Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

The thing about the Cracker Barrel uproar is that it’s a perfect illustration of how these people are in charge of everything, they’re running the entire country and diminishing Dem power at every turn and they are STILL UNHAPPY. Their entire brand is “angry and oppressed” and it always will be.

He did it. Sen. Cory Booker now holds the record for the longest Senate speech in U.S. history.
After the applause ends, Booker says he plans to go longer, and one senator shouts "24 more!"

Near as I can tell, if Sen. Booker speaks for roughly three more hours — and he still seems pretty energetic at the moment — he'll beat the longest floor speech in U.S. Senate history: Senator Strom Thurmond's 1957 speech in opposition to Civil Rights Act.
