That said, if the Senator stopped now, this was still a great moment, and an important display for the American people.

Really hoping that Sen. Booker overtakes the 24 hours and 18 minute record held by Strom Thurmond for his protest of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 to make this our nation's longest legislative protest.

You often hear the Right complain of the Left's politicization of tragedy, but no one seems to politicize tragedy more than Donald Trump.

Elon Musk just spoke at an AfD rally in Germany and said he thinks Germans focus too much on "past guilt" and need to "move beyond that."

If it walks like a Nazi, salutes like a Nazi, and talks like a Nazi, it's a Nazi.

Congress conferred full birthright citizenship to Native Americans in 1924, already absurd to have taken so long (or any time at all), but now Trump wants to question even that.
