I watch all of the political stuff so you don't have to.
So here's a thing I just noticed. The WH ended up delaying the #trumpannouncement by 50 minutes(ish). The entire event, as we saw it, only lasted 50 minutes(ish).
I am *not* drawing any conclusions here. I'm just noticing the timing.

Trump: I settled seven wars and numerous wars of those were because of trade and I settled them because of tarriffs.

Okay, everybody. It's almost time for that important "Announcement" that's going to happen in the oval office. I have both the White House live feed and the KTVU live feed (via YouTube) up. Let's do this.

After 25+ hours, Booker yields the floor. The chamber erupts into cheers and then an Idaho senator (I didn't catch his name) calls for a vote on Trump's nominee for NATO ambassador. and turns the floor over to Joni Ernst. Nobody else in the chamber cares.

And now that he's broken the record, is he congratulating or bragging about himself? No. He's thanking his staff and bragging about how awesome they are. He's thanking his mother. He's thanking the people who helped him.

It would be so easy for Booker to just rail against the administration and its supporters, but he isn't. He's calling for compassion, vision, and he's pleading with everybody to remember and recognize the power we each have as voters. He's reminding us what we can do together.

What will Booker accomplish? I don't know. But, as someone who has spent every day since the inauguration begging for someone with power to DO SOMETHING to stop TFG and his toadies? This sure feels a hell of a lot better than the "concerns" that have been expressed so far, and that? Ain't nothin'.

At his Ed Dept EO signing today, Trump had a group of little kids seated at school desks up near the podium while he spoke. That's just sick.

TFG is literally ordering his Transportation Secretary and acting FAA administrator to find any way they can to make the crash Biden's fault. And DEI's fault. And possibly Obama's fault.

P.S. One more thing:
The Harris campaign has been warning about this for days now, but it bears saying again.
Trump will probably try to declare victory tonight. Do not fall for it, and denounce it loudly.
Team Harris is also expecting it, and they are prepared to act.

Also. Please, please remember:
The west coast is still voting AND disinformation is out in full force right now.
Please do not spread wrong information that might unintentionally depress the vote on the west coast. Check your facts before sharing ANYTHING.
