Make populism the new progressivism
What's another key to defeating Trumpism in the elections to come? Rebrand progressive policies as the true populism that a majority of Americans are craving -- and then deliver on those policies.

The Trump administration has no respect for the rule of law.
We are in court every single day to ensure that people's rights are protected, that our Constitution is upheld, and that this does not become the new normal.

The message to the American people from this administration is increasingly clear: they do not care about you.

👏👏 About a decade ago I learned who Sen. Booker is. When he spoke, I listened, learned, admired & respected. Now the rest of the country can. He is a gift to US. Let's pick up where he left off.
Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

History being made & told. Compassion & respect displayed for frightened people who are or will be harmed by this administration. Every American can learn from watching using the link from Rachel Maddow. This is our country & it's our job to learn when we can. Grateful for C-SPAN 🇺🇸
Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.
Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

Sen. Booker's ~25 hr. speech wasn't just about surpassing a racist's decades ago. It Was What He Said🇺🇸 He gave US mini history lessons 🇺🇸 He read messages from desperate Americans who are frightened about loss of support. He showed compassion❣️We can all do the same in our own small spaces 🇺🇸☮️
Breaking News: Senator Cory Booker’s speech criticizing President Trump has just become the longest speech in recorded Senate history.
Cory Booker Condemns Trump’s Policies in Longest Senate Speech on Record
The New Jersey senator, who had spent much of his last 24 hours on the Senate floor assailing the Trump administration, surpassed Senator Strom Thurmond’s speech in 1957.

Something to celebrate! The content of his words over this record breaking period of time was perhaps the most impressive. The depth and soul of his convictions, the empathy with the people he represents, the heartfelt passion! This is what we need. The ignition source for others to follow.

The Trump-Vance administration continue to plunge us into chaos. Trump’s trade war on our allies will only increase costs and fears for American families.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Sen. Booker is on C-SPAN 2 now. Everyone should watch & listen. Perhaps everyone should be calling senators & representatives demanding they not cut this enormously helpful program.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

It has been reported he also makes $$$$$ when law suites begin. Let's go for those who voted for this! I'm old & furious... not time to dilly dally!!!🩺
RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.
These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer.
Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year.

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.
There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

Democracy is not handing over elections to anyone with millions of $$. Citizens United must be overturned... caused by chief justice john roberts. There are about 6 issues we should all be demanding to get right... this is 1 of them. 2026 elections are far closer than we think. It's up to all of US.
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford
