One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be 54 percent when these tariffs take effect.

Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.

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.

Liberals easily hold their Wisconsin Supreme Court majority, & Elon Musk fails spectacularly despite illegally bribing voters. Republicans underperform Trump by 16-22 points in Florida's special elections. Sen. Cory Booker's record-breaking 24+ hour filibuster energizes Dems. A bad day for GOP.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

People on here who are poo-pooing Booker underestimate the power of storytelling in politics.

This is a good insight. If tonight goes well, there will be a raft of “Dems in array” takes tomorrow, and Booker’s speech slots perfectly into the “But in recent weeks…” grafs of those pieces.

The Trump admin's response to their very dumb, damaging Signal leak is basically their response to everything: Lie incessantly, invert reality, say it didn't happen while also blaming others for it happening—yes, at the same time—and keep doing so until something else breaks and public focus shifts.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
