Patrick Murray

I don’t know who came up with this, but it’s got my vote for today’s winner of the internet.

All these New Yorkers coming up to say they voted for him. Well, yeah, with ranked choice, probably true.

Mamdani Did All the Things the Establishment Hates. He Won Anyway. There’s a growing appetite for something new and innovative growing among the electorate—and an opportunity for Democrats to grow that electorate, as well.

Opinion | Some say that Andrew Cuomo's defeat in the primary shows that the Democratic establishment has become weak. But I say that the fact that an unpopular disgraced sixty-seven year-old sex offender was able to win 37% of the vote shows that the Democratic establishment is still very strong.

Nice to see both my Alma maters (Lafayette and Rutgers) on board with this. www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

I gather the Trump tariff pause announcement came at 1:20 today.

For all those engaging in Liz Truss comparisons. Remember, she had to deal with a party leadership who ultimately were more afraid of the voters than they were of her. I see little evidence the same is true here.

That’s an empirical question. Depends on who you mean by “right-wing” and how you define “doesn’t matter.” For the Trump politburo it doesn’t matter since their prime directive is to disrupt the world order. For GOP legislators who maintain the charade they are governing, yes that is insane.

At the Cory Booker town hall. There is a well-orchestrated effort to disrupt with pro-Palestinian protestors yelling one at at a time, after the previous one was escorted out. Crowd not happy. Probably would be more effective if they tried to get the microphone.

Reggie Kray, do you know my name?

List of the longest US Senate filibusters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster_in_the_United_States_Senate#Longest_solo_filibusters

The Wikipedia US Senate Filibuster page has been updated

And we have a new leader. Cory Booker remarks on the irony of what was behind the record filibuster he just surpassed. If Strom had prevailed Booker likely wouldn’t be in the Senate.

He's now #2. 45 minutes to go to bump Strom from the top spot.

Booker’s now taken the #3 slot.

Cruz is about to fall from the #4 position. @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com

Still image from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington of a disheveled Jimmy Stewart holding a book.

Shot of @corybooker.com as he heads into hour 21.

Meant to put “filibuster” in quotes since it is technically not.

I was up to 2:30am watching both my US Senators in a filibuster. I shouldn’t have been surprised to wake to @booker.senate.gov still going 13 hours in.

Biking today, stopped by a historic house I always wanted to visit. I knew of its Rev War and Prohibition history. But did not know about its connection to modern public opinion polling until I saw this plaque.

I went to New Haven, played football there.
