the for the people act, obviously, is the subject of all sorts of activism and strategizing and worked and speech-ifying and we re seeing sort of pressure in all of the different ways that it comes including this increasingly dramatic direct action event. people engaging in peaceful civil disobedience. blocking traffic to include today in washington, dozens of women arrested, trying to do anything they can to move people s conscience to pass this thing. is there any movement where it counts and saw the u.s. senate among your colleagues who have not been willing to either change the senate rules to get to a place where democrats can pass this without republican votes or to potentially change minds in terms of turning no votes into guesses? there is many paths. first of all, i would abolish the filibuster. i know some of my colleagues are not yet in the same place.
