The filibuster is expected to go through the night, against fast-tracked nominees by the Trump Administration.

i went ahead and called my own senator to be like “why aren’t YOU doing this”
perfect! push!
update, the one of my two senators that i contacted did in fact speak
from a state with two republican senators, thank you!
had to go to my local post office today and had a great convo with the person behind the desk - they were watching booker on their lunchbreak and we had an awesome moment of connection over this. I reminded them that there was still so much love out here just waiting to be organized.
