Fair is fair. While I lambasted the Dems supporting the CR, I applaud those who supported Booker in his effort to apply some level of resistance. (With alt text)

Reach out on their web sites to tell them ‘thank you’. We need at least as many carrots as sticks.
Senators who gave Booker a break during "filibuster" Murphy, Schumer, Gillibrand Bennett, Cantwell, Kim, Warnock, Whitehouse Blumenthal, Schiff, Murray, Warren, Lujan, Blunt Rochester, Smith, Duckworth, Hassan, Reed, Alsobrooks, Padilla, King, Rosen, Welch, Markey, Vanhollen, Durbin, Kaine , Klobuchar, Wyden, Warner, Baldwin
