The record for the longest filibuster is 24 hours and 18 minutes.
It is held by Sen. Thurman who was filibustering AGAINST the Civil Rights Act.

How poetic would it be for a black man to smash that record for a much more noble cause?!

Keep going, Cory!! #corybooker #filibuster

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I’m glad the astronauts landed safely! It was specifically good to read the news in the AP because the piece said they landed in the *Gulf of Mexico*. Kudos to the AP for that.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
