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.
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)
