Senate Democrats Hold the Floor in Overnight Protest

“There was no nursery rhyme reciting nor phone book reading. No cots wheeled out for senators to catch naps in between speechifying,” the New York Times reports.

“But one by one on Wednesday night and into Thursday, Senate Democrats flocked to the floor for an all-night talkathon to protest the confirmation of Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to lead the White House budget office and an architect of his ultraconservative Project 2025 policy agenda.”
