We needed this to happen. The Republicans will not do the right thing with their power, so tie them up. Mitch McConnell did it for years as minority leader.
Bless him.

Dear all Democrats in power. try something - DO SOMETHING.


THIS is what we want. We don’t know if this one act by Booker will have an immediately observed benefit but it is a VISIBLE ACT of resistance. It speaks FOR US. And it is speaking FOR us, and whole lot less down to us, and making excuses that is needed.

has to read or comment in them all if they don’t want to. More exposure and recognition for Sen. Booker is a good thing.

Senator Cory Booker has started his 17th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster.

"Donald Trump is rolling back common sense environmental protections, threatening our children's' futures, and hurting our nation's economy."

Get it, Cory!

I got up and started playing. I put it on my phone and listened while at the dentists office, went grocery shopping listening to Cory.

I can not stop
