Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

“The message is that if you’re going to indict some run-of-the-mill CEO, you need to check if he’s a Trump supporter first... It’s going to cause line prosecutors to be considerably more careful about pursuing anyone who has even tenuous connections to the president." www.latimes.com/california/s...
