Imagine the arrogance of thinking: screw ALL the economists, screw everything we know from history, screw our allies, screw American workers and farmers, screw my own voters who just wanted costs to go down…I’m going to take down the GLOBAL economy. Because I can. That’s a special kind of narcissist.

Senator Booker deserves enormous admiration for his historic filibuster. And Senator Murkowski's comment is typical of her independence,

[Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski]

Whether you agree with him or not, the past 24+ hours was what most people think a filibuster actually looks like. Congratulations to @SenBooker for his historic feat (while staying on his feet!)

I have appreciated my friends' interest in my books about the Senate. I just started writing on Substack and hope that you will subscribe---no cost.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

Liz Cheney: “Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.”

RETWEET if you stand with @Liz_Cheney against Donald Trump!

Let's remember what's at stake in November.

[Ira Shapiro @ShapiroGlobal]

There are a handful of principled, patriotic Republicans like Liz Cheney and Sarah Longwell. But most of them take the disgraceful path of Nikki Haley and Mitch McConnell, supporting Trump while knowing that he will undermine our democracy.

[Republican Accountability @AccountableGOP]

.@SarahLongwell25: “What Nikki Haley did yesterday is the reason that Trump continues to persist in our politics...She is responsible for making a decision that is actively tearing down the country that she claims to love. And it's shameful. I hope she feels ashamed today.”

"From my years as a Senate staffer in the 1970s and ’80s, I have great admiration and affection for [former senators William Cohen, John Danforth and Alan Simpson]," @ShapiroGlobal writes.

But this is really not a time for somehow being “above the fray.” https://t.co/IZpBk0Kl7T

The Trump years have been a test of character, courage and patriotism that too many Republican leaders have failed. #MichaelSteele is one of the notable exceptions.

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

We are 6 mos. out from making a consequential decision not only about the direction of our nation, but also about the man who will lead us. Leadership, despite the lies we tell ourselves, still matters as does the character of the man who will lead. So, as one man sits in the Oval Office buffeted by doubts about his age while seeking solutions to wars, the economy and the concerns many of us hold, and the other sits in a court room stewing in recriminations and anger, seeking retribution and dictatorship, I am reminded of what the Greek philosopher Heraclitus noted: "Character is destiny."
So, for US, the character of our next president will determine our destiny.

[Ira Shapiro @ShapiroGlobal]
