"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat."

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

With everything going on, I know it’s hard to stay focused on any one example of this administration’s reckless incompetence. Read my take in the WSJ on why Signalgate is still worth paying attention to and why it's tremendously damaging for our nation. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

If Trump & Musk have suffered an unprecedented number of judicial injunctions, it is because they have committed an unprecedented number of illegal actions. We don’t have rogue district judges, we have a rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day. Watch my statement:

The New Jersey Democrat spent more than 25 hours criticizing the Trump administration's policies on immigration, education, the economy and more since 7 p.m. ET Monday. He ended his marathon speech shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.

More action. Less posting.

Cory Booker held the Senate floor with a marathon speech lasting all of Monday night & into Tuesday afternoon in a remarkable feat of endurance to show Democrats’ objections to Trump’s agenda. Booker said he'd remain there as long as he was “physically able.” Over 21 hours later, he's still going.

The Trump Administration wants to sweep this under the rug. We’re not going to let them.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Let’s go @booker.senate.gov Do not yield the Senate Floor until the next Democratic Senator steps up to take your place!

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

Cory Booker has just crossed the 19 hour line. Five hours and 13 minutes more and he will break Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech in the history of the U.S. Senate. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

I think this makes @booker.senate.gov the Josh Hart of the Senate. Still, I'm worried he'll be burned out before the playoffs. Thibs should trust his bench more.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Breaking News: In an embarrassing defeat, Speaker Mike Johnson failed to kill a measure to allow remote voting for House members after the birth of a child.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Conflicts of interest allllll way down

@schumer.senate.gov resign

@schumer.senate.gov resign, you coward -everyone in nyc

Schumer is done as Senate minority leader. It’s only a matter of time.

@schumer.senate.gov resign, you coward

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

‼️‼️ I will raise money to help fund a primary challenge against ANY Democratic senator who votes YES on cloture or YES on the Republican spending bill.

There are many Democrats who don’t agree with some or many of AOC’s policy ideas. But what she gets and more conventional Democrats do not is that political fight can be catalyzing and transformative. You can change the shape of the playing board in ways … www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

I would support this! We need to primary the dinosaurs.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

@schumer.senate.gov fucking coward. Resign

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight
