I’ve worked in pub svc for 25yrs; I cannot let a vendor pay for lunch.
This mess is ridiculous.
I hate hearing: we need more businessmen in gov.
(Well, not failed & corrupt businessmen.)
But still, gov is not business, they work towards opposite means.
Business = profit/self-interest, not service.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

The snapback from all this can’t just be another normal Democratic presidency. If we somehow have a free election again we can’t do like Clinton/Obama/Biden and just go back to norms. The norms are literally how the right has been able to get so radical.

It's extortion. "Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)

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.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

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.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

This is an illustration I did for Phoenix when he was about 8.
He came to me one day and described an image he had in mind of a “box of creativity.” Pouring out of it like a flood was every thing he enjoyed. He wanted me to draw it for him.
