LET THIS SINK IN…this is where we are. A Communist country is throwing the words of one of OUR former presidents back at us, in order to save us from our current potus’ insane, American & global markets crashing, tariff policy.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

A President saying he won an election he lost is not a “distraction.” It’s a lie, it’s an attack on democracy, and it must be condemned.

A President saying he can ignore the Constitution & run for a 3rd term is not a “distraction.” It’s a lie, it’s an attack on democracy, and it must be condemned.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations.

That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group.

This is corruption of the highest degree.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

9yrs ago, his presidential campaign colluded with Putin.

7yrs ago, he sided with Putin in Helsinki and gave his middle finger to our intelligence community.

6yrs ago, he was impeached for extorting Zelensky.

None of this is surprising. Trump’s with Putin. He has always been.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.

It's shameful and dangerous.

I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.
Omg. This is a thread. Every one should be appalled. 1/5
