How? I see them all speechifying in those paneled wood chambers, and I can imagine why they love the job so much. At least the senators. House seems a little grittier

People don't want "insurance," that's the thing. They want a healthcare subscription. Pay a certain amount according to need, get services that are deemed by experts to be what we reasonably need to live our lives in reasonable health.
Oh wait I mean Medicare

HA! Let's show them! I just have to hope my weight training class with other old white people will have enabled me to carry an American flag on a pole from Dolores Park to the Civic Center;)

Oh, hey, I passed him on the steps of Shutters on the Beach, in Santa Monica, and I smiled at him because he's very, very handsome in person. Like, TV star handsome LOL. I have no idea what he thought;)

When he's mad like this he almost sounds like a real person. I'll take it!

We all knew. We all knew.
Try to think of who is any better off with Trump in place. Gazans? No. American Jews? No. Both the Pittsburg synagogue and the DC killings were under his watch. Immigrants, clearly no. Only the people running him, or his sycophants. We're all worse off.

They can only do what they can do inside the structure of the Senate, as the minority party. They can impede, but not much else, as I understand it.
I promise, hearing them speak felt like something.

And they are almost all using terms like authoritarian and fascist. This matters. It's up to us to amplify what they are saying.

This IS action for them. They are all speaking out on the Senate floor. I wouldn't dismiss this unless you're watching.

I can't even remember the names I've been called. But at this point, reading anyone who wrecks my nervous system, nope! Blockity block block block. I'll read people I disagree with, for sure, as long as they aren't jerks.

Totally agree with you. However, for clarity, Padilla isn't the first sitting Latino Senator, just the first from California.

5. Make no mistake - Republicans are now using words like "lunge" and "charge" to describe Padilla.
That is not what happened; it's literally on film. DO NOT let them get away with setting this narrative. Call it out. Demand corrections if you see it in the press e.g. write the NYT.

Without knowing anything, I feel it almost might be better if he finds a way to very conditionally rule for the US, to prevent them appealing to the Supreme Court?
