Now, the filibuster is being used by the @SenateGOP to prevent: ✅Meaningful action on climate change ✅Voting rights legislation ✅LGBTQ+ protections ✅Steps to curb gun violence ✅Immigration reform And so much more. 3/

For the first time in American history, behind the President when he speaks, will be two women: a woman vice president, and woman speaker of the House—also the first time that women are first and second in the presidential line of succession—and it’s about time! https://t.co/rZ1rSWDore
