A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.
As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

In 2010 someone tried to claim a fraudulent tax return for me and my husband. Since that time we’ve had to jump through hoops every year to file our taxes. I will be damned if I stand by and watch DOGE and E.M. access my personal financial information. I called all my Congressional representatives.

Sometimes your body says slow down. Take a rest. Heal. That is me today, feeling sick. I have 3 commitments today I had to reschedule to take care of myself and not get anyone else sick. It feels terrible. I don’t like letting people down. But today I will rest and try to give myself some grace.

It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him.
