Why is the Democratic senator from West Virginia echoing Republican talking points about American elections?

The upper body of Congress has become a colossal wreck where democracy goes to die.

Beltway pundits, finally wise to the fact that the president’s agenda faces long odds, have decided that the narrative needs to be changed.

The White House’s quiet campaign to tweak the D.C. Admission Act also provides the first hint that the president is open to reforming the Electoral College.

The key vote of the Senate might have a way to preserve voting rights from the GOP’s assaults and John Roberts’ legal opinions.

If we lose the fight to protect voting rights, we'll lose everything else, too.

For lawmakers who want to pay lip service to policies they don’t actually want to enact, the Senate’s Jim Crow relic provides a convenient alibi.

It’s not clear that the president even has a plan to pass the kind of legislation that would earn him comparisons to FDR.

Sure, it has its drawbacks, but forcing politicians to stand on the Senate floor for hours at a time, monologuing, might be the only way to pass desperately needed voting rights legislation.

Biden has only months to enact change, and his legacy will be defined by whether he saved voting rights from Republican assault.

The only thing that will save the GOP’s preferred procedural weapon is the charity—or the naïveté—of Democrats.

He warned of a “scorched-earth Senate” if Democrats kill the filibuster. But that future is already here—thanks largely to him.

Is the West Virginia lawmaker peddling false hope by suggesting he’s open to filibuster reform?

The failure to pass a background checks bill exposes just how little bipartisanship matters.

Long before Southern Democrats filibustered Civil Rights legislation, “filibusteros” were conquering slave territories for the United States.

Stunts like forcing legislation to be read aloud would be trivially easy to get rid of, if anyone wanted to.

The Arizona senator is almost single-handedly keeping Democrats from wielding their majority power—and the party may well lose that power as a result.

The battle for reform offers the new administration a chance to exorcise Trumpism and prove it has agenda-setting grit.

The activists who sent Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema to Washington aren’t happy with their early moves in office.

Republicans have blown their chance. It’s time to move on.
