This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

🇺🇸 Cory Booker is now into his 20th hour of urging Americans to get into "good trouble ... necessary trouble." 🇺🇸 “This is not right or left, it is right or wrong,” he said but an hour ago. “This is not a partisan moment, it is a moral moment. Where do you stand?” 🇺🇸 With YOU, my very good man. ✊🏼

Dear journalists: stop giving this administration the benefit of the doubt. Stop using old editorial standards and practices and norms. Assume that everything they say from the get-go is a lie because it always, always, is.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs. So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.
