Sen. Cory Booker putting his hand over his heart as he beats Strom Thurmond's floor address record

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.

Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

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.

Everything got so stupid so quickly.

Karma...

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.

If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.

Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

I wanted you to hear directly from me that I have decided not to run for reelection to the Senate in 2026.

I have loved my job, and after 20 years of hard and rewarding work in the public sector, I'm ready to spend more time with my family.

I want to take some time here to explain my decision (🧵)

Elon Musk is bringing in these kinds of guys to root around in people’s data.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Elon Musk is now snooping around in your family’s health insurance records at CMS.

Why? Because he’s on a power trip and wants to see how he can gut their benefits under the guise that things he doesn’t like is “fraud.”

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

As any Freshman economics major will tell Donald, tariffs are imposed on the IMPORTING NATION—NOT the exporting nation. This means AMERICAN businesses will now pay 25% more for many essential goods and raw materials they import from abroad. (1/4)

Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It's the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair.

Now we’re going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.

Senator Smith: What’s so horrible about this moment is that dozens of families are trying to be united with the remains of their loved ones because they died.

And what does Trump do? He tries to turn it into a political thing. He is incapable of taking responsibility for anything he has ever done.

Tweet from the White House Press Secretary: “This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction. The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Senator Tina Smith goes after RFK Jr. and Donald Trump during RFK Jr's Senate confirmation hearing:

"What is clear to me is that you and President Trump are dangerous to women's access to Mifepristone."

Spot on.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

Trump pardons roughly 1,500 criminal defendants charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack The sweeping pardons mark the beginning of the end of one of the largest investigations in FBI history.

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Trump just rescinded an Executive Order issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
 
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

Dr. King spread a message of justice and persisted in the face of hatred.
 
His legacy calls us to serve each other and to continue striving towards a more inclusive and united Minnesota.
