Skirting Filibuster Fight for Months, Democrats Near a First
BattleIndivisibles,

Later today, the Senate is voting on a bill to create a bipartisan
commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. And
there’s a very real chance that the GOP will use the filibuster to block
it.

Here’s what happened: House Democrats acted in good faith and made
compromises to get Republicans on board with the January 6 commission
bill. But even after getting what they wanted, the vast majority of House
republicans still voted against the bill. 🙄

Now, it’s coming to a vote in the Senate, and despite having all those
things Republicans asked for, news reports suggest Mitch McConnell is
planning to refuse support and filibuster the bill. 👎

Let that sink in. Republicans got what they wanted and could still refuse
to support the January 6 commission.

This is just more proof that Republicans are negotiating in bad faith to
water down legislation and ultimately block our priorities. And as long as
the filibuster remains in Mitch McConnell’s toolbox, this won’t change.
The filibuster needs to go.

This isn’t just the January 6 commission that we’re talking about. It’s
all of our priorities. We thought Rachel Maddow put it well:

“They won’t even vote for the January 6th Commission. What are the odds
of them voting for the infrastructure bill? I’ll tell you, it’s
impossible to divide by zero, so don’t spend too much time trying to do
the actual math.” -- Rachel Maddow

This is what we’ve been saying since we released our newest Guide at the
beginning of the Biden administration: if Democrats assume that
Republicans are negotiating in good faith, we will waste time and
resources, and never be able to move any of our priorities forward. We
need to go big, and fast.

We don’t have time to waste. With a fleeting few months left to pass some
of the most ambitious bills of our lifetime, we need to act now to reform
our democracy and get our progressive priorities in place. That means
gearing up to abolish the filibuster and win major legislative fights
without waiting to let the Republicans try to trick us again and again.

If there’s one thing Indivisibles know how to do, it’s keep members of
Congress focused on what’s important. Right now, it’s crucial we use all
those skills to abolish the Jim Crow filibuster -- all our most important
plans are held up until we do. We’ve won before, and we know how to do it
again, so let’s get to work.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
