Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years.

Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism.

May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

There’s no place on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for corrupt judges like Brad Schimel.

We need a justice who will look out for everyday people’s rights and freedoms. Vote for Judge Crawford on April 1st!

Elon Musk says he's going to "fix" X's community notes system because he disagrees with a note on President Trump's claim that Zelensky has a 4% approval rating in Ukraine.

Musk also claims community notes are "being gamed by governments & legacy media", but provides no evidence for that claim.

Hi, I'm Kate, a researcher at the University of Washington studying rumors and disinformation. I post a lot about my research and about my dog, Ruby. :)

Prosecutors in New York are doing more to counter the abuse of power from the Trump administration than our elected officials in DC. Integrity in action.

We are not far away from your spouse’s cancer trial stopping, your parent’s Alzheimer’s clinical trial evaporating, your teen’s mental health intervention disappearing. It’s easy to attack universities, but the recent actions from the White House will stop cutting edge medical research very quickly.
