Brownstein has written many perceptive tweets on the Republican Party recently. He often retweets tweets from Jennifer Rubin who writes for the Washington Post. Her tweets and articles are worth checking on. Brownstein writes for the Atlantic and appears on CNN.
So striking the Manchin/Sinema refusal to change the filibuster gave Senate GOP a veto over whether Washington could respond to all of the restrictions on rights red state Republicans are passing on a virtually complete party line basis-whether abortion, voting, LGBTQ, book bans https://t.co/CMYeu3TbIV

Also a reminder, as I wrote today, that many of the states most deeply invested in fossil fuel economy are the same moving most aggressively to limit voting/abortion/LGBTQ rights, ban books, censor teachers. Its an across the board recoil from changing US. https://t.co/uWqdR9Y2p2 https://t.co/XXUiSY2F23

The axis of GOP #scotus majority, red state governors & legislators & GOP Senators working to unravel the rights revolution of the past 6 decades is explored here. Very unlikely the current targets-abortion/voting/LGBTQ/censoring teachers-are the endpoint. https://t.co/yMY1lr9z7Z https://t.co/Rqw340hRaW

The wave of red state laws already undoing civil rights/liberties show the blueprint: GOP #scotus majority rescinds previous national right; GOP governors & legs rush thru that opening to undo it; in Congress GOP Sens filibuster to block D legislation restoring the national right https://t.co/xOcFtTKGHM
