Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

I had no idea when I subscribed to The Atlantic to read folks like Tom Nichols, that the subscription included screenshots of text chats about US attack plans. 👊🇺🇸🔥

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans: 1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk. 2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.

This story is fucking bonkers

Apparently Trump illegally fired both Democratic FTC Commissioners, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya ( @bedoyaftc.bsky.social ), today. That's... a problem.

Do you knit? If you haven’t knit one of Romi Hill’s designs, you should definitely check them out I think she’s best known for stunning lace, but she also has fun hats & accessories When I’m stuck in a hospital waiting room, her Bitsa Bowls pattern is one of my go-to stress relievers #knitsky 🧶
