The Senate will vote to advance President Trump's nomination of Matthew Whitaker to be the U.S. Ambassador to NATO. He previously served as Acting Attorney General during the first Trump Administration.
It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.
Fair point. They’ve always defaulted to Shumering because shutting down the government causes a lot of pain for people dependent on public services, but with the idiots in charge already dismantling everything, there’s zero reason not to, most of the people dependent on the government are already getting fucked DOGEy style anyway.
Correct, right now they are proving that they will hold the senate floor all day and prevent legislation. I’m hoping they have discovered a way to block everything. Scream and bitch and never give up the floor. No new laws. No new budgets, no tax cuts. endless sit in.
I think this is that thing. They have found a way to shut down the congress. They just need to hold the floor for 2 years. They need to be encouraged to hold the senate floor for 2 years. The ultimate sit in. You want your representatives doing something? Obstructing congressional progression is that thing. Endless sit in.
When the Democrats grow a spine and start actually blocking all progress like the Republicans can magically do every time they are the minority.

He’s been going all day and nothing passed, i hope they can keep it up.
I’ve been trained all my life to never count on Democrats for anything, it would be better late than never
