In a new letter to colleagues, @SenSchumer leans in more aggressively than ever to changing filibuster rules to allow a vote on new voting/election laws. Goal is to "save our democracy," he says, adding that the Senate will consider a rule change "on or before" MLK Day, 1/17. https://t.co/breoU8ct0p — PolitiTweet.org

He is the leader of the Republican Party and its likely presidential nominee in 2024. Ignoring him is not an option for journalists (nor would it have the impact some voters desire of making him disappear). That said, we should fact check and contextualize his false claims. — PolitiTweet.org

A classic Harry Reid moment. In 2015, he said IA and NH shouldn’t vote first because they’re small and don’t reflect the demographics of the US (an obvious play to elevate his home state of Nevada). When Granite Staters demanded he retract, this was Reid’s “apology”: https://t.co/dnNz4CEMSH — PolitiTweet.org

@SopanDeb it’s ironic because culture writers have real opportunities to reach people and wield influence. telling people sans evidence that your provocative opinion is now CW is an odd way to go about it.
