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 Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.
Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

This is such a great point. It may take awhile and a lot of work, but we will come through this.
Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Correct. A crisis in which the actual elected president affirmatively seeks to dispense with the Constitution and laws he swore to preserve, protect, and defend, and has ceded control of critical executive functions to an unsupervised and unelected oligarch who has become his master.

One of my international friends told me this morning that they weren't really sure they wanted to visit right now given the US's "political situation" and it had very "maybe we shouldn't visit this third world country right after its coup" vibes.
And I can't say they're wrong.
