BREAKING: The House just passed the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act.

PODA would prevent future aspiring despots from profiting off of the presidency, abusing the power of the pardon, impeding investigations, and more.

It would also block foreign interference into our elections.
To y’all saying this bill has a steep climb in the Senate, you’re right. But it can pass, as can voting rights.

When the people you elected to do a job, do the job you sent them there to do, it’s a good moment to celebrate and thank them.

TY, @SpeakerPelosi & @RepAdamSchiff!

A lot of people asking what's included in the new Freedom To Vote Act released by Senate Dems.

The bill has 3 sections:
▪️ Voter Access & Election Administration
▪️ Election Integrity
▪️ Civic Participation & Empowerment

I'll share the contents in this THREAD. Read & RT!

Freedom To Vote Act
Section One: Voter Access & Election Administration

These provisions aim to standardize ballot access across all 50 states to improve access to the ballot and boost the #FreedomToVote.

The victor in the Civil War wasn’t the ‘North’. It was the United States. We beat a violent, traitorous faction.

But that faction lived on through Jim Crow, the ‘Southern Strategy’, now MAGA…

The GOP, Fox & more are infected by the faction. The insurrection is ongoing.
The key tool being used by the faction now is the Big Lie.

They seek to limit access to the ballot box and institutionalize the ability of the faction’s current party - the GOP - to overturn election results.

They seek to defeat the US from the inside, but it’s the same war.
The goal is to rule from the minority. Their coalition is strong & disciplined and includes:

Fox, OAN, Sinclair, Daily Wire, Breitbart, White Evangelical churches, paramilitary groups, Federalist Society, Judicial Watch, Council for National Policy & the Republican Party & more.

Vaccination rates, by state.

Blue states went to Biden in 2020, red states went to Trump.

Pretty stark. A little thread...

Here I've outlined the states the states in green that put more money into the federal government than they get back (per capita). 🤔

This fucking huge news is getting buried.

The Senate is bucking the parliamentarian and will push the $15 minimum wage back into the COVID Relief bill.

Democrats ARE going to bat for the American people.

This is complicated, so let me do my best to explain.
/1
After the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that the $15 minimum wage was ineligible to be included in the reconciliation bill, the general consensus was that only @VP Harris could step in to overrule the judgement and keep $15 in the bill.

/2
Based on what I'm hearing from people familiar with the discussion within the Senate since the ruling came down, the consensus changed.

There is very little precedent for this type of situation.

Mitch McConnell’s rationale for acquittal - that the Senate doesn’t have jurisdiction - is bullshit.

The Senate has jurisdiction. They settled that matter on day 1.

This piece from @ReginaldOhLaw shreds McConnell’s argument. #ClearAndPresentDanger

Impeachment isn’t about removal.

It’s about assessing and voting on an official’s fitness for office.

The Senate’s role is to determine *fitness* and issue a *verdict*.

In a trial, there are verdicts and there are sentences. Two different things.

/2
The constitution defines a mandatory sentence for conviction in an impeachment proceeding: removal.

The fact that the mandatory sentence can’t be delivered to the official doesn’t negate the need for the verdict and assessment of fitness.

Because there are other sentences.
