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.

It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

    It’s the ONLY productive thing they can be doing. Prevent republicans from using the congress. They only want to use it to give the power of the people to ELon musk.

      This SHOULD have been done to stop the last CR. Democrats had a chance to present a united opposition with both the Senate and the House but threw it away. This is not the ONLY productive thing they could be doing, it’s the only legal thing they can do. Democrats are still playing by the rules and following decorum. Americans are angry many seem to be starting to realize they were sold a culture war when what they are actually fighting is a class war. Until the messaging becomes that of a class war Democrats will not be able to capitalize on the anger.

        Well said. If you listen to the filibuster its full of populist lust for justice and compassion. I’m hoping this is where the anger and hope mix and we can start working on saving this country. least what we can.
