Unanimous consent objections, quorum calls, forcing cloture, and talking filibusters. Ask yourself “what would Mitch McConnell do?”
Press conferences and poster boards aren’t going to cut it

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless.
They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc
It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

The number of people who respond to this with “filibusters do nothing” or “they have to vote no!” makes me think that way too many people do not understand current Senate rules.
Calling my senators and telling them to filibuster the SAVE act.

Senate Democrats should commit to reading every single one of the 381 books that Hegseth banned from the Naval Academy into the public record on the Senate floor.

And fun fact: Senator Thurmond would do filibusters to stop civil rights legislation. This is the opposite of that.

Yes would be perfect for a filibuster because their songs ARE filibusters.
I would be disappointed if a Frank Conniff filibuster did not include some Yes!

Gerrymanders silence the voices of thousands; Senate filibusters derail important legislation; our electoral college results in election winners becoming losers; and our existing campaign finance system furthers the interests of the wealthy over everyone else. Demand real reform now!

Also "supermajority" here means they can amend the constitution, whereas in the US that would mean they can ignore filibusters.
