Omigosh, he’s got a second wind since I last was awake and listening. Fell asleep with my phone on my chest. Here is a fresh YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/live/ymDt1XecYfI?si=AKD58r4TSJ-fPA2Z
He is almost at the 12 hour straight mark! #Resist #DontObey #EpsteinFiles

Now an assault on freedom of the press detailing how Trump is taking control of the press! Good that all this must be written into the Senate Record.

Now speaking about a Macarthy Red Scare attack on Visas because of freedom of speech. These things are so carefully held from broadcast and publishing where Trump supporters may learn of them.

Senator Merkley is going directly after the Trump action to persecute and prosecute his Enemies on his Enemies List. #cspan #CSpan2

Senator Merkley is reading now about the suppression of free speech. He’s just given the stories of Trump suing TV networks and winning by getting many millions of dollars to settle a lawsuit when experts agree that Trump’s lawsuits would not be successful. He mentions Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Charlie Kirk. #cspan #CSpan2

This link to see CSpan2 says you can see live but it also says television providers also had it. This filibuster began 2:15 pm ET so it’s over 8 hours now on the senate floor!

Right now Senator Andy Kim of NJ has taken about 5 minutes to give Senator Merkley a break. He held forth on additional authoritarian takeover. Right now; graphic board back.
“Ring the alarm bells: AUTHORITARIANISM IS HERE NOW!

Marley now back on specific constitution requirements as to invasion by federal troops. #cspan #CSpan2

Definitely worth it to tune in to see Oregon Senator Merkley holding the speaker podium currently on Senate floor, continuing right now 10:38 pm Washington DC and 7:38 pm here in AZ. They don’t have a share link but it’s C-Span 2 right now. Shown in a screenshot I just got. He’s been destroying Trump authoritarian regime, with a large mounted graphic labeling Trump authoritarian administration policy. It’s good to see another Democrat leader who is putting himself out there. #cspan #CSpan2

#CSPAN2 is showing the #Republican National Committee Leadership Election and it looks very disorganized. One lady is on the microphone calling names and people are going up to a ballot box dropping in pieces of paper. And it seems nobody is listening because the background chatter is so loud and overwhelming I had to mute the TV.
