U.S. Senate

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.

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.

    You mean Rubio being confirmed unanimously

    useless hope that he would be somewhat sane. an admitted massive fail.

    Courts which the fascists ignore, like fascists tend to do.

    righteous indignation over ignored court orders can burn white hot in the public - its part of a legitimate process.

    Now if you would just realize that the deadwood centrists (actually center right to right wing) are actually almost all of them

    well, yes. there is enough upheaval happening in this moment to force something. something will shift. what comes next (and how it comes) will almost certainly be different than what we have seen previously.
