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.'"

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

When I got a PhD in nineteenth-century political history, I really, truly never imagined I would have to find a way to explain to readers what an eggplant emoji means. (Wired reported more Signalgate Venmo accounts.) I yearn for the day when I can write about good, clean fun like tax policy again.

Does this administration give 2 fucks about crime that's not committed by migrants/POC? Bc whenever I see Patel, Bondi, Noem and/or Homan go before the cameras w/ a brag it always has to do with a black/brown immigrant...as if there's no serious crimes committed by whites 🤨

Fact/Reality Check: None of the top TEN leading killers in the US are infectious diseases. Meaning, RFK Jr’s idea of “refocusing” the CDC on just infectious disease might fool some, but is an unserious and nonsensical idea. Empathy for the many HHS workers suffering under this regime.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.
