A democratic senator should hold a filibuster by reading Virginia Guiffre's entire memoir on the floor.

#Trump says #Senate should scrap the #filibuster to end the government #shutdown

Trump is calling on the Senate to scrap the filibuster, so that the Republican majority can bypass Democrats & reopen the federal government.

“THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE ‘NUCLEAR OPTION,’ GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER,” Trump posted late Thursday night on his social media site, Truth Social.

The #filibuster is a long-standing tactic in the #Senate to delay or block votes on legislation by keeping the debate running. It requires 60 votes in a full Senate to overcome a filibuster, giving Democrats a check on the 53-seat Republican majority that led to the start of the Oct. 1 shutdown when the new fiscal year began.

#Trump’s call to terminate the filibuster could alter the ways the Senate & congressional dealmaking operate….

@mastodonmigration I’m so proud of him! He’s on Chapter Four of How Democracies Die. He’s still live, with a second YouTube link as you shared here. 2 screenshots I’ve gotten. First shows the number of views on YouTube first part. Second screenshot shows where he is now after 4 am Washington DC time and 1 am Arizona time.

12 plus hours now and counting. There are comments going in a live chat. I so hope Americans will tune in to hear him, even a short bit. This is so very important on this Senate filibuster.

He is also trying to prevent the Senate from assisting the House where the Congress is still recessed. The GOP in power have been out of session to avoid seating the New Democrat congresswoman who would vote to force a public House vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

President Trump requested the House avoid a public vote because it would look bad for powerful people who may have participated in crimes or helping the trafficking young teenage women for sex.
