Senator Cory Booker just broke Strom Thurmond’s record of 24 hours and 18 minutes for the longest solo speech in Senate history. Thurmond used it to block civil rights — Booker used it to fight for justice. The arc of history bends, but only because people pull it. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Yesterday it was revealed that the Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles.
After the story broke, the State Department's procurement document removed mention of Tesla.

This and the Eric Adams dismissal are signals.
Our criminal president is signaling that corruption is acceptable as long as your allegiance is to him.
He will control his criminal cronies as well as his enemies through abuse of the justice system.
America is entering its age of kleptocracy.

If any party, including the government, doesn’t like a court order, it can appeal it. It doesn’t get to just disregard it. Vance took an oath to uphold the Constitution, just like Sen. Cotton did. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | JD Vance is turning his back on his law degree — and his oath of office
The political consequences of these misplaced legal arguments have to be taken seriously. But the legal arguments underpinning them are shamefully unserious.

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.
This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges.
