I would love for the next version of this to be "Dems read out scripts from politically oriented episodes of Star Trek" with appropriate discussion for each episode theme.
Just as a note, for everyone saying "Cory Booker shouldn't have to do this alone," he's not. If you've been watching any of the speech, you'll see that his Dem colleagues have been jumping in all night with "questions" that are actually their own mini-speeches to give him a break. 1/2

the key thing here is that it's very easy to spook a bunch of transport or healthcare wonks into doing whatever with intimidating memos because they lack the institutional knowledge of nature and limits of power, whereas this knowledge is fundamental to any military as powerful as america's
Army guidance on implementing President Trump's order on transgender troops, filed in court today, says to NOT take adverse personnel action against people based on gender identity "at this time" and to continue medical treatment. for gender dysphoria.

it's important to say in plain English what's going on
Instead of prosecuting the mayor of America’s largest city with the ample evidence that he took bribes from a foreign government, the Trump administration decided to leave him in office, and use the threat of charges to blackmail him into carrying out their agenda. And they did it all in the open.

Look, if you're an Illinois governor it's just a matter of time before you end up in jail anyway, so might as well pick a manner that will help your political career rather than sink it
there is such an insane amount of money and clout to be made by any Democratic elected leader willing to get arrested and given a show sentence by Trump right now. if someone like Pritzker spent a couple months in jail they'd raise enough to run for president in t-shirt sales alone
Pritzker: "Let me assure you, the state of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have."
He then repeats a line he first used in his public comments following the election last November: "If you come for my people, you come through me." #twill

The dark side in star wars is the Hotel California of power. "Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face" the dark side is attractive as a fast way to get strong power, it's surface is appealing and there is a grain of truth of embracing true emotions, that hides something sinister

You ever look at someone's piece of otherwise totally chaste, unsexy art and it's just so clear what their niche fetish is. Like we're not just talking classic meat and potatoes boobs and ass, we're talking some underground basement level fetish shit

The state of media for Americans is so completely broken
I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime.
CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants
So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election
