Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

📢 Hey #Chicago, are you ready to go this Saturday, April 05?! Get ready to hit the streets and get loud for #democracy! If you can't make it downtown, there are plenty of other events in #Illinois! Find your event: handsoff2025.com #protests #handsoff #politics #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings

Hey Chicago! Fired up by our big win in Wisconsin last night? Eager to step up after watching Sen. Cory Booker’s 25 hour marathon for “our moral moment”? Our partner @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social needs volunteers for Saturday’s Hands Off rally. Who’s ready to meet the moment?!?

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

🔥Senator @corybooker.com: Let this be the moment that you say: ‘Enough is enough.’ Stand up, speak up, and push this president back from hurting fellow Americans.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

All these tariffs mean we're all billionaires now, right? Pretty sure that's what I was told.

Whirlpool and Stellantis are laying off workers. We're about to see mass layoffs in the private sector like we did during the pandemic in Donald Trump's first term. Donald "Herbert Hoover" Trump is a trainwreck.

Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs are designed to liberate Americans from their hard-earned cash and will: - Make groceries more expensive - Crash markets and retirements - And make it harder to build and make things in America. How do we know? Anyone…anyone? Because, we know. The chaos must end.

Amazing response by @katmabu.bsky.social. This is exactly it - give people something to vote for and they'll show up. Any Democrat can start doing it now, but I think we're going to have to force them or remove them. #TeamFight

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel. That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

I don't know how the US can sit here and ignore our 1.66 birth rate. We need to make having and raising kids affordable. That means universal pre-k and universal healthcare. If we don't, we're not escaping the demographic freight train. #Kurzgesagt youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk?...

Last night in Wisconsin. Voters understood the assignment.

Workers who want to join unions should not be afraid of big corporations like Wells Fargo. Workers must be able to bargain for better wages, better hours, and better working conditions without illegal corporate intervention. We must pass the PRO Act.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Senator Tim Kaine pushing to block Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada: "Tariffs are a tax. Tariffs will hurt our families. Canada is not an enemy. Let's act together to fight fentanyl...but let's not label an ally as an enemy, let's not impose punishing costs on American families..." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tonight is a damn good night for democracy and the Constitution. Thank you for showing up, Wisconsin!!! 🙌

Let’s fucking go.

imagine being the richest man in the world and pulling so many desperate, pathetic tactics for this to go your way and yet —

@booker.senate.gov gives a tremendous effort in response to the frustrations of his constituents, Wisconsin gave a big middle finger to Musk, and my local township trustee Dems (all great people) flipped their seats blue! Great day & night when we really needed it! #LocalElectionsMatter #TeamFight

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor: “Let's get in good trouble." What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations @egtdems.bsky.social! Clean sweep!!

Great work @booker.senate.gov! Job is far from finished, really hasn't started, but I can appreciate effort when I see it. Keep listening and keep fighting! #TeamFight #BookerForMinorityLeader

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

Senator Cory Booker has now beaten Ted Cruz' record for a speech on the Senate floor (21 hours and 19 minutes) in 2013. Way to go, Cory!!!!!! Next up: Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon who lasted 22 hours and 26 minutes in 1953. And only 3 hours to beat Strom Thurman's all-time record! Keep going!

Senator Cory Booker has started his 19th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster. "I don't understand how we can be a nation with so much wealth and abundance and we haven't figured out a way to design a system where, when you invest in the wellbeing of people, people thrive." Bravo, Cory!

Trump is gutting the VA and firing more Veterans than any other President in modern history. It’s a complete betrayal to those who answer the call to defend us. I’m helping Senator Booker hold the floor to show that unlike Republicans— Democrats have our heroes’ backs.

Welp, we tried to run bipartisan legislation so that Members with newborns could vote remotely, and rather than allow the legislation—the Speaker SHUT THE HOUSE DOWN and canceled votes for the rest of the week.  This is what’s happening in the House right now. ⬇️

Corey Booker will beat Strom Thurman’s record and without dinner and bathroom breaks. That ain’t nuthin

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you haven't loved her enough." Corey Booker, just now.

@booker.senate.gov for minority leader!!!

"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.

Wisconsin, don’t let Elon Musk buy your Supreme Court! Vote for Judge Susan Crawford today. Find your polling place here:

If you live in Wisconsin or in the 6th congressional district of Florida you’ll have a chance to do something the rest of us only dream about doing... [It's also an election day in many other parts of the country, too.] https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-you-live-in-wisconsin-or-floridas

@booker.senate.gov has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 20 HOURS and counting. #RESPECT

MAGA is scared, Wisconsin! Give Elon Musk the bird, and make them cry salty tears tonight. Get out and vote for Susan Crawford!

@booker.senate.gov thank you

Senator @duckworth.senate.gov has just shown up in support for Senator @booker.senate.gov's filibuster. Thank you for showing up for IL, Tammy! #TeamFight

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes). Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster! Come on, Cory!!!!!

📣 Wisconsin! 📣 Your state’s Supreme Court is on the line. Cast your vote for Judge Susan Crawford. Go to IWillVote.com to confirm your polling place.

"This time of despair and darkness doesn't demand more darkness, we don't need to demean and degrade those who don't agree with us, this is a time to do something bigger than that." Cory Booker explains how people are looking for leadership from the Democratic Party and other citizens.

Everyone should call Corey Booker and leave a message of support for his tremendous effort last night! (202) 224-3224. They need to hear from us when they do good, as well as not so good.

We salute 🫡 Sen. Corey Booker for honoring the legacy of the late John Lewis by getting in “Good Trouble” and disrupting business as usual on the Senate floor because we know the last 70 days have NOT been normal.

Please let him know you support his efforts (202) 224-3224 @booker.senate.gov

What Cory Booker is doing right now is amazing; full stop.

If you’re in Wisconsin, go vote!

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Senator Cory Booker is riffing about MLK Jr. on the Senate floor nearly 20 hours into his filibuster. He's so good at this! Thank you, Cory! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
