Yes, this!! For every person who has ever said or written the words “But what can democrats do, they aren’t in power?” Please look at what Lindsey Graham just did! Because this is what they can do!! And buying time matters! It delays how much harm can happen. How much Republicans can push through.
Graham objected to unanimous consent.
And he blocked the business of the Senate.
Any Senate Democrat could do this.

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.
DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

Imagine if serving in government was as prestigious as landing a job at Google.
In Finland and Singapore, it basically is. Public service is seen as a privilege, a place where the most ambitious people go to solve the biggest problems.
That’s the culture we should be striving for.

I really enjoyed Rutger Bregman’s “Humankind: A Hopeful History” so this is on my reading list for January!
If I could recommend just 1 non-fiction book that I read in 2025 it would be Moral Ambition by Rutger Bregman.
It left me energized and clear-eyed with a new perspective on my own values. It's the my only re-read of the year and I'll read it again.

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.
