Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

THIS is what democracy looks like! Awesome to hear from 1,500 constituents in Hampton Roads this weekend at two town halls!
I hear, feel, and understand the frustrations with this chaotic administration. I’m taking all that energy back to the Capitol today.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

You can’t make this up. The Trump admin is erasing images of one of the servicemembers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.
What an outrageous act of disrespect to one of America’s heroes. His name is Pfc. Ira Hayes, and he deserves to be honored.

The Trump Administration’s war on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is all about erasing the history that for too long went untold.
This time, the DOD dishonors the memory of the Navajo Code Talkers who were instrumental to every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

The reason: a diseased population is easier to control. The goal is to destroy America for the benefit of the autocracies these people are allied with.
An FDA vaccine advisory committee meeting scheduled for March to select the strains to be included in next season's flu shot has been canceled, according to a panel member. Officials did not offer an explanation for the scrapped meeting.

I’m so grateful for my Representative! If you have a Republican Rep, please call and tell them to vote no on the budget plan. They need to hear from you!
House Republicans’ budget plan comes to the floor tonight.
It strips healthcare from 80 million people who receive Medicaid and food from 40 million people (1 in 5 children) who receive SNAP.
All to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
That’s a “No” for me.

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!
