"It makes me sad, it makes me feel like crying, when people are denied the right to vote.”
500 days ago, moments before the House passed #HR1, John Lewis spoke powerfully on the House floor. 500 days later, McConnell is blocking the bill.
Honor John Lewis. Strengthen democracy.

The House will vote THIS WEEK on #HR1, an anti-corruption bill that includes a small-dollar matching system!
We get it: "Small-dollar matching system" sounds confusing. But it's a simple idea with HUGE impact.

Corruption and special interest greed in Washington have undermined everything we care about: Protecting our planet. Keeping our families safe from gun violence. Ensuring the integrity of our elections. It's time to get back on track. It's time to end Citizens United. #HR1

Good @EJDionne piece debunking the ultra-super-savvy take that HR 1 is a "messaging bill" for Dems, simply because Senate Rs won't vote on it. No, it's an effort to craft a serious response to the current moment's threats to democracy:
