Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced Wednesday that there are currently enough votes in the Senate to suspend the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion rights if Democrats win control of the House and keep the Senate and White House.

“We will suspend the filibuster. We have the votes for that on Roe v. Wade,” Warren said on ABC’s “The View.”

She said if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress in 2025, “the first vote Democrats will take in the Senate, the first substantive vote, will be to make Roe v. Wade law of the land again in America.”

    When they’re in power: Reach across the aisle! Government is about compromise!

    When they’re at risk of losing power: Vote for us because we’re not as bad as the Other Guys!

      One thing I know for sure about “bipartisan compromise” - whenever it happens, it means the American people are getting absolutely screwed.
