UPDATE: Devastating news. This dangerous bill passed 213-212, with @RepAOC @RashidaTlaib and @JamaalBowmanNY abandoning their positions and voting "present" instead of against it, thus supporting giving cops more money and weapons to use against the most vulnerable people.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) May 20, 2021
of course, there's no chance they're not itching to give themselves better security, especially after they saw all the actual protests last year. i can't believe anyone's arguing against that.
Critical support for when the GOP filibusters this anyway.
doubt it'll happen. they want more security at the capitol. they're thinking about the possibility of leftist revolution too.
Disagree. House GOP voted 209-0 against this bill. Can't imagine the Senate GOP would let it fly.
it's all a show because the capitol riots were tied to trump and they don't want to lose voters. pretty sure it's gonna pass easy.
Yeah they'll make a show of it, not fillabuster, and will pass like 55-45 (with the never trumpers voting for it too)
