“Zuckerberg testified last year before Congress that the company removes 94 percent of the hate speech it finds before a human reports it. But in internal documents … the company was removing less than 5 percent of all hate speech on Facebook.” https://t.co/2nCxEDmpCA — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan @AJentleson @ceburnacct lots of space on the eager-willing-unwilling spectrum; I don’t think it’s quite so binary. that said, it was definitely a wasted month and the climb down was inevitable. the left thought it could draw out Manchin/Sinema to make their demands public. worked on one, failed on other — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan @AJentleson @ceburnacct Is it possible she’d behave no differently on BBB if BIF was already law? Sure. Is it harder to see her walking away from BBB while BIF is held at gunpoint? Also yes — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan @AJentleson @ceburnacct I think this dynamic gets overanalyzed. KS is deeply invested in BIF becoming law and the left won’t allow that sans BBB deal. That’s the definition of leverage, even if nobody on the receiving end of that would admit it & even if she still plays hardball on BBB — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer compares the current struggle on voting legislation to the post-Civil War effort in the Senate to protect civil and voting rights, when the majority party (then the GOP) also faced unanimous opposition from the minority party. "That didn't stop the majority," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate vote on the Freedom To Vote Act breaks 50-50 along party lines. All Democrats are on board, all Republicans vote to filibuster. @SenSchumer changed his vote to "no" at the end to preserve his procedural option to bring up the bill again. Official tally: 49-51 — PolitiTweet.org

Our sources caution that talks remain fluid and nothing is final yet. But this is some very significant movement toward a passable Build Back Better bill, now that Democrats are making difficult calls on what gets cut and what’s eliminated. https://t.co/3nC5HbWL3h — PolitiTweet.org
