There’s Cory Booker yet again.

But he filibustered nothing earlier this year!

Filibustered stopping no bills, making it look like a big show, and then voting yes for Trump's demands.

Yep, that's Congress.

Alex Padilla, supporting the people who threw him to the ground and handcuffed him for asking a question, in order to help billionaires enrich themselves. As a Californian I am disgusted with my representation.

Here I was being proud of him for standing up and getting arrested. I got an email saying how he we stand for California and America.

I guess it was just for show, again.

How many crypto coins did they get?

"I will fight for California" but then votes yes for Trump's demands as a Hispanic man, a senator in California.

Is there anything more Democrat? Verbally declaring that you care but when it's time to do the actual meaningful part of the job you were elected to do, you cave into fascist-written bills.
