Republicans are pushing a plan to overrule the Senate Parliamentarian & effectively kill the filibuster. @SenWhitehouse, @SenSchumer, & @SenAlexPadilla press the Presiding Officer to make clear Republicans are going nuclear. Democrats won't forget this.

The House of Representatives just sold out Americans to polluters in an attempt to sidestep the Clean Air Act and go after clean air protections granted to states.  Thank you @RepJimCosta for voting NO to this attack on our communities! #CleanerCars #CleanerTrucks

My friend faces a huge bill she doesn't owe because @dcwater won't go after the company that skipped its bill. When will you take action to stop this from happening to Washingtonians?  @CMCharlesAllen @MurielBowser @DCAttorneyGen

Sharing my story is really vulnerable, but I’m mad as hell that DC puts scofflaw developers over its people. This only a fraction of DC’s dereliction of duty in my story and many others. I’m still waiting for answers from @CMCharlesAllen @MurielBowser @DCAttorneyGen @DCWater
