You mean you’re frustrated with the performative, but useless, Democratic opposition? (Like how Cory Booker saves his marathon speech for when it accomplishes nothing but good PR?)
Or are you angered by the outright collaboration with fascist Republicans, like that time we needed them to vote against Trump and DOGE and force a government shutdown, but instead, gave Trump and DOGE everything they asked for?
Agreed. They’re not even a ‘lesser’ evil at this point. They’re doing fascism too.
Immediately following the speech, deliberations on Matthew Whitaker’s nomination to serve as ambassador of NATO resumed on the Senate floor, resulting in the Senate confirming his nomination later that evening 52–45.[25] However, Booker’s speech was not technically a filibuster to prevent a piece of legislation from passing.[16]
No, any source where Booker states that it was his intent to block the Whitaker nomination. Bumping up to it in the schedule seems to be reported as coincidental, and not the intent of the Booker stunt.

He was blocking Trump’s confirmation of the ambassador to NATO, but yeah, we should’ve had it during the budget vote.
Not true. He was avoiding a hearing that would have put him opposite his big tech buddies.
could you elaborate? was he not blocking the confirmation?
No. There was nothing being blocked.
how so? they were in the middle of the whittaker nomination.
