Gotta love the Parliamentarian: [View all]

Senate Parliamentarian appreciation day! She BLOCKED GOP plans to sell off public lands, gut environmental protections, & force oil drillingâ€”these provisions now need 60 votes to pass & 4 Republicans said theyâ€™re voting no.

This is momentum.
Keep calling.
Keep fighting. ðŸŒ²ðŸ’ª
