Elon Musk spent millions in a failed scheme to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat.
Voters decisively rejected Donald Trump, Musk and the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand.
Back up off the American people.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

Up against the richest man in the world spending more than anyone's ever spent in a judicial race, Susan Crawford never wavered. Never cowered. Kept fighting.

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes).
Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster!
Come on, Cory!!!!!

This is amazing.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I don’t think this is a huge win, but my hunch early on was that Roberts would swing back hard against executive abuse. For all of his terrible votes during Biden’s presidency, he hates the “politicization of the court”, which is basically the whole P2025 end game, right?
In a rare statement, Chief Justice John Roberts called judicial impeachment "not an appropriate response" to disagreeing with a judge's decision.
He made the comments after Trump called for the impeachment of a federal judge who blocked the administration's deportation flights. to.pbs.org/43RBatE

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Two things happen today at the exact same time
1st, 10 Ds voted to censure Al Green.
2nd, a huge group of Democrats standing in the well in solidarity with Al Green and singing “we shall overcome”
