Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.

Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits.

When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

One person did benefit from the biotech company AquaBounty coming to Pioneer, Ohio: the town’s mayor.

His company bought land for $600K before the deal was publicly announced, then flipped that property to AquaBounty for ~$2.1M.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

friendly reminder: just because it's #virabhadrasanaI and #virabhadrasanaII does not mean you sequence them back to back. #WarriorI is closed-hip, narrower stance and #WarriorII is open-hip, wider stance. And definitely don't sequence #virabhadrasanaII to #anjaneyasana or vice versa #yogasky #yoga

Trump has now attacked Ukraine and Zelensky saying that Zelensky is a dictator and that it is Ukraine's fault the war started. Trump has sent his fake delegation to Saudi Arabia to listen to the Russia and agree to all of their demands.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:

They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.

These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.

Not bad in a couple of months time!
