Sen. Cory Booker is still going. More than 16 hours.
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."

I'm looking for a HIPAA expert to talk to — lawyer, professor, anyone reputable. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I have a buddy who I convinced to switch to computer science at a horrible time, and he's about to graduate. If you are looking for a intern who doesn't require competitive pay.. he's really wanting to get workforce experience.

dm me, remote anywhere or in-office around boise.

There is something deeply wrong with elected officials avoiding contact with constituents. Almost as though they are working for someone else.

Not watching tonight's Nazi speech?

Join us for the "I'd rather watch paint dry" hangout

No planned topic, just planning not to watch the Nazi.
We might talk "connecting the dots" or security, or protests, or favorite kitchen appliances.. 🤷‍♂️

Trying hard lately to support local businesses over my usual chain go-tos, and I've discovered two coffee shops owned by immigrants with amazing homemade food and coffee. Highly recommend Antigua Coffee and Sunflower Cafe.

hey #Idaho give Terri a follow.
It’s time for a change in the Governor’s office. Idaho needs leaders who prioritize our public schools—not ones who undermine them with school voucher schemes. Governor Little’s unwavering loyalty to Trump is so extreme that it's surprising he could see clearly enough to sign HB93.

Unbelievable. With a 10 to 1 opposition, Governor Little demonstrated that he genuninely does NOT care about Idahoans. He just voted yes on the school voucher scheme.

Join me and sharing your disappointment with him:

AND THEN VOTE HIM OUT IN 2026!

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

Idaho-call the governors office 208-334-2100.  The recording will ask if you are calling about HB93, the school voucher bill.  Press 1 (yes).  When it asks if you want Gov. Little to sign or veto, select VETO (option 2).  Took less than 30 seconds.  Pass along to anyone supporting public education.
