Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
He stopped a full day of business in the Senate. I've never been a huge Booker fan but I gotta admit, not only is it a pretty impressive feat but this is exactly the kind of thing we need from them right now.
A full day of ... nothing. The senate, and congress as a whole don't really do anything these days. They pass maybe one consequential bill every 2 years and then go back to sitting on there asses because the filibuster prevents them from doing anything besides "bipartisan" shit like sending weapons to Israel.
All the bad shit that's been happening is coming from trumps desk with no approval or input from congress.
Hey now give him credit where credit is due, he at least made sure to wait until after the spending bill. That way he didn't interfere with project 2025 at all.
What a thoughtful soul
Congress, republican controlled*, has chosen not to act, which many view as a tacit approval.
No, we need their party to stop bombing Palestinian civilians. In no way is booker, who is a staunch zionist, promising to change that.
