President Biden/Biden Administration:

“Jim Crow in the 21st century is now a sinister combination of voter suppression and election subversion,” Biden says at the 10th anniversary of the dedication of the MLK Memorial. “They’re targeting not just voters of color…but every voter who doesn’t vote the way they want” pic.twitter.com/NEifQWXbas

The Redheaded Badass:

Let’s do facts instead. Under @POTUS, job growth is up 10x over the end of the Trump-McCarthy economy, UI claims are down 60%+, and 5m more people are back to work.
If @GOPLeader wanted to help our economy, he would support our bill to invest in ports, roads, bridges, and jobs. https://t.co/bXcRHkGzQS

From Yesterday:

"Ringing out across our nation's capital… is another scathing rebuke of the Republicans party from Liz Cheney, who used to be the third ranked Republican in the House before she was ousted from leadership for daring to criticize the disgraced… ex-president" – @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/HojnwS1X1s

Guess Who Acted the Ass at Yesterday’s Soiree?

61 fed & state courts have rejected every Big Lie claim of election fraud. So I asked Matt Gaetz: is there a single case where a court found fraud affecting the outcome of 2020? Nearly a year since Biden beat Trump by more than 7 million votes, Gaetz still can’t handle the truth. pic.twitter.com/9SG6Rd4JsQ

This is a bit different answer today than calling David Corn’s story “total bullshit”yesterday. Sounds like the story was right to me. pic.twitter.com/K9O3FI0tNg

The House of Representatives Will Vote on Cirrosis Steve’s Fate at 4PM ET/1PM PT

HAPPENING NOW: The U.S. House of Reps is expected to vote on whether to hold Steve Bannon, a former Trump aide, in contempt of Congress. Bannon has refused to comply with a subpoena by the committee investigating the Jan 6 Capitol insurrection. https://t.co/qDyljjmh9Y

Trump and his enablers are using the Big Lie to deny the horror of January 6 and prevent a full accounting of their efforts to undermine our democracy.

Failing to hold Steve Bannon and those who attacked our government accountable will enable them to do it again. pic.twitter.com/iAnkmNx0GA

Voting Rights/Voter Suppression:

“Schumer had tasked Manchin with brokering a compromise voting rights bill and then shopping it to Republicans in hopes of winning some bipartisan backing…Absolutely no Republican support emerged.” https://t.co/xtRrmUKhYY

Economy:

Latinas already made just 57 cents for every $1 white men earned. Then many had to wipe out their savings accounts to stay afloat during the pandemic. It's time to close the wealth gap. Latinas & their families need & deserve equal pay. #LatinaEqualPayDay https://t.co/y7Jm0c4XDh

Legislators want three counties to secede Maryland for West Virginia

If you guessed that these counties are loaded with wing nuts, pat yourself on the back:

All three counties are far more conservative than Maryland as a whole. President Biden won 65.3 percent of the vote in Maryland, and just 21 percent in Garrett County, 30 percent in Allegany and 38 percent in Washington County.
