WHY IS THE FILIBUSTER NOT ALL OVER MY DASH. Six hours and they’re still going. You go, Senator Murphy (D-CT).

Senate Dems are taking a stand to support background check measures, which are supported by 92% of Americans, including 87% of Republicans, and to oppose the terrorism loophole that enabled the Orlando shooter to buy an AR-15 with the ease of buying a fucking pizza.
