Fix Our Senate

WATCH: @SenWarren tells Stephen Colbert that if we want progress on voting rights, immigration, gun safety & climate change, then we must eliminate the filibuster and pass legislation by simple majority — as the crowd cheers! 👏🏽 👏🏿 👏🏾

Thank you @AllAboveAllAct for your partnership and leadership. It is high time for the Senate to act boldly for #AbortionJustice.

NEW: President Biden says he would support changing the filibuster rules to codify Roe v. Wade.

The racist shooting in Buffalo emphasizes why we must act immediately against the gun violence epidemic in this country. And yet, the filibuster is worsening this epidemic by blocking critical legislation. We must end the filibuster because #TheFilibusterIsKillingUs.

TODAY: Join us, and our partners @ultraviolet @womensmarch @moveon @ppact across the country to demand #BansOffOurBodies! Bansoff.org

We joined 40 reproductive rights, health, and justice organizations to demand the Senate stop defending the filibuster. The Senate can no longer allow the rotten structures of our democracy to block the will of the people. Eliminate the filibuster NOW. huffpost.com/entry/fix-our-…

Today, we are standing with leaders fighting for abortion access to state: Stop defending the filibuster in our name. It’s time to take on our broken institutions and fight for aboriton access with the full force that our communities deserve. fixoursenate.org/press/may-repr…

On this historic vote, the Senate’s failure to pass the Women Health Protection Act because of anti-abortion Senators is a sober reminder that the freedom to decide for ourselves is being aggressively stripped away. Our statement: fixoursenate.org/press/fix-our-…

We must remember the 17 senselessly killed in the Parkland mass shooting and call for action in their honor. Tonight, please join us for a vigil to honor the victims and survivors in Washington, D.C. and online. #WeRememberParkland RSVP: bit.ly/msdvigil2022

The filibuster is holding life-saving legislation hostage. We can’t save our democracy without eliminating it.

What defenders of the filibuster want is minority rule – and a government unable to deliver anything meaningful to its people theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

As @jonathanchait rightly points out, "Conservatives care far more about blocking Democratic bills than passing their own." They've also rigged the filibuster rules to pass their priorities — tax cuts and judges — with a simple majority. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

This is really good from @RepJayapal: Americans deserve to have a real debate about voting rights and protecting our democracy — no matter who is in power. It's time to end the filibuster.

In which @jbouie dismantles Joe Manchin's invocation of James Madison and the filibuster to justify blocking voting rights legislation and making the Senate work for regular Americans nytimes.com/2022/01/22/opi…

The filibuster now has three paths forward, @davidlitt writes, and all of them end, one way or another, in its demise. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Abolishing the filibuster won’t lead to a ‘tyranny of the majority’. It’s quite the opposite. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

.@SenWarren: “If you actually want to use the federal government to help make us build a better country, and you’re not just there to try to cut taxes and appoint extremist judges, then you need to get rid of the filibuster and go by majority rule” bostonglobe.com/2022/01/18/nat…

As the late Leader Reid said, it’s not a matter of if the filibuster will be eliminated, but when – and who is in charge when that happens. msnbc.com/opinion/harry-…

.@AJentleson: "There is no doubt in my mind that the first time it becomes convenient for Republicans... to get rid of the filibuster they will get rid of it without a moment's hesitation." #TheReidOut #reiders

The filibuster is living on borrowed time. Mitch McConnell wants you to think the fight is over. It’s not. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
