You're actually seeing Senators now lining up to show they can fight. Booker's the big one. But you also see Gallego and Schiff announcing holds.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
The “consequences phase”. Looking forward to this phase for our new administration.
