History in the making: Senator Cory Booker just broke the record for the longest standing filibuster in U.S. history—24 hours and 19 minutes and counting. This is what courage & conviction look like. That was a hell of a speech. So very proud of him. This is the way!

EMPATHY IS A STRENGTH.
Empathy is not at
ALL a weakness.
Empathy is a deep strength within one's
heart and mind that REQUIRES a person
to reach out and care for people BEYOND themselves.

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability.
The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many.
If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.

On a 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.”
So why has the company still sold less than 50,000 trucks since customer deliveries began 14 months ago?

‘Over 1 Million’ People Wanted a Cybertruck. Where Are They?
“Demand is off the charts!” Elon Musk crowed at the end of 2023, citing more than a million reservations for Tesla's polarizing polygonic pickup—so why has it still sold less than 50,000?

Most Americans have no idea how much goodwill is generated by USAID around the world. That goodwill keeps Americans safer. The budget is minuscule compared to others and 97% must be spent on American products.

It took since 1887 to build up the greatest biomedical research apparatus in the world. It’ll take a few ignorant dickheads a few months to tear its heart out.
Per a source (and similar post on Reddit, fwiw), NIH RIF plan may centralize and cut the number of institutes and centers by around half.
