[kpete]

NEWS: Very, very interesting letter from
@SenSchumer
. He is leaning into changing the Senate rules MUCH more than before. this is as far as Schumer has gone.

He says they will consider a rules change by Jan. 17.

Make no mistake: This week,
@SenateDems
will make clear what happened on January 6th is directly linked to the one-sided, partisan actions being taken by GOP-led state legislatures across the country. We can and must take strong action to stop this anti-democratic march.

1. This

Republicans rammed through whatever suited them. Logic? Reason? What's best for the country? Don't trouble them with 'trivialities'.
They're driven by power, dogma, and whatever's super-awesome for their campaign contributors. If common sense or the law is remotely on Democrats' side, f*ckin' DO IT! Republicans do not respond to vague threats. With this crew of them, they never will, so there's no point in even trying it. Just DO SHIT you're entitled (or not blatantly dis-entitled) to do. Action, action, action. Republicans may respond to that - maybe. They will never respond to weak threats or shame; empirically, there are no consequences to those things anymore.
