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.
I didn’t watch Rubio’s confirmation hearing, so thanks for the correction.
He’s ignoring injunctions, not rulings. He can only be held in contempt of court until the cases have been ruled.
I’m not lying, but I may be uninformed. What I else could they be doing from the minority? I’ll add it to the list when I call and message my Representative and Senator.
We get ~20% turnout in congressional primaries, yet people call for term limits. Either stump and vote for better representation or accept that these people are at least trying to stop the nation from burning down. Apathy or actionless criticism will get us nowhere.
you are against term limits?
Not at all. My point is we have a chance to replace these people every two or four years in the primaries, but only ~20% of us actually vote in them.
