Alright, let's talk about the op-ed. And let's talk about what's next. /THREAD 
We've heard from SO MANY Indivisibles today with messages ranging from anger and despair to a renewed commitment to fight like hell for voting rights and the #ForThePeopleAct. We heard you. Now, we need you to hear us — because this fight is FAR from over.
First, @Sen_JoeManchin's op-ed is riddled with historical falsehoods and bizarre, antiquated political analysis. We don't need to get into that, but @RepMondaire did a perfect thread on it ICYMI.
.@realDonaldTrump and Republicans in Washington want you to think Democrats can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
But we’ve been fighting #ForThePeople since Day One.
The House-passed legislation piling up outside @SenateMajLdr McConnell’s office proves it.

@realDonaldTrump @senatemajldr The scores of bills we’ve passed aren’t busy work.
If passed into law, they will improve the lives of Americans across the country & build a better future for generations to come.
But the @SenateGOP has made the cynical decision to ignore it all.

Some key examples?
H.R. 7, the #PaycheckFairness Act, would ensure equal pay for women nationwide.
Meanwhile, the #ForThePeople Act would enact the most ambitious set of democracy reforms and ethics standards in a generation.

1/ Another ridiculous lie from @realDonaldTrump.
From day one, @HouseDemocrats have been focused on delivering on our promises to the American people. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” and refuses to even consider our bills.

2/ We have the receipts to back it up.
We passed #HR1, the For The People Act — the most ambitious set of ethics & election reforms in a generation. It gets big money out of politics, protects voting rights & strengthens ethics laws.

3/ We passed the #EqualityAct to ensure #LGBTQ Americans get the same legal protection as everyone else.
If our country continues at this rate, it will take 208 years for women to reach full equity.
But we don't need to wait. We can take action now to ensure women's equality in our lifetime. #WomensEqualityDay

There is no reason women should only make 80¢ for every dollar a man makes in our country—and that gap is worse for women of color.
The gender pay gap hurts families and our economy. Congress can help fix this by passing the #PaycheckFairness Act. #WomensEqualityDay

Maternal mortality rates in the U.S. are bad—especially for women of color—& getting worse, while life expectancy for women has dropped 4x what it has for men. We must address health inequality, invest in research, & expand access to affordable health care. #WomensEqualityDay
