Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile. Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.

Find hope in rebuilding even if you can't see any. Transitional justice in post-conflict societies was my specialization during my degrees. Never thought using it for my country would happen. We can create better. This is exposing the rot. We can heal through unprecedented change.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Listen to what she says. Repost. Send it to friends. If all it is is we the people than it’s we the people. Remember this, we are ordinary citizens. Teachers, chefs, lawyers, judges, nurses, cashiers, autoworkers, homeless parents, docs, electricians, mechanics, immigrants, veterans. We the people!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake. Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back. If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe. Kilmar is all of us.

A man’s gotta have a code. Trump’s code is that the Saudis are paying him millions to host the golf tournament, so that’s where he is.

Senator Sanders is in the chamber now giving an emotional speech about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. There are no other senators in the chamber listening to him.

I'm frankly pissed that Schumer felt it necessary to jump in and try to usurp the moment.

Garcia: People on the ground have no interest in us holding hands with Republicans while they steamroll our priorities and our rights. They want us to fight. And I think you’re seeing a lot of Democrats now taking that fight directly to Republicans, directly to Elon Musk.

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.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

I think the remarkable thing about Cory Booker's speech is that much of it is a good speech. He's not just filling time, he's using time while the spotlights on him.

I know Cory Booker has done something great here because rightwing trolls are working overtime to downplay it.

Trump went all in. Musk went all in. Said western civilization would end. Bought votes. Presler set up shop there. Kirk and all the podcasters went all in. The whole MAGA machine got behind Schimel. $53 million in spending including PACs. But Susan Crawford won easily.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Senator Cory Booker concludes his record-breaking Senate Floor speech after 25 hours Massive applause for Booker

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

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.

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."

When's the last time you heard an "I'm sorry, I fucked this up" from a person in power like this? Voters like someone who is strong enough to do a mea culpa. You won't find anyone in this administration or anyone in the GOP ever admit to screwing up. This is big for me.
