The Democrats are taking another long weekend and STILL agreeing to unanimous consent.
It’s fucking insane. These people are not fucking listening.

And I am old enough to remember that Schumer held a weekly presser on a NYC corner to get the media attention like ages ago. Now....? 🤷♀️
That took a dark turn.
Love your reply!
It’s a bit frustrating that news outlets don’t write good stories on this but you can see it in the congressional record or the daily digest.
Thune read out a bunch of unanimous consent requests at the end of the legislative day.

I don't think it's a matter of corruption. The Senate is dysfunctional, so it legislates via budgeting. That's not going to change this year.

But you are not getting the sheer scale of the insanity here.
And yeah, that sounds about right.
