Kinda pissed off that it took this revelation to get the Signal scandal back in the news β€”- it never should have become a forgotten issue.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

LIVE: Cory Booker speaks on the Senate floor
YouTube video by Associated Press LIVE: Cory Booker speaks on the Senate floor

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

No, you should feel no obligation to watch Trump's speech. That's why God invented transcripts.

Vice Is a Moat If Pete Hegseth is confirmed, it won’t be in spite of his personal failings. It’ll be because of them.

"Looking at this, you’re probably asking yourself, β€œHow is this guy getting a confirmation hearing at all? Especially with his personal vices?” But that’s the key. Hegseth isn’t getting a hearing in spite of his vices. He’s getting this hearing because of them."

The most badass pilots in the world are the men and women doing air drops from choppers and fixed wing aircraft over the fires.
If Tom Cruise makes a Top Gun 3, it should be about them.

πŸ“ŒNYT REPORTING: "Other defendants (for the same offense) received prison time or were sentenced to probation, conditional discharges, community service or fines. NO OTHER DEFENDANT in the cases examined received an unconditional discharge."

Please stop referring to Anita Bryant as a "crusader." She wasn't a crusader, she was a mean-spirited bigot.

I wonder if the Jimmy Carter of 1976, were he to be able to run for president in 2028, would have a chance to get through the primaries, no less win the electoral college.
