For over 24 hours, Sen. @corybooker.com stood his ground, delivering the longest floor speech in US Senate history. πŸ‘ His words remind us that change happens when we refuse to stay silent. Let’s keep the pressure on.

β€œThese are the times that try men souls: the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country. But he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered,”

Trump & Vance’s bullying of Ukraine was appallingβ€”and it’s not going away. This is about global stability.

Take action:
βœ… Donate: u24.gov.ua – $10 from every Kamala voter = $750M.
βœ… Call: 202-224-3121 – Tell Congress we stand with Ukraine.
βœ… Share: Timothy Snyder’s video on Trump’s failures.

What better day than the national economic blackout to break free from Amazon? As if we needed more reasons, Jeff Bezos announced he is reshaping the Washington Post, silencing oppositionβ€”a blow to press freedom.

Amazon's grip is everywhere, especially for book lovers. Here are some alternatives.

Roswell, Georgia voters booed Rep. Rich McCormick at a town hall after he defended agency firings, claiming AI could replace jobs or cuts were needed to save Social Security and Medicare.

The voters were having none of it. It will get real in 2026 unless these leaders start actually leading. πŸ’ͺ

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
