Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years.
Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism.
May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

The “free speech absolutist” owner of X doesn’t like the output of the Community Notes program he has previously championed, so he puts his massive thumb on that scale to ensure it’s labels align with his twisted view of reality.
Elon Musk says he's going to "fix" X's community notes system because he disagrees with a note on President Trump's claim that Zelensky has a 4% approval rating in Ukraine.
Musk also claims community notes are "being gamed by governments & legacy media", but provides no evidence for that claim.

Prosecutors in New York are doing more to counter the abuse of power from the Trump administration than our elected officials in DC. Integrity in action.
An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.

This is what a cap on “indirect costs” through NIH grants will do. Going from >50% of grant total to 15% will change how your local university healthcare systems function everyday.
We are not far away from your spouse’s cancer trial stopping, your parent’s Alzheimer’s clinical trial evaporating, your teen’s mental health intervention disappearing. It’s easy to attack universities, but the recent actions from the White House will stop cutting edge medical research very quickly.
