Awesome news! Another DEM senator ftw.

The mini-speeches and back and forth questioning between Rand and other Senators is super interesting and definitely helped the last filibuster become "great TV" during the prime-time hours. Definitely hoping that there's a little back and forth between Rand and a pro-patriot act Senator so the 'drama' amps up even more than it already is... so here's to hoping that a pro-patriot act Senator tries tussling with Rand later on tonight (maximum 'drama' ftw )

[GunnyFreedom]

They are using it to argue USA Freedom Act

Thanks for the correction, he said it quick and was worried I'd confuse some of the names

It was Rand's request: "Join in with the action today by sending in a picture of yourself watching the filibuster in the medium of your choice. Post the image below or use the #standwithrand hashtag on Twitter or Instagram. We'll highlight as many as we can."
