I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Almost 30 years ago, in "Life as We Know It," I described Gingrich Republicans as people who would kick the crutches out from under Tiny Tim. Jack Fowler of the National Review, a high school classmate of mine, wrote to me to object. And now here we are.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

While many will talk about this being a “win” for Democrats or a “loss” for the GOP and Elon Musk, this is a victory for Wisconsin’s people. Wisconsin’s farmers, nurses, teachers, retail workers all won tonight.

Today, our voice was heard. We voted against Elon Musk's attempts to buy our Supreme Court election. We voted against bullying and tyranny. One vote, one judge at a time. We will hold fast and strong. In this moment, I am proud. On, Wisconsin!! 💕

The American people sent a clear message tonight. They do not want a court that will let Trump destroy the United States of America. A liberal candidate for a pivotal seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court overcame $25 million in spending from Elon

Every day I am shocked by the actions that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have taken. I know that their recklessness is causing real and harmful damage to our nation, but you don’t just have to take me at my word. You can see just a few of the many examples for yourself 🧵

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

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.

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:

Why give front page prominence to such lies and propaganda? The UK press always seems to run with the far-rights views as most prominent. Why not “Le Pen in denial, seeks to spin her conviction”?

Growth is totally dependent upon people having enough money to spend. Without the redistribution of wealth in the UK, that is not going to happen. youtu.be/8Xu2x3AwOKM?...

Why don't economic commentators, like Martin Wolf at the FT, appear to know that if you want growth in the current stagnant UK economy, the best way to deliver it is by redistributing wealth? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

Just now realizing a large portion of the electorate, especially rich guys, confuse being smart with Being Awake All The Time™. Donald Trump? Hasn't slept more than 3 hours since 1967. Elon Musk? Awake full-time since Halloween. Stephen A. Smith? $100 mill. from ESPN, eyes always open like a fish.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !
