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.

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.

I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate.

Yesterday, we tried to get into the US Treasury to find out what Elon Musk is doing with the people’s money and data.

We were locked out, but this is just the beginning.

The people deserve transparency and oversight.

Last week, Elon Musk's staff illegally breached the U.S. Treasury payment system and gained access to millions of Americans' personal data.

We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

A beautiful email I received from Dr. Amanda Kemp on the intentions of Martin Luther King. This should be the goal, to change the mindset from fear and hatred to love and understanding! Just resisting isn't enough, there must be a change to the soul of our country!
