Hypothetical: What if every male, US citizen between the ages of 18-34 were automatically registered for a lottery that required 1,000 ‘winners’ each month to adopt a foster child and raise them to the age of 18? And pay the birth mother’s medical expenses? And… #postRoeWorld

@QuinHillyer @thebruceyb @brianschatz The filibuster is not in the constitution and is not meaningless. It is designed to give the minority control of the majority’s agenda. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuste…

McConnell is threatening to filibuster the Organizing Resolution which allows Democrats to assume the committee Chair positions. It’s an absolutely unprecedented, wacky, counterproductive request. We won the Senate. We get the gavels.
