    It was great to catch up with my friend and ’ Chair to discuss the state of voting rights in our nation, Republican gerrymandering, and what we’re doing at to fight back.

    A graphic that says “Welcome to the Party with DNC Chair Jaime Harrison.” At the bottom is a photo of the Chair in a dark blue suit with cutouts of people who are holding up signs and megaphones and American flags. Next to that are a circle headshots of former Attorney General Eric Holder and VA Democrats Chair Susan Swecker with the words “former Attorney General Eric Holder and VA Democrats Chair Susan Swecker” underneath.

    It’s time to restore the Senate and have a government that is responsive to the needs of the people. The only way to accomplish this is by restructuring or eliminating the filibuster. Just do it.

    WISCONSIN: Looks like Republicans don’t want to be left out of the national GOP strategy of locking in previously gerrymandered supermajorities. The congressional map released yesterday is an absurd GOP gerrymander that was drawn behind closed doors and with zero public input.

    The would move power to the people and solidify a tenet of our democracy: fair elections. Afraid of the voters and fairness, Republicans for the THIRD time used the filibuster to prevent a vote on the measure - they want power more than a functioning democracy.

    The procedural vote to advance the to the Senate floor just wrapped. Despite Senate Dems’ hard work on a good faith compromise, Republicans once again refused to even *debate* the bill. Statement from AG :

    Senate Democrats made a promise to the American people to protect and defend voting rights—passing the is a necessary part of that promise. I urge Democrats-there will be no help from Republicans-to act swiftly and pass this necessary legislation. No excuses.

    “Our country is at a crossroads, and we must take a stance against the anti-democracy forces taking action both nationally and in the states.” — AG Congress must pass the to protect our elections and empower all Americans to have their voices heard.

    Colin Powell was the best of us. His was a life of consistent and consequential service. He will be remembered as a principled man who loved this nation and who fought for justice and for increased opportunity for all. My heart goes out to his wife, Alma, and to his entire family

    Virginia Commission has got to do better than adopting a Republican map. This is not what the citizens of Virginia voted for.

    Today, Virginia’s Redistricting Commission released a proposed congressional map based off of a map submitted by a Republican operative. Check out ⬇️ the GOP insider’s map and the Commission’s proposed map. Try again commissioners, this is not a map that reflects Virginia.

    “That’s all we’re asking for: an end to the antidemocratic and un-American practice of gerrymandering congressional districts . . . The fact is, gerrymandering has become a national scandal.” — President Ronald Reagan.

    The Texas Senate just passed a gerrymandered congressional map which eliminates all competitive districts and ignores census data. Congress must pass the to put the power back in the hands of the people. Statement from Attorney General ⬇️

    The passage of the Texas Senate’s congressional map is yet another blatantly partisan attempt to ignore demographic facts. GOP-led legislatures are attacking our representative democracy through rampant gerrymandering to hold onto power. Pass the Freedom to Vote Act.

    This periodic nonsense about raising the debt ceiling is non-productive, dangerous theater. The debt ceiling does absolutely nothing to rein in spending. Started about 100 years ago - not in the Constitution - it’s become useless. Pass a bill-get rid of it

    This is a real danger to our democracy. Republican gerrymandering means that bills not supported by the people (like the abortion ban in Texas) become law and majority rule becomes impossible. Demand a fair redistricting process.

    Right now, state legislatures across the country are setting new boundaries for state legislative and congressional districts. And in many states, Republicans are drawing maps that allow them to hold onto power.

    Oregon’s compromise map is just that—a compromise from both parties. Importantly, the map reflects the state’s diverse communities, preserves a competitive seat, and shows that public input was considered.
