Let me get this straight.

Today, Trump blew up the economy then skipped town to hang out with Saudis at a golf tournament instead of receiving the four soldiers who died in Lithuania??

10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

If I was a judge and a DOJ lawyer filed a brief saying "yes, we mistakenly shipped someone with a right to be here to a foreign gulag but you have no power to order us to bring him back" I'd put that lawyer in jail until that person was brought back.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Elon Musk went to Wisconsin where he said the "destiny of humanity" rested on the election. Tonight the voters agreed and rejected his and Trump's undemocratic vision for the country.

Yes! This is so damn good. We need warriors. Rise to the occasion Dems. If you can’t, get out of the way.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

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.

Welcome to Bluesky, Secretary Clinton!
Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

House GOP puts judges on ‘Wanted’ posters. Elon Musk pays voters to attend his WI rally. Trump floats a 3rd term. The world realigns on trade—without the U.S. And much more. Catch up on a wild day in politics:

It's so important that people understand that the fear of "looking like a fool" is a direct result of misogyny, better understood as male supremacism, & a direct driver of toxic masculinity.

The more we understand that, & that it's a FEAR, the closer we'll come to something like a healthy society.

"Under the previous administration we looked like fools. Not anymore.”

Carve it into his career headstone.

It turns out Jeffrey Goldberg wasn't the only unauthorized individual in the Signal group chat. Trump nominee Joe Kent, who has yet to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, was also in the group as they discussed top secret war plans.

Summary of the spin from Gabbard, Radcliffe, Patel, etc. during this hearing:

There was no classified info shared in the text group but also there needs to be a closed session to discuss the context of the chat but also there aren't specifics but also it's too detailed for the public.

A mess.
