Update to a previous post made by someone else about 8 hrs ago, but Sen. Booker of NJ is STILL holding the floor in the Senate as of 0545 EST as a form of protest against the MEDICARE/MEDICAID cuts, as well as the administration at large. Watch here on CSPAN if you’re interested: https://www.c-span.org/event/us-senate/us-senate/432077

I'm sure Chuck Schumer will say he supports ending the filibuster after this

We should all be sending him some support right now

We should all be calling up our other Democratic Senators and bitching at them for not joining him.

For the Europeans, what’s going on? What’s the plan he is sabotaging, or is it just a protest topic?

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Protest mostly. Nothing can be done until he gives up the podium (no votes or discussions of other topics).

Nothing specific is being halted, more like Martin Luther nailing his list of grievances

Thanks

I wonder if there will be multiple filibusters from now on.
