Yeah, but after a good 4/1 joke you usually get to scream, "Kidding - April Fools Day!"

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Booker has peppered his filibuster with discussion of the Civil Rights movement over and over. But if he spent the last half hour of breaking Strom's record by focusing on that, it would not suck.

UPDATE: Cory Booker is 15 minutes away from holding the Senate floor for a full day and only 34 minutes from holding the floor longer than any person in history.

Meanwhile his TikTok livestream has over 230,000,000 LIKES.

Yes, trickle down economics is a hoax-and it has been proven for over 50 yrs! Wake up America! Stop helping the rich get richer and stop giving away the few crumbs we have left over for the rest of us!!
The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.

"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."
If the Marshals Go Rogue, Courts Have Other Ways to Enforce their Orders

DOGE is a major con!!
NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.”

The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are.

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed
