Everyone should watch Sen Cory Booker make history today. 🤞🏼
Without any partisan or political angle: I want this to continue long enough for Cory Booker to obliterate segregationist, hypocritical trash-in-the-shape-of-a-person Thurmond from being so much as a footnote in the history of the United States Senate.
Given how he's going, I feel like Cory has it in him to beat it

Really disappointing to hear @gallego.senate.gov express on @podsaveamerica.crooked.com that it’s not politically expedient to speak out about the illegal deportations to El Salvador because it’s a “trap” the GOP laid. Due process is either guaranteed for everyone or it is guaranteed for no one.

Absolutely gutted for the victims of the DCA crash and their families. Sitting in disbelief that this could happen at our airport and in such a heavily controlled airspace but there have been near misses & warnings for years from the aviation community. Hoping there are miraculously some survivors.

So proud to be a constituent of Senator @lisamurkowski.bsky.social!
MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."
