Galveston Island, Texas. Sitting in the Gulf of Mexico. 😎

We had 500 protesters out on Galveston Island today—what a turnout! The support was incredible, with cars honking, people cheering, and so much love from the community. It was a beautifully diverse crowd, united and full of heart. Maybe 5% pushback, but the overwhelming majority had our back.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Cory Booker is now in his *third hour* on the Senate floor—still speaking with heart, fire, and fierce conviction.
He’s not just holding the floor—he’s holding the line for democracy.
This is what moral courage looks like.
Keep going, Senator.
We see you.
We stand with you.✊🏽💙

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
