All of that.

Booker’s passion for this country, for all of us, is so clear. He isn’t reading, he’s speaking from his heart, from what he knows.

This is Churchillian, and we need it as much as England needed him.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

Was at the dentist this morning.

Dentist: How's it going?
Me: Eh, haven't been added to any confidential Signal chats!
Dentist: ...what?

Neither dentist nor her assistants had any idea about the top headline on every single news site yesterday.

Talk about it. GET PEOPLE to follow the news.

Congress better DO SOMETHING about this! This was incompetence on a colossal level! Now they are all trying to LIE about what was really on this group chat because that is always the maga way, right? Just lie, lie, lie! 🤬

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow.

Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand .
