Pennsylvania Republicans are taking a page from Donald Trump's anti-democracy playbook. GOP Leader @JakeCorman is refusing to seat Dem @SenatorBrewster who won his November election. We're not going to let them get away with trampling over the will of the voters.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (@AP) _ A day before Pennsylvania state lawmakers will be sworn in for a new two-year session, state Senate Democrats said Monday that the Republican majority will object to letting one of their members take his seat for a fourth term.

.@JessicaPost on why state legislative elections are critical this year: "You need to back up fundamental rights within state law.” A great look at the @DLCC's work to rebuild and take back legislative seats and chambers in 2020. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-el…

Let’s talk gerrymandering. Republicans in states like Texas, North Carolina, & Michigan have sat comfy for the last decade because they rigged district maps to keep themselves in power. But this year they’re up against a blue wave that could knock them off their seats. A thread.

THREAD: Last night, Senator Roger Chamberlain lied through his teeth about his promotion of a fascist manifesto, so we’re here with a thread of #receipts. First, Roger called accusations he promoted a horrific manifesto slander and said they'd been retracted. #mnleg

The pandemic is still killing more than 1,000 Americans a day, but don’t tell that to GOP state legislators—that might get in the way of their travel plans. Apparently, schmoozing with lobbyists is still a number one priority for Republicans. bit.ly/3aXF4DQ

At a Sea Island resort this week, some of the nation’s top GOP legislative officials are gathering for the @RSLC meetup to hash out policy in between rounds of golf and clay target shooting. At night, watch parties for the RNC are on the agenda. #gapol ajc.com/politics/politics-bl…

Instead of stepping up and being the leader that Texans needed, @GoldmanCraig chose to kick them while they were down. Read my statement on his attempt to unlawfully evict tenants struggling during a global heath crisis. #txlege
