It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.
Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

UPS set to lay off 20,000 workers as it reduces business with Amazon
The shipping giant said the moves were expected to save $3.5 billion and were made in anticipation of “lower volumes from our largest customer,” which is Amazon.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for standing up for all of New Jersey. Breaking the record for the longest floor speech ever is an incredible accomplishment.

Booker's marathon speech breaks the previous record — Sen. Strom Thurmond's filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 that stretched for 24 hours and 18 minutes.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
