This is a five-alarm fire. I donβt think we have two years to plan and fight back. I think we have months.
Itβs a fundamental injustice.
Thanks to your pressure and support, many of my Democratic colleagues have joined my effort to do everything we can to make sure they cannot destroy democracy and steal your money in the dark of the night. We are being loud about what is happening. Iβm going to continue

Now, we knew that Republicans would largely unanimously oppose
