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.

      When the republicans can get a majority in the senate and stop the dems from using it? Hopefully it lives on for 200 more years with this country i know and love.

        I’m OK with a live filibuster. Being able to “filibuster” a bill by passing a note to the teacher threatening to talk all night does not promote compromise or good lawmaking.

          I’m watching a live filibuster. A 18 hour long speech. Holding the senate floor and preventing any legislation or nomination.

          YES ITS NOT A FILIBUSTER OF A CERTAIN BILL. IT IS A FILIBUSTER OF ALL NEW BILLS AND NOMINATIONS. IT TAKES TIME AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN ADGENDA.

          I HOPE THIS HELPS.
