As President Donald Trump prepares to welcome the top investors in his meme coin to a private dinner, centrist Senate Democrats gave a different kind of gift to the crypto industry on Monday.

    Have democrats actually filibustered anything since trump took office?

    Booker wasn’t filibustering any particular legislation or appointment.

        Americans suffering and “learning their lesson”, not to vote republican next time, as vile a sentiment as it is, is the only reason I can suggest, other than personal financial gain, for democrats lack of action. Greed and spite and manipulation.

        It’s like they’re hedging their bets with fascism. God I hope they live to regret it.
