@bryanbeharAt least two GOP senators actively & aggressively helped to incite an insurrection against their own government. And Joe Manchin wants to hold responsible... Neera Tanden for her mean one-liners.
View Tweet on TwitterManchin and Sinema have stated they won’t vote to get rid of the filibuster. So let’s suspend it instead on any measure designed to protect a constitutional right, such as the right to vote, especially where GOP majorities in states are suppressing such inalienable rights.
View Tweet on TwitterWe have President Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain in the hot seat tonight right at the top of #TheReidOut and I’ll ask him what the president plans to do about Joe Manchin’s shenanigans. See you at 7, and if there’s anything you’d like me to ask, go off in the comments!
View Tweet on TwitterIt’s important to understand that Manchin and Sinema don’t have to “end” the filibuster altogether, which they apparently don’t want to do. They can suspend it in cases of bills that expand democracy. This was done already for judges, justices, and presidential appointees. https://t.co/3i4Ikltc2O
