My daughter - a former @corybooker.com staffer - watched the last few hours of his floor speech from gallery. Said it was spiritual - 25 hrs like Yom Kippur with the same lull around 4 and the same uplift with setting sun like Neilah. Whole caucus was there, many in tears. 🫡 to John Lewis.

The PECO building in Center City Philadelphia has huge LED chyrons we can easily see from our dining table. Over the weekend, they broadcast “we value diversity, equity, and inclusion”. Visiting friends from DC said they see none of that in the District. They felt a little less lonely #Philly

This infrastructure creates prosperity. The average car costs $12,544 annually—fuel, insurance, maintenance, depreciation, financing, and parking—most of which leaves the community. For every 15,000 vehicles a city reduces its rate of ownership, $127 million remains in the local economy each year.

I wasn’t one who decried ABC’s settlement of the Trump defamation “rape” case as craven or “obeying in advance.” Seemed pretty typical after losing motion to dismiss. But CBS settlement of nonsense claim re. 60 mins would be inexcusable, dangerous. freedom.press/issues/legen...
