Senator Mark Kelly of AZ just asked him to yield for a question. He’s bringing to light the illegal use of military against US citizens. Fuck yeah!

Senators doing their jobs. Democrats need to take notes. No compliance. No subservience. No boot licking.

Instead, hold the floor. Ask the right questions. Make this regime feel uncomfortable at every step.

Y’all. For those who aren’t aware. Jeff Merkley, my Oregon senator, has been holding the Senate floor for 18 hours to protest the dictator (like Booker did).

Dude is 69 years old. He looks super tired, but he’s still going.

I never share YouTube links. I’m sorry for that. But in this case, it’s worth a click (in a private browser).

This is historical. Go, Jeff! ✊🏻

@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.
