[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]24 hours of substantive speech. Not fluff. No food/bathroom breaks. We need more of this. This is different - and we in times of crisis need something different. Something major. Way to go Corey Booker! Way to set an example. [/quote]

25 hours!

I don't know why his speech is making me feel better - and making me feel more energized and hopeful - but it really is.[/quote]

Agree Cory speaking and Susan Crawford winning lifted me up last night. He was amazing and said what we all needed to hear. Thank you Cory Booker[/quote]
Yes, yesterday was a good day. Not only this, but a (far right) woman and a Democrat came together to push an amendment to allow new mothers to vote by proxy in their first six weeks. The Democrats held together and peeled off NINE Republicans, so the rule did not pass.

Johnson called off votes for the entire week and stomped out of the chamber.

This means three horrible bills will not even be voted on this week! The Save act, the repealing of caps on overdraft fees, and stripping federal judges of their jurisdiction.

NOW, we have work to do. While I praise Booker for his moving speech, Senate Democrats are still not using all the tools they have to obstruct business and slow down this coup. They need to be denying unanimous consent and every single opportunity!

15 minutes after Cory‘s 25 hour speech Big toilet Whitaker was confirmed. The Democrats didn’t even try to delay that vote. And yes, I know it was already delayed hours, but they need to be fighting at every opportunity.

If you have a Democratic senator call them and demand they “deny unanimous consent“ at every single opportunity. They’ll know what you mean.

Lastly, everyone needs to show up on Saturday. Booker was explicit. The people will take back the power. That means we need to rise up and be in the streets and show our force. If you’re concerned about being in crowds, there are happening all over the country and smaller suburbs even. Find an event and go.
