Get the word out so people are sure to find out the name of their Democratic Senator who is running in 2024 and vote downballot. Kamala is not the only part of the plan to keep freedoms for Americans.

Cornyn and Thune cannot under any circumstances be the Senate Leader. They have told us precisely what they will do -

Hold us hostage to 60 votes on everything.

Tell me again about the Filibuster and why it's just sooooooooooooo hard to get rid of it. If it takes 51 for a lifetime appointment to SCOTUS - we do an awful lot for America with 51 votes.
