Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

The 2024 Nation’s Report Card shows Illinois’ 8th graders outperforming the national average in both math and reading, a testament to the academic strides Illinois students are making. Congrats to our students, parents, and all the dedicated educators who made this possible!

FYI @sanders.senate.gov is right– we MUST fight back against the billionaires who want to destroy Medicaid as we know it!
A tweet from Sen. Bernie Sanders that says, "At a time of massive income inequality, Trump wants more tax breaks for billionaires. He wants to pay for those tax cuts by throwing millions off of Medicaid. Unacceptable. We must fight back. Health care is a human right. Billionaires must pay their fair share in taxes."

Republicans: You have to stop lowering the standards for people in our military, you're making us look weak! ALSO Republicans: Stop asking Pete Hegseth all these mean questions about his own words and actions, and no he can't take a second round of questioning

Yesterday, President Biden signed our Social Security Fairness Act into law to boost social security benefits for over 3 MILLION American workers. This is the largest investment in social security in decades - YOUR money, going back to YOUR wallet to help you afford retirement.

15. The majority of undocumented ppl are those who overstay their visas - NOT border crosses. But you never hear about the majority of "illegals." There are 50k undocumented Irish in the US. There is no plan to deport them, bc they're white.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

California's minimum-wage hike for fast-food workers has been a clear success, Rogé Karma writes, and yet it has been portrayed as a failure. That is a testament to how quickly economic misinformation spreads—and how hard it is to combat once it does:

The California Job-Killer That Wasn’t
The state raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers—and employment kept rising. So why has the law been proclaimed a failure?

@neildegrassetyson.com this is bothering me. Why the speed of light? What’s determining that fixed number and not a spec more. And what is the propulsion mechanism that instantly accelerates a photon to that fixed maximum speed?
