Steve takes an important business call on his mobile stone.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up.

But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day.

Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus.

If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.

-Strength of its military
-Strength of truthful public information.

All combine to determine power on the global stage.

Thank you!

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.

Cory Booker is STILL GOING

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain.

Jenner Stands Firm | Because Clients Deserve Fearless Advocates On March 25 2025, Jenner & Block filed a lawsuit to stop an unconstitutional executive order that has already been declared unlawful by a federal court. We expect to prevail quickly. For more than 100...

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me.

a picture of Jackie Robinson in uniform, text says: On July 6, 1944, Robinson boarded an Army bus. The driver ordered Robinson to move to the back of the bus, but Robinson refused. The driver called the military police, who took Robinson into custody. He was subsequently court martialed, but he was acquitted. After his acquittal, he was transferred to Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, where he served as a coach for Army athletics until receiving an honorable discharge in November 1944.

A story about how baseball great Jackie Robinson faced discrimination in the military before he broke the color barrier in baseball has been removed from a DOD website.

Great News That's Real Bad for Trump Onward.

After Trump turned The White House into a Tesla dealership for his boss Elon Musk this week, I think we could all use a little more good news today.
