This marks a shift for Sen. Peters, who has been lukewarm to ending the filibuster in the past.
Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) says it might be time to “reassess” the filibuster in the U.S. Senate if Republicans continue to refuse to negotiate with the Democratic majority.
“If they are not acting in good faith, then we have to reassess the filibuster rule.” Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI)
Amid threats from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell about a ”scorched earth” Senate, Peters says, ”If we have Republicans on these big pieces of legislation that are necessary for our country, if they are not acting in good faith, then we have to reassess the filibuster rule.”

The project’s managing editor Gillian B. White and Atlantic staff writer Clint Smith talk about filling in the pages of Black history with stories that have gone unknown for too long.
With the recognition of Black History Month, many organizations are focusing on Black stories. The Atlantic’s Inheritance project is a more permanent dedication to Black history, reaching beyond just the month of February. The multi-year project will piece together suppressed Black narratives and use them to better understand America’s history and future.
“We’re not just focusing on history in the rearview…we are talking about the ways that Black people have affected history and affected change in ways that are evident now and will impact the future.” Gillian B. White, The Atlantic
