Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

On Tuesday night, Judge Susan Crawford was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a decisive 10-point margin, a rebuke of Elon Musk, who spent $20 million in an attempt to buy the seat. And that's just the beginning. For more progressive victories, don't miss this edition of the Week In Wins.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.
Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours — taking aim at Trump, Musk, and America's 'moral moment'.
Just after hitting the 12-hour mark, Booker said, "I am standing here because of a national crisis that is growing."
