Why can't the Dems vote 51-50 to require a "talking filibuster" on the 1/6 commission? That way, GOPs on the floor--sleeping on cots where the Natl Guard just did--will have to explain around the clock to the Capitol Police why they are betraying the very people protecting them.

It’s important to understand that Manchin and Sinema don’t have to “end” the filibuster altogether, which they apparently don’t want to do. They can suspend it in cases of bills that expand democracy. This was done already for judges, justices, and presidential appointees. https://t.co/3i4Ikltc2O

The man is a seditionist. Full stop. He can never be allowed to go on TV again without being asked these same questions about the Big Lie. This one, we can't "let go" and "agree to disagree." They must acknowledge the election. I'll be on MSNBC momentarily to expand on this. https://t.co/Sqh8SV0YVH

In 1966, my late parents held a small fundraiser at our Chicago home for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Total take: about $1,000). He gave a short, intimate version of his "I Have a Dream" speech in our living room. I was 8-years-old and got his autograph. It helped shape my life.
