TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Signal for classified attack plans against Houthi rebels. Now, Gmail for “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict.” Might as well shout it from the rooftops. The carelessness is staggering – and makes all of us less safe.

What people need to understand about what Cory Booker has done that’s different from anyone before is that his speech is being delivered on topic and on point and should be printed and made available for everyone to read … The feed is still ongoing and you can see it on his YouTube channel
