It is extremely revealing that Corey Booker was able to stand for 25 hours and talk and make sense, and that every time the GOP open their mouths their utterances are insensible, incomprehensible, ungrounded in fact. Trust people who tell the truth. People who lie and fabricate are not trustworthy.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.
We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Congratulations. You found it. The thing you've been aimlessly scrolling for, feeling unfulfilled. This is it. You can go to bed now.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.
It is another to hand it to him.
I’m headed to the Senate floor now.
To cast an emphatic “no.”

Sen. Mark Kelly is ditching his Tesla
I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon.

I've never been so embarrassed to be an American. That meeting with Zelenskyy was the most disgusting thing I've ever had to watch.
Fuck every one of you who voted for this.
I grieve for the loss of my country and hope Europe gets itself ready for what we all know is coming.

If you still think both parties are just as bad, I don't want you in my life.
I will happily unsub, block, or forget about you. Whatever the case may be.
Are the Dems perfect? No.
Are they better? Obviously fucking yes.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going
