“Mr. Prada’s disappearance has created concerns that more immigrants have been deported to El Salvador than previously known. It also raises the question of whether some deportees may have been sent to other countries with no record of it.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

I'm listening to argument in Mahmoud v. Taylor, the conservative Christian attack on books with LGBTQ characters in elementary schools, and it is impossible to overstate how contemptuous Sam Alito is of the idea of treating LGBTQ people with respect. He is a rank homophobe. Nancy Mace in a robe.

The other thing to keep in mind is that we aren't in any actual emergencies. Trump and his cabal of evil worms pretend there are emergencies, like at the border, but there simply aren't any (except, of course, the ones Trump's inevitably creating himself). It's just a power grab.

Laura Loomer got the NSA chief fired—someone she’s almost certainly never even met. The guy’s a four-star general with three master’s degrees and over three decades of military service. It’s genuinely hard to believe this is real life.

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws. Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker. That’s America.

#ProudBlue #MomSky Listen to the excitement in @aaronparnas.bsky.social’s voice in this video. Such an honor to see. This moment is especially monumental because Sen Booker beat Sen. Thurmond's record from 1957 when Thurmond was arguing against civil rights. Now a black man beat his record.

Corey Booker has given Democrats much more than a roadmap. He’s given us hope.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

In an act that makes my prostate hurt even thinking about it, Corey Booker showed the only model that will help the Democrats survive—total opposition. He broke segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record. Chuck Schumer should step aside for him tomorrow. www.mind-war.com/p/corey-book...

As of now, this FL-6 story in NYT does not mention that Trump carried the district five months ago, let alone that he carried it by 30 points. I'm not talking about omitting it in headline. I'm talking about the whole story. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

This was a choice. Fine won by 8 pts in the district Mike Waltz won by 30 pts just 5 months ago. That the NYT frames it as “easily won” is a leading reason we are where we are. Headlines matter. Framing matters.
