I agree with this take…I think we would need to remove the filibuster to get anything done
there are more than 75 million American who are AOK with the GOP and Fox…so there is that too

Oh and we are likely screwed in the house in 2022…so Biden and the Dems need to act quick and get shit on the books
I could care less if they scream "they are ramming this through"


How do you know there are more than 75 million? Only 74.2 million voted for Trump, and some of those may not have loved him.

That’s stupid… if we cannot protect our congress from terrorists what the fuck are we doing? We spend hundreds of billions a year on defense and can’t even protect our own government?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Capitol Police ask that National Guard remain at Capitol for 2 more months, reflecting continued security concerns


Also, is Trump president again, wasn't sure of the chain of command at this point?

BREAKING: Capitol on lockdown due to an external security threat.

CRITICAL INCIDENT: USCP is responding to the North Barricade vehicle access point along Independence Avenue for reports someone rammed a vehicle into two USCP officers. A suspect is in custody. Both officers are injured. All three have been transported to the hospital.

a slightly different take:

"Several people familiar with the investigation identified the driver as Noah Green, who shared an apartment with his brother in Virginia. The brother said that Green, who was in his 20s, struggled with drug use and paranoia and that his family worried about his mental state.

Green was not known to either D.C. or Capitol police, according to authorities. “It does not appear to be terrorism-related,” acting D.C. police chief Robert J. Contee III told reporters."

I saw this yesterday and this is the finest lawyering I’ve ever seen. The finest.

I am a fan of abolishing the Filibuster so we can get voting rights acts laws passed..and really even that has me a little squirmish as the new congressional maps may really hurt dems, so we might need this power to stop the GOP in the future

I feel like we really don't need it for the 1/6 investigations.  It'd be great if we got the GOP on board, but they are clearly showing they will never be

but ultimately what is really stopping Dems from doing a televised Benghazi type committee hearings
nothing, so let's just let them kill it in the Senate, so we can say they looked the other way when there was an insurrection


I guess the one problem is, Team trump perfected the art of ignoring a congressional subpoena
But we need to get all the facts on record and all the evidence laid out
