Andres Vinelli: It's very risky for Senators to vote against the relief package but they'll still vote along party lines.

Jeff Hauser: We didn't get the chance to fully appreciate the victory in GA because it was just hours later the attack on the Capitol took place, but Georgia was a major victory.

Matthew Chapman: I found it fascinating that the budget that passed incl provisions for raising the minimum wage. It would be a new sort of precedent, a new sort of tactic that hasn't been tried yet.

Bob Ney: We need science-based judgements on what to do, & we need to come to terms that test scores just aren't going to be what we want them to be this year.

Scott Dworkin: MTG should be arrested for inviting people to help in the insurrection. She was trying to incite violence.

@funder

@TheDemCoalition

Taylor Nichols, MD: I do worry about PTSD and lasting effects of stress after the pandemic.

@tnicholsmd

Brett Pransky: Good policy is welcome any time, but we're not going to sacrifice good policy for the buzzword of the day, like "unity."

@BrettPransky

Bob Ney: MTG should have handled things differently with her constituents.

Tyler Buchanan: We have another bill from the Ohio legislature, SB-22, that would allow the legislature to strike down health orders by committee if they don't like them.

@Tylerjoelb

Adam S. Cohen: That's how we end up with Trump & Trump wannabes & Jewish lasers from space.

@lawyers4goodgov

Sarah Burris: Joe Biden wants nothing to do with the House & MTG. He's got a pandemic to deal with. He's working on passing the COVID relief bill & the Domestic Production Act.

@SarahBurris

@RawStory

David Pepper: If we don't come in w/ a big enough relief package, people won't be able to take necessary precautions like staying home from work if workplace isn't safe.

Joshua Holland: One thing that's been extremely encouraging is that there are a lot of Obama alumni in the Biden administration.

Joshua Holland: MTG is a walking, talking advertisement for better public education.

@thenation

Jake Jacobs: Charter schools make up only 6% of the schools in the country. How can you have a formula that only addresses 6% and ignores 94% of the schools??

Bob Ney: The cloture vote is ridiculous. It should have been done away with YEARS ago. I love how the Republicans call it the "nuclear option." Get rid of cloture once & for all.
