Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their storiesβ€”and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone.

A masterclass in capturing attention.

Well done.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

America Firstβ€”a complete lie. Silencing Voice of America is yet another way the Trump regime diminishes America and strengthens his authoritarian buddies.

That’s a great image. Glad your brother could stand up like this.

I agree with you. A terrific performance that few have mentioned.

We’re going to hear more and more of these kinds of stories. Hope it will add up to an appetite for change.

Stepping away from politics for a moment, trying to decide whether to see the new #CaptainAmerica movie today. Thoughts?

And maybe some politics is involved in that decision. Want to support the success of the new Cap.

Paul Krugman on Leaving the New York Times The paper wanted to take away his newsletter or make him write less frequently, he says.

Now that @pkrugman.bsky.social is free, his work is soaring. Some people (me too) do better when mama is not telling us what to do. www.cjr.org/analysis/pau...

The bishop is a good example to follow. She did something challenging and brave.

Much to my surprise, it seems that 50 folks have decided to follow me without me having done much here. And I’ve been finding plenty of interesting people to follow. So I’m optimistic about building a community here.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.
