Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: "The Republicans are blocking me." There are 50 Democrats plus the VP. McConnell always used to say he didn't have enough votes.

Chrissy Stroop, Author of Empty the Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church @C_Stroop

Chrissy Stroop: It's a shame that there's almost no prospect of the Equality Act passing in the Senate & that Democrats aren't playing hardball, getting rid of the filibuster, to pass it.

@C_Stroop

David Pepper, former Chairman, Ohio Democratic Party @DavidPepper @OHDems

David Pepper: Trump will have carte blanche for anything he wants to do until someone else comes along who can get the vote out. Republicans don't have issues to offer.

Sarah Jane Glynn: The best way to get people out of poverty is to make sure they have money. It's not that complicated. The mechanism of how to distribute the money could be problematic.

Richard Ojeda: Let's hope Elizabeth McDonough likes working people. Republicans have no problem giving $ to corporations but when it comes to helping average Americans, we suddenly can't afford it.

Greg Palast: You can trace the Texas power outage to a dim bulb named George Bush. Both George Bushes, actually. George Bush started with deregulating the power industry.

Scott Paul, President of Alliance for American Manufacturing @ScottPaulAAM @KeepItMadeinUSA

Scott Paul: I don't know of a single congressional district that doesn't have a need for an upgraded bridge, road, or waterworks system--the needs are everywhere. There's a road map forward on this.

Bob: Trump is going to say at CPAC that he's the guy for 2024. If you look at the Trump enterprises, it may be an entirely different story. The Achilles' Heel is NY. Today was a huge loss for Trump b/c of his income taxes, & as a result, I think he'll have some problems.
