and I wish that there was a group of other senators, waiting for their turn to take the floor and speak about what is being done to our country. The thing is, Republicans think it is only their country. We need to step in an remind them that it belongs to ALL of us, not just Trump and his Muskrat.

They could shut the senate down if there were enough to just keep the floor for days, maybe a week or so, draw some attention.
