Sen. Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and announced he’s holding it until he’s no longer physically able as a protest against Trump. It’s probably the best idea any Senate Democrat has had in months. Love it.

My senator @booker.senate.gov is rising to meet this moment, refusing to let the Senate pretend things are normal. How about yours? If they're a Democrat, call them and ask them to join Booker in this stand. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

The government agencies Musk is looting belong to us. We’ve paid for them with taxes. They’re ours, and this greedy apartheid failson is stealing our stuff. I wish more people took this to heart.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

Today I'm thinking about the parable of Ibrahim, the ant, and the fire. "Yes," said the ant. "The bonfire is large, and I can only carry this droplet of water; it will vanish. But..." "But what?" the eagle asked. "But at least it's clear whose side I am on."
