Tweet: Right now the filibuster is the only thing standing in the way of Democrats passing whatever radical, socialist agenda they want. "Free-everything," Green New Deal-style, debt-exploding bills are on the table. Every American should be watching what Senate Democrats do today.

Tweet: Democrats' plan to nuke the filibuster, a lazy shortcut to force through their socialist agenda, would have terrible long-term consequences for our country. All majorities are temporary, and Dems will eventually have to live with the reality they create.

Tweet: The filibuster is a critically important part of our government. It ensures 3 KEY things: 1. The majority of laws are bipartisan 2. Laws that impact Americans' lives aren't changing every few years 3. Americans w/ representatives in the minority party still have a voice in gov't

Tweet - "POTUS claimed that the filibuster has been "abused in a gigantic way." There have been *zero* filibusters this Congress. So he must be referring to last Congress? Or the one before that? Or the one before that? You know, during the 6 years when Dems filibustered GOP initiatives."

Tweet - "What's the first bill Dems would likely pass if they break the Senate filibuster rule? A bill to federalize elections, restrict states' rights, & eliminate protections for election integrity."

Tweet - "Dems loved the filibuster when they were in the minority, & it meant they could have a say in GOP bills. But just a few months into their new majority & they don't want to bother w/ bipartisanship. They want to do whatever they want, whenever they want it."

Tweet - "The page turns quickly in Washington. Less than four years ago, 26 current Democrat senators signed a letter in defense of the filibuster. Now Dems want to strip this protection from Republicans to advance bills that could never get bipartisan support."

Tweet - "Sens. Sinema & Manchin are standing by principle. Minority protections (which Dems used for years under a GOP majority) are a vital part of the Senate. Ending the filibuster would make it easier to pass their radical-left agenda but would come at a great cost to bipartisanship."

Tweet - "Still true (Special Character). The @SenateGOP majority had many opportunities to strip filibuster power from Democrats, but -- despite pressure from many & frustration for ourselves -- we protected the filibuster because we respect the U.S. Senate. Filibuster = more bipartisan bills & cooperation."
