Thank you

I want to thank everyone who tuned into my 22 hour 37 minute speech on the Senate floor. Thank you for being with me in this fight.

And thank you to everyone who was with me on the floor: my Team Merkley staff, the Capitol Police, the floor staff, the stenographers, the Senate pages, the doorkeepers, the parliamentarians, the presiding officers, and my colleagues who took time out of their day to ask important questions.

A special thank you to all those who chipped in whatever they could to support our cause.

We're at a perilous moment, and we must continue to resist authoritarianism with all we have.

I know with you by my side, we can win this fight and beat Trump's tyranny. Let's keep up the pressure and keep building our grassroots movement.

Onward!

Jeff
