image for Cory Booker Has Been Shaming and Protesting the Trump Administration for 20 Straight Hours

I hung in there as long as I could on Monday night, but Senator Cory Booker outlasted me.

He has moved on to shaming the House conservatives for their fiscal cruelty and irresponsibility.

What Booker is doing is not technically a filibuster since Booker is not holding up action on a specific bill.

He’s moved on to shaming conservative Republicans for sucking up to the guy who sucks up to Vladimir Putin by demolishing NATO.

Alabama’s attorney general cannot prosecute people and groups who help Alabama women travel to other states to obtain abortions, a federal judge ruled Monday.
