I want to thank everyone who voted today in support of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The House has acted — the Senate must join them and send this important bill, and the For the People Act, to my desk.

The only thing that holds Republicans together is their opposition to voting rights. Chaney and Kinzinger can support a 1/6 investigation, but not voting rights. That is a bridge too far for anyone in the GOP. https://t.co/s2J7yfuPSI

The vote in the House to reauthorize the VRA in 2006 was 396-33. That’s how much our political landscape has changed. Voting rights hasn’t moved. Partisan politics has. https://t.co/PeOYKqMNpc

BREAKING: Every single Republican in the House just voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. It passed with all Democratic votes. The bill would prevent voters from being discriminated against by state and local governments.

Yesterday, the House passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act that will help Americans everywhere make their voices heard. Now the Senate needs to follow the House’s lead. Call your Senators and ask them to do the right thing. Our democracy is on the line. https://t.co/QeADGFObbx

Good morning and Happy Hump Day to everyone EXCEPT for 212 House Republicans who voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Act -- that includes "good Republicans" Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Let me say this one more time. Vote for candidates that actually want you to turn out and vote.
