators could pass Trump tax cuts, gas bill & Supreme Ct Justices but when it comes to voting rights, “traditions” & “comity” mean you hug it tight, throw the voters under the senate desks & go home? No way.

Our broken media --
No one in the media ever suggests that Republicans move to the center. No one ever said Trump should move to the center, or McConnell, or the damn Supreme Court. It is always incumbent upon Democrats. Also voting rights aren't "leftish." I mean this whole tweet is a mess. https://t.co/uj1IBoQYFD

it’s called “radical obstruction” but press is too timid to say so https://t.co/gHkLbOTVZZ

Our broken (Republican) Supreme Court --
The same premise as Gorsuch's idiotic question about why the OHSA didn't require the polio vaccine! To state this argument is to refute it, and yet it's pretty much the entire basis for the Republican majority's conclusion https://t.co/satMJ88Dcz

Uncritical racist theory: Youngkin's Virginia Republican Party busy reforming "education" into "edumacation" --
Virginia’s proposed social studies reform legislation is terrible for myriad reasons, but the assertion that the Lincoln-Douglas debates were between Lincoln and Frederick Douglass is a new level of historical inaccuracy. https://t.co/mVyBUetG5a
