Twelve GOP senators voted today in favor of marriage equality, overcoming the 60-vote filibuster threshold:

Roy Blunt (MO)
Richard Burr (NC)
Shelley Moore Capito (WV)
Susan Collins (ME)
Cynthia Lummis (WY)
Rob Portman (OH)
Dan Sullivan (AK)
Mitt Romney (UT)
Thom Tillis (NC)
Lisa Murkowski (AK)
Join Ernst (IA)
Todd Young (IN)

I wrote about why I don't like this bill, and why it absolutely needed to pass.

I'm glad it did. Read my piece on it here:

I Hate the Senate Bill and We Need It to Pass

Listen now (13 min) | It sucks. And it's our only real option. We have to pass it.

@charlotteclymer This is so infuriating…. These GOP are NOT progressive. Why don’t you, at least, mention that all the Dems voted for the bill? Pushed for it…. fought for it.

@meh1 @charlotteclymer Possibly because that was so obvious it didn't need to be said, though did Manchin?

@meh1 @charlotteclymer I think the point is that we desperately need moderate R’s in order to pass basic protections

@meh1 That the Dems voted for it is a given. Can’t get to 60 without those 50. Don’t get infuriated, there’s no reason. 😉
