Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Wisconsin's Supreme Court election wasn't just about judges. It was about whether democracy could defeat oligarchy in the form of Elon Musk. Last night, democracy won.

Between Susan Crawford and Cory Booker, the "defiance" got a big adrenaline boost last night. Let's keep it going! www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Cory Booker Makes History. Donald Trump Will Never Erase It.
The New Jersey senator broke Strom Thurmond’s record for speaking on the Senate floor. May Booker break the back of the neo-segregationism that Trump represents.

What happens if the courts can't stop the Trump Administration? “Then we’ve got to take to the streets in a different way,” Anthony Romero, the executive director of the A.C.L.U., tells David Remnick. “We've got to shut down this country.”

How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money.
It’s all a façade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.
