Imagine taking a voice vote with everyone's mics muted and no option to unmute.
That's what Trump did in his attempt to illegally slap his name on yet another public building.

Senate Republicans are considering a dangerous plan to overrule the Parliamentarian & gut California’s clean air waivers.

Some Republicans want to overrule the Parliamentarians & gut California’s Clean Air Act waivers.
They’re trying to claim this is a narrow exception, but make no mistake, they plan to go nuclear. Put bluntly: there is no cabining a decision to overrule the Parliamentarians.

President Trump would have us believe that all immigrants are criminals. For the true story, please listen to this moving report about whom the Trump administration is actually deporting. nytimes.com/2025/05/02/podca…
I'm gratified that the Parliamentarian held that the Senate will continue to rely on GAO determinations about whether agency actions qualify for fast-track disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. This is a victory for California's clean air standards and Senate procedure.
Today, the Senate parliamentarian reaffirmed that CA's vehicle emissions standards are not subject to the Congressional Review Act—a win for anyone who values clean air and affordable cars.

I joined @SenBooker during his historic speech to ask a few questions. First, at hour 17, how are you holding up?
