Is there ever a controversial bill that gets 15 Senate Democrats joining Republicans in order to make it a “bipartisan” event?
A complete list of who to vote out.

Every one of these names needs to be primaried. https://t.co/GOFvIhw2Jj

One silver lining is that this makes it much more likely that we can get rid of Murkowski in November. https://t.co/VkY5UcGmqE

After what happened at the Supreme Court on Thursday, all bets are off as far as this surviving legal challenges (assuming the bill passes in the House and is signed by President Biden).
This will be before scotus at some point, and it will fall.

We’ll see where it goes from here. Hopefully the Republicans don’t keep working to snatch defeat from the jaws of midterm victory in November.
