He said in interview he actually fasted since Friday and dehydrated himself to prepare! Yikes but wow

Probably had a catheter, but standing and speaking for that long alone is incredible. I get a sore throat from having a student shadow me for a day because it requires so much talking! I hope he had medical on standby and a nice meal and rest waiting.

It was over 300 million likes on tiktok an hour and a half ago. Probably not a record they keep anywhere but I bet it was one

One of many delights of this action. Earlier he flat out said he was enjoying having the ability to tell Chuck no, it was lovely

Senator Cory Booker just broke Strom Thurmond’s record of 24 hours and 18 minutes for the longest solo speech in Senate history. Thurmond used it to block civil rights — Booker used it to fight for justice. The arc of history bends, but only because people pull it. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.

Cory Booker has been speaking for 24 hours and remains cogent, focused, and astute.

A little punch-drunk and hoarse, but impressive as hell. "I'm not going to allow my inability to everything undermine my determination to do something."

Taunting Schumer with "I have the floor you can't talk" was excellent

It's been just about a month since we lost Sophie and just for a tiny moment this morning before I fully woke up I forgot she was gone, I thought oh I better do the litter box and then I remembered. 💔

I don't care about the football but I do hope to see Trump get snubbed again with a rejected white house invite

It looks like green bean casserole with tater tots?

NY Moves to Protect Doctors Who Prescribe Abortion Pills Across States “Reproductive freedom will always be protected in the State of New York,” said New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation into law that reinforces protections for prescribers of abortion pills in the state. The new law permits abortion pill bottles to display the name of the prescribing health care practice instead of the individual provider’s name.

"That is the tension at the heart of Trump’s whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him."

No executive order can truly erase LGBTQIA+ people. We’ve always been here. The sweeping executive orders are supposed to make us feel hopeless. I refuse to let them.

I saw some advice that said to time limit your exposure. Like give yourself fifteen minutes to freak out and to witness what's happening but then go do something useful.

So CVS recognizes customers don't want every single thing behind a locked cabinet but they think we're going to install the app to unlock? No, we're just not going to shop there.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it.

(Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)

Double Dosing Levonorgestrel-Based Emergency Contraception for Individuals With Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial Increasing the dose of levonorgestrel-containing emergency contraception from 1.5 mg to 3 mg did not improve rates of ovulation delay in individuals with obesity.

If you are heavier use a different method, not a doubled dose. It does not work that way. See this 2022 study pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Yes it's cold out but what a pretty sunrise

Family dinner for my SIL's birthday: our usual as loud/bad as possible rendition of happy birthday was interrupted by "um, fire?" as a plastic lid burst into flames on the still-hot stove. Put it out just in time to sing the last line before the birthday candles burned down. One for the books.
