The filibuster is expected to go through the night, against fast-tracked nominees by the Trump Administration. Booker’s protest appears to be in response to a recent wave of Republican nominees being fast-tracked through the confirmation process, many of whom are aligned with Trump’s second-term agenda and Elon Musk’s increasingly influential role in federal advisory circles.
Is this just a gimmick, or is it actually useful? Seems like starting a filibuster at this time of day won’t mean much unless republicans were planning on voting this late.
both. as he said its “good trouble”. unlikely to change course, but really useful to show other dems that a backbone is useful and people will support you.
also good info being passed out to anyone that will listen.
