Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

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:

There are millions who voted for this. I don't care if they 'knew' what they were voting for or not. In the end, they voted for a constitutional crisis--they voted to strip any one of us of human rights. They voted for all of us to be at risk and it is unforgivable.
The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

This is the Serbian people protesting their pro-Putin autocratic regime.

Similar uprising in Hungary against GOP darling Viktor Orban.

Our time is coming.
Hundreds of thousands gathered against impunity, autogenocide, and oligarchy. A government that doesn't stand with it's people, stands against them. #3E #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy #SerbiaProtests

Protesters are out in Budapest, Hungary today demanding the resignation of pro-Putin Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Love it!

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

In America an ugly chapter has begun. We understand that this is our time to stand for our principles -no matter the cost. We see fear-we see cowardice. And we see courage too.
This moment calls for moral fortitude & clarity. We are wide awake now. Our best selves are rising to meet the moment.

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships.

Why? His fortune is collapsing.

Nearly all of it is Tesla stock.

You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.

Court rules Trump’s firing of Labor Board Chief, Gwynne Wilcox, illegal and orders she be reinstated.

US framers ‘made clear that no one in our system of government was meant to be king – the President included’, Judge Beryl A. Howell writes.

Donald Trump won less than half of the popular vote—which, given the turnout, amounts to less than one-third of registered voters. His margin of victory was the tightest since 2000, the fourth tightest since 1940.

So no, despite everything Trump claims, he does not have a "mandate" for any of this.

He's hardly the first president to claim he represents the people's will—or God's. But he might be the most brazen.

This....all of this
Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers:

“I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid”

"It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. "

What Trump isn't talking about tonight...

His approval ratings are plummeting

The economy is showing major signs of strain due to his policies

DOGE looks more and more like a giant hoax

The GOP is trying to gut Social Security and Medicaid to pave the way for big tax cuts for the rich

The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%.

We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This is the way.....
In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.

800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.

There is a movement to be harnessed here.
