I am struck by how fucking insane the Senate is behaving.
They have done literally nothing of note to alter their schedules despite the most insane government crisis since the civil war.

The few big obstruction events were rehearsed garbage that is the same routine for every administration.
But if that was true (its not), why do they do it that way? Is it because its more convenient? That's really nuts.
And as he is well aware, cloture objections are not the only thing to object to.
But not a single senator has.
Abolish the Senate.
He hasn't done a thing except told everyone how useless Capitol Hill is, a place where he works and has tons of power he refuses to use.
But you can easily verify yourself on https://senate.gov and going through the record. @highcountryrose.bsky.social has been doing the count, her feed has all the source citations.
He has zero formal powers for Senate floor proceedings. None of them have to listen to him.
So them hiding behind that excuse is honestly disgusting.
Most of these geriatrics built the post-911 security state Trump is using.
Same realization I had when this all started going down and they did nothing. Schumer's behavior and interviews these last few days prove the point.
They are accomplisss.
My sympathy for their predicament is extremely limited.

Because the representatives sure ain't representing. At rock-bottom minimum, they should not be taking long weekends.
