RantCrush Top 5: June 15, 2016

Ahh! American politics just aren’t right without a good old fashion filibuster. Today, Connecticut senator Chris Murphy stood on the Senate floor for two hours making sure he drove the point home about preventing  gun violence.

Other constituents came out to support Murphy, too:

We are 2 hours in on Sen floor. No business as usual. We want a vote on closing the terrorist gun loophole. #ENOUGH https://t.co/Jg7tlBO7My
