Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

Who needs funding for child vaccinations and mental health? Certainly not the State of Alabama. We'll be just fine without $239 million dollars...

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.”
Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion.
In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.

Donald Trump Just Proved He’s an Economic Idiot. Again.
His MAGA sycophants knew all along that his central economic proposal was a sham, but they repeated his lies. And now the economy is cracking.

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
