That would be awful. Don’t share this.

This is so gross. And yet the media keeps harping about Biden. Make it make sense.

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

Things I’ve learned this week: Never trust Cory Booker ever again. No matter what show he puts on. He’s not a good one. I should have stuck with my instincts.

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

Meanwhile my beautiful friend is locked in a NJ prison, being forced to tell a man’s family he was taken in the middle of the night to another facility. Guess he’s not white enough. F*ck this administration. apnews.com/article/trum...

Make it make sense

So freaking well deserved. Phenomenal novel.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Everyone should be talking about how amazing the movie Sinners is. #sinnersmovie

Disappointed in Saquon Barkley.

If you’re a football fan and watching the Shedeur Sanders story unfold…and not seeing the underlying meaning to the reaction to him and his draft struggles…you didn’t understand Kendrick’s halftime show.

The US Constitution guarantees due process. Donald Trump is eroding it in real time – we must fight back to restore the balance of power. Today, I’m announcing a series of measures against El Salvador for aiding his unconstitutional deportation scheme.

The difference is stark. Guess which is from the grifter who sells his own bible….

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

It only took 250 years….

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

FAFO

Glad to see it but I wonder how many voted for Harris and how many didn’t turn until it affected them personally.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Just so you understand, the USA will never be the same. Our global standing will never be the same. We may, in time, be able to repair some of this shit. But it will never be the same.

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Fox removed the stock market ticker from their broadcasts.

@wendys-usa.com You need to make the fish sandwiches year round!! Pleeeeeeeeeease.

Today was a good day. @booker.senate.gov And the people of Wisconsin who didn’t let a corrupt billionaire and idiot megalomaniac decide their state’s Supreme Court makeup. 💙💙💙

I think the remarkable thing about Cory Booker's speech is that much of it is *a good speech*. He's not just filling time, he's using time while the spotlights on him.

Cory Booker about to morph into his second stage JRPG boss form

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Proud of @booker.senate.gov. NJ strong. The moment he passed the racist pig Thurmond’s record.

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.'"

If you want to see all the Senators supporting @booker.senate.gov, you can see the list here: www.dailypress.senate.gov

“the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied”

Senator @booker.senate.gov is still on the floor. 16 hours and 24 minutes. He is now blocking the confirmation of Matthew Whitaker to NATO. GO, CORY, GO!

So damn proud of these democratic senators. So. Damn. Proud. We can criticize when they aren’t reflecting our desires but we MUST commend when they listen and adjust and take action.

I’ve been quick to criticize @booker.senate.gov about his lack of visible action these last several months. Now I need to say THANK YOU. THIS is what all of your colleagues need to start doing. Today you made me proud to be from NJ. 💙💙💙 #goodtrouble

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

FUCK TRUMP. FUCK NOEM. FUCK ELON. FUCK VANCE. FUCK. THEM. ALL. www.facebook.com/share/1AyzEJ...
