Horrific
Georgia House voter suppression bill includes massively undemocratic power grab giving GOP legislature control of state election board, allowing them to take over county election boards & stripping power from GOP sec of state after he stood up to Trump https://t.co/wn070q1yck

How about that?
New: President Biden says on ABC he wants the Senate to bring back the talking filibuster — the first time he’s endorsed reform: “It’s getting to the point where democracy is having a hard time functioning.”

Fmr. Senate Majority Leader Reid calls for killing the filibuster: "The country's better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. 60% is not a real democracy." https://t.co/PYGHq7x44b

The RNC’s lawyer confirmed today in the US Supreme Court that the GOP is “injured” electorally when there is not racial discrimination in voting.
