The past 72 hours have shown exactly what the trumpist/magats values are (or rather aren't). Focus, resist, insist on keeping our democracy alive and well.
Alive? Maybe, but "well"? I'm pretty sure that train has left the station, it's barely on life support, and they will be cutting the funding for that soon.
Helen, you are correct. The bill failed because of the filibuster rule, it failed to receive the required 60 votes to move forward. However, the article is unclear on this.
Oh, thanks for clarifying that! I thought it was 52-47 against, meaning 5 or so Republicans voted against it. Too bad that none of them did the right thing.
Arrgggg. I’m flipping disgusted by those that voted in this administration. 2 years from now we democrats take charge of both houses and in 4 years Democrats will have to take charge of everything!
We must fight for the rights for everyone including the rights of immigrants who came to escape the oppression of their own country. Once immigrants are pushed out, farmers are going to start screaming because of the lack of labor, the cost of food is going to skyrocket. Then people are going to start screaming “I didn’t vote for this!”. Yes you did!
I loved watching and listening to him when he was Lt Gov during Trumps last term. Strokes change people personality and mindset. After my mom has one she became meaner and started cursing. I’m not sure what he’s doing/saying is part of that????
GOP And their fellow terrorists in the voting boots are not pro-life they are anti Woman and any woman who voted for tRUMP voted to imprison themselves thank you sir I’ll have another
Frustrating that 47 of them voted to pass it. In a country that does not prioritize maternal fetal health, they are so focused on taking away pregnant person's rights. Dangerous to be pregnant in the USA.
I agree with the assessment of the Republicans. I am heartened by the Democratic push. I EXPECT every Democrat to push, HARD, every single time the Republicans work to hurt the majority of Americans.
Attention Democrats in the House and Senate. Please always remember that Republicans have not and will not play nice. They have no interest in compromise. If you are ever in doubt about how to treat them just ask yourselves, what would Tony Soprano do??
Dear Congressional Dems:
DELAY.
DENY.
DEFEAT.
DESTROY.
EVERY REPUBLICAN PROPOSAL.
EVERY DAY AND EVERYWHERE.
The Four D’s. It will be a battle but one that must be fought.
Congrats to my fellow Democrats! Starting right off the gate with strategic plans to fight them all the way! Bravo!!!
Now stick to the messaging like Maggats do!🤬
Yeeeees!!!!
Yes!!!!!! We need to become the new party of no. Fuck all these republican as$holes. 😒👿

Any victory is a good one.
It would be nice to have the bill number, a more detailed description of what it proposes, and finally which Rs voted against it.
No Rs voted against it. It would have needed 8 Dems to advance (needs 60), and all Dems voted against.

Thanks
Yes. I definitely want to know which Rs voted against it…
NONE

I hope you are right
Don't just hope, get involved.
Amen, get involved, don’t leave positive change up to someone else.

It partly depends on whether they fight voter purges, provisional ballots, & other ways Republicans choose who gets to vote in states they control
Yes! Keep fighting for women’s rights!
I’ve said for years with fascist republicans cruelty is always their point.
It's a good beginning. Let's see if the Dems hold together. I have serious doubts about Fetterman, and Schumer has no spine.
Fetterman will be fine. He already said that any talk of him leaving the Democratic Party or going against Democrats is "BS."--Jason
For now. He was photographed with a J6 defendant. I reserve judgment on him.
Yes, I don't trust him at this point.
I don’t know what happened to him but I don’t like it. I don’t trust him at all.
Suuure. I see joe manchin 2.0 in him. 😒
Fetterman is definitely a disappointment.
He's a cynical creep who said whatever he had to say to get elected. Now he's bending with the prevailing winds.
I loved watching and listening to him when he was Lt Gov during Trumps last term. Strokes change people personality and mindset. After my mom has one she became meaner and started cursing. I’m not sure what he’s doing/saying is part of that????
I think he's a phony and always has been. He believes in nothing except himself.
Think you are right about those 2
GOP And their fellow terrorists in the voting boots are not pro-life they are anti Woman and any woman who voted for tRUMP voted to imprison themselves thank you sir I’ll have another
Totally agree
Frustrating that 47 of them voted to pass it. In a country that does not prioritize maternal fetal health, they are so focused on taking away pregnant person's rights. Dangerous to be pregnant in the USA.
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Thank you! 😊 Thank you! 👍🏼

Good trends for Dems since inauguration. Glad to see some of them taking off the gloves.
They’re going to need to keep them off. Expose these clowns for who they are. Make them offers they can’t refuse. Find dirt, and bring receipts. 😎🇺🇸
We need to keep up the wins big and small

It’s a good start. Now they have to stop the DEI restrictions that Chump just announced today.
