Brief THREAD: OK, basics civics lesson to all these ignorant/dishonest R legislators/leaders/media folk who seem to have NO understanding of the law or the U.S. Constitution.

We cannot live in a world where Twitter\u2019s terms of service are more important than the terms in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

🔷 Rev. Raphael Warnock has become the first Democrat to win a Georgia Senate race in 20 years
The politician spoke to voters via MSNBC this morning
https://t.co/T9oJN2fjmo
Warnock is a pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where civil rights leader Martin Luther King once preached.
He will become Georgia's first Black senator
This blue victory gives the Democrats the chance to regain control of the Senate for at least the first two years of the Biden presidency
"With Biden proposing to reverse President Donald Trump's tax cut, increase the minimum wage, and strengthen oversight on various industries, some might argue that his agenda is not particularly market-friendly," says Vasu Menon, investment strategy director at OCBC Bank

The GOP got rid of the SCOTUS filibuster so they could jam through three fringy right-wing Alito clones, including one right before the election, but sure thing, bud.
“Uh, actually, they got rid of the SCOTUS filibuster because Harry Reid did it first for something totally different! I am very smart!”
No. Knock it off.
Here’s the thing about the “But Harry Reid...” excuse:
1. McConnell was holding up Obama nominees, some *for literal years* without a vote.
2. Had he *not* done that, Trump would have inherited *even more* vacant seats.
