I wish we could get this kind of drive and fortitude when it comes to actually passing legislation that benefits anyone other than the 1%, but nope. Too much to ask. Mr. Booker only has this in him when it means getting a lot of free publicity and accomplishing nothing else.

Hell, where was this two weeks ago when we needed someone to stop both Trump AND Democratic capitulation?
