I'm not saying Ted Cruz is a neo-nazi sympathizer, but he literally just called a neo-nazi to sympathize.
Scoop: Ted Cruz called Steve King today and conveyed support amid blowback on the Iowa congressman, King tells me. Cruz camp says it was a “personal call.” The two have been friends and King co-chaired Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign.

My read: McConnell wants to block popular bills this congress - stuff like DC statehood and HR 1. He doesn't want to have the filibuster fight with that backdrop, so instead he's picking the fight on a boring-sounding procedure thing hoping it's more favorable ground for him.
Minority rights on legislation are key to the Senate. President Biden spent decades defending them. More than two dozen Senate Democrats backed them just four years ago.
This isn't complicated. Simply reaffirming that Democrats won't break the rules should not be a heavy lift.

Fun fact: nothing debated on stage tonight will become law if Democrats don't take the senate, and 3 candidates on stage declined to run for senate.

Here's what happened. Early this year,
@IndivisibleTeam
began arguing that our only shot at winning the midterms was to force public attention on GOP extremism. This wasn't a popular opinion, but we weren't alone. Some appreciation for the folks who fought for this strategy...

Mitch understands that if Dems take the Presidency, House, & Senate, they'll try to pass big reforms to democracy, environment, health care, gun violence prevention etc. He also knows he can kill all of it with the filibuster. So he's coming out strong for the filibuster now.

The Speaker of the House is actively and repeatedly blocking the Chair of the Judiciary Committee from moving forward on impeachment.
Jerry Nadler pushed to launch impeachment proceedings during a closed-door meeting after Mueller’s testimony today, only to be rebuffed by Pelosi, sources say

At the same time McConnell refuses to even DEBATE gun reform, he’s asking Dems for votes on his big Wall Street deregulation bill. Why why why why why would Dems give him the votes?

If Dems manage to take the Senate in 2020 (a big if), the first act has to be eliminating the filibuster and massive enfranchising democracy reform, including admitting new states like DC. It may be their last chance. Thread on that here:
Ok let's talk about why the filibuster must die. McConnell's diatribe against HR 1 shows the GOP will block everything if they can. Democracy, GND, M4A, gun regs - the next Dem president's agenda will be killed with 41 votes.
So how do Dems get to 60 votes? Let's dream a little:

How soon will the House pass DC statehood? How soon for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act? How soon for the For the People Act? Get on it. Get on it now. NOW.
