“In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy,” Booker said on the floor. “These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.”

“Generations from now will look back at this moment and have a single question — where were you?”

25 hours! He just ended, and 30 seconds later some wrinkled up asshole moved on to the next order of business, the nominee for ambassador to the UN. Democrats should deny unanimous consent for this sort of thing. Make then fight for every inch.
