The Speaker of the House supports the @repjohnlewis voting rights bill: speaker.gov/newsroom/11321…
…as does this @WhiteHouse: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
…but it will not pass unless all 50 Senate Democrats act to reform the filibuster.
The window is closing, @Sen_JoeManchin.

@repjohnlewis @WhiteHouse @Sen_JoeManchin "We cannot continue to allow the filibuster, an archaic Senate tradition — one that, historically, has been a favored tool of those who oppose civil rights — to be used to obstruct the advancement of this critical voting rights legislation."– @Sifill_LDF naacpldf.org/press-release/…
"Democrats need to be the grown-ups in the room, codifying voting rights and installing Supreme Court term limits before it’s too late."– @MollyJongFast newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/6183…
"if the filibuster is standing in the way of protecting our democracy then the filibuster isn’t working for our democracy." – @SenatorCarper delawareonline.com/story/opinion/… "if forced to choose between a Senate rule & democracy itself, I know where I will come down"–@SenAngusKing
