Booker on Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here in spite of his speech. I'm here because as poweful as he was, the people were more powerful."

What an extraordinary thing. Not just for Senator Booker but for New Jersey and the millions of Americans he spoke for today. This is an extraordinary moment that demands us to act and build a better future for our country.

While posing a question to Senator Cory Booker this morning Senator Van Hollen described the first 72 days of the Trump presidency as “The Great Betrayal”. On April 5th I will be brandishing a sign that shouts: STOP THE GREAT BETRAYAL

In an effort to suppress minority representation, Greg Abbott refuses to set a special election for Texas 18th district which is 44 percent Hispanic and 33 percent black. These people could go unrepresented for two years.

A lot of Booker's staff clearly worked quite hard to prepare for this speech. He is continuing with a coherent presentation after ten hours and 19 minutes.

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

Mike Johnson is freaking out - the war in Ukraine is going so poorly Putin may have to lay off a dozen Republican Congressmen.

Putin found out a long time ago it's much harder taking over Ukraine than the Republican Party.

The editorial in this week's monopoly round up is a tour de force. The most interesting thread he is amplifying this week is an observation about valuations: we have been digesting our own economic muscles to drive asset and equity valuations for 40 years. And we're running out of fuel.

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American. 🧵1/

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is extremely alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid. “White House fires a career prosecutor” is itself unprecedented. www.latimes.com/california/s...

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

If the military academies are purging libraries of “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Einstein on Race and Racism,” and a biography on Jackie Robinson, how long will it be before they eliminate classes on the Geneva Conventions and military obligations under international laws of war?

Stripping civil service unions of their rights is an attack on the values and principles that built the middle class. This attempt at union busting is another malicious action that will hurt public services and increase the burden on working Americans.

Targeting lawyers for doing their jobs is illegal, dangerous, and a grave threat to the rule of law. Glad to see this unlawful behavior halted and the rule of law upheld. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and...

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The real lunatic here is Marco Rubio trampling over people’s First Amendment rights. It is shameful that an individual who says his family was the victim of an authoritarian regime would send hooded agents to disappear people because of controversial speech.

We are deporting innocent men without any due process to a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer, autism awareness, and loving their mothers.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.

Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal. Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
