The @WhiteHouse is tweeting about infrastructure – not DC Statehood or the For the People Act.
No tweets by @POTUS @VP at all, yet.
If @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris believe our democracy is at risk from authoritarianism, pls act like it!
Use the bully pulpit & protect voting rights.

There’s the public statement of support from this @potus that I’d looked for earlier.
If our democracy is “in peril,” then this @whitehouse needs to rally all Americans to defend it based upon shared public facts, from debunking @potus45’s lies of fraud to changing Senate rules.

More presidential attention, but no deeper insight into how the President or Senator Majority Leader propose to overcome the filibuster that has sunk civil rights legislation in previous years.

Watching @cspan 2, where Senators are debating on whether to open debate on voting reform legislation..
c-span.org/event/?512831/…
@VP Harris is presiding, & would be a 51st vote if needed.

@VP Harris is presiding, & would be a 51st vote if needed.
@cspan @VP The Senate is now voting on whether to begin debate on #S1, an omnibus bill that would reform various aspects of elections, voting, & ethics in the USA: congress.gov/bill/117th-con… Relevant disclosure: I helped draft the Honest Ads Act, in Section 4201, & support this bill's passage.
Because the filibuster endures, 60 votes are needed to begin debate on #S1 in the US Senate.
It's now 42 yes to 37 no, but there has been no indication for weeks that there are 10 Republican votes for this bill, & it's a 50-50 Senate.
Loud laughter in the chamber just now.

That's it: 50-50, as expected.
@SenSchumer is making a statement from the floor, saying what we can see: state legislatures are passing laws that restrict voting rights justified by lies about a stolen election.
3 of 5 Republicans believe @POTUS45's lies:

@SenSchumer @POTUS45 .@SenSchumer said a voting rights bill will come up again, & the Senate will advance it.
"We going to explore every last one of our options. We have to. Voting rights are too fundamental."
"This voter suppression cannot stand."
But if the Senate doesn't change the rules, it will.

This @POTUS said the “fight is far from over” & that he would “have more to say on this next week.”whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
@TheJusticeDept @WhiteHouse & Congress need to use their powers to protect & defend voting rights & @civilrights, or our union of the People will not endure.
