Real glad to see omnibus funding bill signed by Biden b/f everyone left DC to fly home. Glad we can avoid pointless drama of govt funding crisis. So much in the bill that addresses key goals of both parties; military defense, public health, veterans services, and update of #ElectoralCountAct to prevent a president from trying to overturn a presidential election, which we needed to address.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) warned of the Electoral College’s “danger” to democracy during an appearance on CBS’ “Face The Nation” on Sunday. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jamie-raskin-electoral-college_n_63a910d6e4b0cbfd55dc9202 #jamieraskin #January6thCommittee #jan6 #electoralcollege #omnibus #spendingbill #electoralcountact #politics

There's something very unsettling about #Romney's defense of the Electoral Count Act. He rebukes #Trump countering that he wouldn't want #KamalaHarris to pick the next prez, would he? It's like #Romney is teasing outTrump's #Racism & #Misogyny. Why do you have to exploit a #BlackWoman to make your point, sir? #ElectoralCountAct @thehill #VP

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being appeased while the status quo does not change in the slightest. #electoralreform #electoralsystem #electoralvotes #electoralcountact

Congress has passed reforms to the Electoral Count Act which will now be sent to President Biden for final approval. The revised act emphasizes that the vice president’s responsibility in certifying votes is merely ceremonial and raises the threshold required for members of Congress to object to certifying the electors. #news #breakingnews #usnews #politics #uspolitics #congress #potus #electoralcountact

Trump-resistant, not Trump-proof

Reforms to the Electoral Count Act are just a first step.

Congress is expected to pass a government funding bill that includes a revision of 1887’s Electoral Count Act. This will secure and strengthen the process of certifying electoral votes for all future elections. #news #breakingnews #politics #uspolitics #congress #electoralcountact #electoralcollege #2020election #2024election

#Ukraine Aid and #ElectoralCountAct expected to make it into the last congressional spending bill with Democrats in charge, averting a gov't shutdown.

Before Republicans take over the House, and dysfunction, disinformation & debasing institutions become the norm again :(
