Wishing you well, Nana. God bless.

[Gene Eric]

Agreed.

[SE Mom]

VERY briefly..doing kind of a good cop/bad cop thing. At least that’s what I hope it was.

[Ghost of SVR4]

i planned to pop in and watch Cruz for 10 min or so....

Same here..This guy isn't bloviating, he's blowing the doors off of DC tonight.

I STILL want to know where the hell Toomey is. Highly pissed at my senator right now.

He is reading the tweets of people like you and me on the Senate floor!

I’ve laughed at the Dems who read news and opinions from the major media, but I have never seen this before.

This is a seminal moment!

GO SARAH! GO TED!!!

[Girlene]

Thanks....can’t believe I’ve been missing this one.

That’s it for the Republican senators who bothered to show up? Shameful. I’ll be checking with my senator, but it doesn’t sound like he’s there.

Everyone should contact their senators in the am to either slam them or thank them.

[caww]

Mine too..who is sprawled on the deck!

[NFHale]

“...Screw the parasites, we outnumber them....”

Amen, girl...!!

Good to see ya again!!!

[jjsheridan5]

I had low expectations for this. I am ecstatic to say I was wrong. We are bearing witness to one of the great American statesmen, coming into his prime. I never thought I would watch CSpan for hours, but cannot turn this off.

[Jane Long]

Yep. Disappointed in Deb Fisher. I called her oiffice earlier to ask if she would “oppose cloture” ... staffer said Fisher has made “no statement” on that :( I’m sorry I helped her sorry @zz into office :(
