Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

Replace Chuck Schumer with Cory Booker. That’s it. That’s the skeet.

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

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

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

"Missing Congressman' flier that's being shared around #NY17. Our GOP Rep. Mike Lawler has been absent from his district - avoiding town halls per the request of his bosses in the House GOP - and quite frankly, we're beginning to worry.

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

I’m producing a play. We open next week. It feels both unseemly and essential to go on living life like democracy isn’t unraveling… But I am very proud of the play. And it makes me feel better being creative/productive. Still… idk you guys… It’s a weird moment to try to make art.

interested to see what happens when the social security checks stop flowing

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Mike Lawler: "I've been very clear: I will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid." (Bookmark this one.)

The People Carrying Out Musk’s Plans at DOGE Save this NYT’s piece as a comprehensive list of the names behind DOGE—the unsanctioned agency dismantling our government and not actually efficient or transparent about waste or fraud. DOGE IS THE FRAUD!

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

When my son was 8yo or so he explained to me why he didn’t want light up sneakers. He was afraid they would make him a target if he ever needed to run/hide. I told him how smart he is and how proud of him I am and then I went into the bathroom and cried.

“Shadow Minister” acct for Mike Lawler on ig @Lawler_Watch_NY17 Give a follow! Spread the word! Let’s get the shadow account more followers than the actual account of #magamike

ID Woman Dragged Out Of GOP Town Hall For Shouting Questions: A scene that should horrify any American erupted at an Idaho town hall Saturday. A woman named Teresa Borrenpohl was literally dragged out by security for talking back to the emcee. The video above has some excellent commentary by…

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Hey don’t email [email protected] and waste poor Elon’s time. He and the DOGEbags are doing important, big boy work and it would be childish to spam them with pointless BS 😏

Idk why there wasn’t more press coverage of the protest yesterday… there were hundreds of people in the streets @nytimes.com wtf?

Meanwhile, in #newyorkcity we marched from Union Square to Washington Square in #protest of the Trump regime and the capitulation of our corrupt mayor

Mike Lawler didn’t want to talk to us. Coward.

Protest outside Sleepy Hollow High School where Congressman Mike Lawler is taking the *pre-approved* questions of students. He didn’t want to take our questions… just drive by… Lawler is co-sponsoring HR 22 also known as the Save Act. It’s an incredibly dangerous piece of legislation…

I just hope both teams denounce the emerging oligarchy 🥰

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

I don’t condone violence of any kind… But if I had a dragon right now… 🔥 🐉 #burnitalldown

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

ICE was in my town yesterday. Parked down the block from the elementary school. We knew it would happen. We were ready. But it still makes me sick…

Yes, you saw it. We all saw it. Don’t you dare let anyone tell you it wasn’t what you think it was.

The important thing to remember is even if Trump “saves” Tik Tok he’s *still a fascist*

To any woman who needs to hear this: aidaccess.org will mail reproductive healthcare to your house discreetly and will work with you on prices. woman will donate money to help other women get the care they need. PASS IT ON folks. #Obgynsky #Medsky

Tik Tok was banned because our government was losing control of the narrative. The truth is irrelevant if you control the story. The story is everything. It’s the source of your power. But when the masses begin to reject the story, when they start to realize you’re an unreliable narrator…

Thoughts?
