Politician
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "This Monday, I got a chance to meet with and volunteer alongside some resettled Afghan refugees, @USAmbUN , and @LIRSorg . In my role on the Intel Committee and personally, it's important to me to support all the resettlement efforts across Virginia."
Sen. Mark Warner
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: One year after Pres. Biden promised to heal & unite America, top Democrats are trying to use fear & anger to smash the Senate. They want to silence millions of Americans' voices and strip entire states of any say in government. All to set up a partisan rewrite of election law.
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2022
Nearly Every Democrat Tried to "Shatter the Soul of the Senate for Short-Term Power"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2022
"Just the Kind of Shortsighted Power Grab this Body Was Built to Stop"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2022
Klobuchar, Bipartisan Group of Colleagues Debrief with President Biden Following Trip to Ukraine
Sen. Amy Klobuchar
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: The left's fake panic over voting is collapsing. Less than 0.5% of Americans say this is a top priority. Even the media is pointing out that Georgia's law is more open than Delaware or New York. And more citizens say voting laws are too loose than say they are too restrictive.
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: Sadly, many Republican lawmakers would rather repeat the twice impeached former President's "Big Lie' than face his wrath. And tonight, Senate Republicans used the filibuster once again to kill legislation that would protect Americans' right to participate in our democracy.
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: The Republican-led attacks on voting rights and the fair administration of our elections are shaking the pillars of our democracy. Without federal action to combat this threat, the credibility of our elections and the peaceful transfer of power are at stake.
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022

Bennet, Hickenlooper Cheer Nina Wang's Nomination to Serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado
Sen. Michael Bennet, ...
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: Senator McConnell has no appetite for substantive debate. If he really believes that there is no evidence of voter suppression in the actions of nearly 20 states across the nation, then he would feel comfortable defending that position on the Senate floor.
Sen. Dick Durbin

LaHood Statement on One Year of Joe Biden's Presidency
Rep. Darin LaHood
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: The vast majority of Republicans refuse to join Democrats in protecting voting rights for one simple reason: Donald Trump sets their agenda and dissenters pay a price. Endorse the Big Lie or endure his fury, that is their choice. And it is shaking the pillars of our democracy.
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "When I first got to the Senate, I thought you had to talk to filibuster a bill. But that's not the case. You can do it without even appearing on the Senate floor. It's time to make anyone who opposes voting rights legislation explain why on the floor."
Sen. Mark Warner
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: In 2006, the Senate voted 98-0 to reauthorize and strengthen the Voting Rights Act. 16 current Senate Republicans voted yes. It wasn't a federal takeover of elections then, and it isn't now. But the Big Lie stands in the way, consuming what was once the Party of Lincoln.
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022
Letter to Dr. Janet Woodcock, Acting Commissioner of the FDA - Comer Presses FDA on Delays for COVID-19 Treatments
Rep. Jamie Comer, ...
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: Tonight, nearly every Senate Democrat wrote in permanent ink that they would shatter the soul of the Senate for short-term power. Fortunately, a bipartisan majority saved the Senate and ensured that millions and millions of Americans' voices will not be silenced.
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2022

HYDE-SMITH REITERATES OPPOSITION TO DEMOCRATS' ELECTION TAKEOVER BILL
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: The Big Lie has paved the way for a naked attempt by partisan legislators to re-write the rules of our elections to make it harder to vote Our voting rights bills can put a stop to it NOW But if the GOP blocks this vote--we must change the rules of the Senate to pass these bills
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "If it's the filibuster or democracy, I'll choose our democracy. We absolutely need to pass voting rights protections in the Senate--and we need to restore the Senate so that it is accountable to the people it represents."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 19, 2022

Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "Election Day should be a holiday. The Freedom to Vote Act would make that happen. Let's get it done."
Sen. Mark Warner
Jan. 19, 2022

Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 19, 2022
After Senate Minority Blocks Voting Rights Protections, King Prepares to Put Democracy Over Filibuster
Sen. Angus King
Jan. 19, 2022
