I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

My family and friends decided two months ago that we will no longer buy anything unless it's absolutely necessary. I have never shopped at Amazon or Whole Foods Market. I quit shopping at Target and Walmart. I will only spend my money with companies that stand with our beliefs.

OK, a lot of stuff happened last night. And yes, all DOGE-related. Let's get into it: First, DOGE is trying to gift itself at $500 million building, court filings show.

FUN FACT: Trump’s popularity has plummeted to a new low — 56% of Americans disapprove of his performance, compared to only 42% who approve. The new AP-NORC poll shows Trump to be the most unpopular second-term president in history.

Signal for classified attack plans against Houthi rebels. Now, Gmail for “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict.” Might as well shout it from the rooftops. The carelessness is staggering – and makes all of us less safe.

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Sen. Corey Booker: I've done a few things for 24 hours before. They were all tough. I don't care if you're sitting in a chair for 24 hours...at some point, you start fading...and that's when you have to dig for something deeper. He's still going.🔥

Breaking Thurmond's record while talking about the Civil Rights leaders being called home is an incredible moment in America. This is one for the history books.

The longest filibuster in US history was by Strom Thurmond. He spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes in order to oppose the Civil Rights Act. I think Corey Booker is on a mission, and I think he's going to achieve it.

Working with the Corey Booker filibuster in the background is helping. My shoulders are less clenched, my brow less furrowed, my emails far less terse. Now @alsobrooks.senate.gov is asking a 10 minute question. It's going to be interesting to see who else shows up to support Corey.
