@BarbMcQuade You look fab. I too had the honor and pleasure of working with Gen Powell when I was GC of the Army. — PolitiTweet.org

But this is not the Democrats' bill. It is Manchin's bipartisan bill for which is Republican co-sponsor didn't even vote. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeweledSkye @Fubarahh @ProjectLincoln 1. I seldom mention anything about him and almost never RT him 2. Some things even his cult (at least the ones on the fringe) will be repulsed by and those, like this, are worth noting. 3. But generally I agree he should be ignored and @POTUS @JoeBiden noted for the good he does. — PolitiTweet.org

If you think women are the only victims of sexual harrassment/assault in the workplace, you must listen to this episode of @iGenPolitics_. Vaughn Feighan braved the consequences of suing for this. LISTEN: https://t.co/ZydxYNZIkN WATCH: https://t.co/kyw96Pnkkj — PolitiTweet.org

10/I hope we carve out voting rights from the filibuster rule and stop 24% of America's population from blocking action wanted by the other 76%. I want Congress to pass voting rights protections now, including prevention of votes not being counted. https://t.co/Zb6qDkdGkl — PolitiTweet.org

9/"Unless Manchin & Sinema relent in their exaltation of a Senate procedural rule above the civil rights of all Americans, voting reform will remain unattainable until 2022 or 2024, at the earliest." — PolitiTweet.org

8/"When that victory will be achieved is uncertain, but that it will be achieved is beyond doubt. He concludes w the hope "that today’s loss will convince Manchin and Sinema to support a carve-out in the filibuster rule for voting rights" though he doubts that it will & notes... — PolitiTweet.org

7/"Senators Manchin and Sinema no longer have a good faith basis for defending the filibuster. Although the loss may not change their minds, the repeated display of depravity by Senate Republicans will change the hearts and minds of enough Americans to propel us to victory." — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

6/"So, too, with today’s defeat of the motion to debate the Freedom to Vote Act. There is no longer any room for debate over whether “moderate” or “good” Republicans will support democracy. They will not. Today’s vote made that fact plain for all to see. — PolitiTweet.org

5/"In the process of being arrested and beaten for seeking a seat at lunch counter or on a bus, the civil rights advocates changed the hearts and minds of the American people. That change was the foundation for the greatest advance in civil rights in a century. — PolitiTweet.org

4/"The point of the futile vote was to expose the anti-democratic core of the Republican Party—just as civil rights advocates in the 1960s engaged in acts of civil disobedience to expose the evil of Jim Crow laws. — PolitiTweet.org

3/It forced Republicans to take a stand on voting rights and admit that the existence of their party is dependent on voter suppression. Though the result is disappointing for Democrats, he said, "the loss was strategic." Senator Schumer knew that the vote would fail, but that — PolitiTweet.org

2/Today's newletter was about why Schumer was right to call the losing procedural on allowing debate on the merits of the Freedom to Vote Act, not even on its substance. Forcing all Senate Republicans to vote against it, he said it was a necessary loss... — PolitiTweet.org

It is not normal for a former president to be under so many criminal investigations and indictments (his business indicted in NY). It is obvious that his property cannot be worth $50 million to impress his voters and $1.4 so he pays less taxes than the average homeowner near him. — PolitiTweet.org
