In the news today: Texas Democrats were able to stall a racist bill again targeting voting rights in the state, but without federal action such victories will be short lived. After Senate Republicans refused, as “favor” to Sen. Mitch McConnell, to allow a special prove of the January 6 insurrection, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi intends to push a probe forward by other means. It’s the Senate filibuster that’s still allowing racist or seditionist Republicans to undermine voting rights and block probes of Trump-fueled violence. It has to go.
Here’s some of what you may have missed:
• ‘We need Congress,’ Texas Democrats say after staging walkout to block voter suppression bill
• McConnell’s cover-up of Republican complicity on Jan. 6 forces Pelosi’s hand on select committee
• Republicans rush to ban ‘critical race theory,’ but they keep dropping hints about the real goal
• It’s time for every pro-filibuster reform senator—and Biden—to do something about it
• Michael Flynn says Myanmar-styled coup ‘should’ happen here, then denies saying it

• Floridians are defying Ron DeSantis’s Jim Crow voter suppression law and it’s very inspiring
