A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.
As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Andre Ill "Trey" Howard, 10, saved his younger sister from the plane crash in Philadelphia.
While sitting in a car with her, the plane crashed nearby throwing debris everywhere. He yelled "get down" and grabbed her.

This is absolutely insane.
Donald Trump suggests he will only provide aid to California if they pass a voter ID law.
Then he said he’ll put no conditions on North Carolina, a state that voted for him.
What a petty, evil man.
