Good Trouble:

Cory Booker’s anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor has lasted 17 hours and counting

Sen. Cory Booker spent Monday night on the Senate floor, delivering a nonstop speech protesting the Trump administration’s policies.

The New Jersey Democrat took the podium at 7 p.m. EDT, vowing to speak “for as long as I am physically able.” He was still standing — with glasses on and papers in hand — as of 11 a.m. on Tuesday, taking periodic breaks by yielding to questions from several fellow Democrats.

By mid-morning, some 40,000 people were watching Booker’s live stream on YouTube.

THANK YOU @alsobrooks.senate.gov for joining Senator Booker! This is what we need! Shut down the Senate!!!

Attorney General Pam Bondi directs federal prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

Mangione, 26, was charged with fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi on Tuesday directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year.

Mangione, 26, was federally charged in December with stalking and murdering Thompson after the CEO was fatally shot on the streets of midtown Manhattan. He was also charged with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism by state prosecutors.

Bondi said that she was directing prosecutors to seek the death penalty as part of “President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”

“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said in a statement.

My God.ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.How many more?THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

Trump’s ICE just “mistakenly” kidnapped a man with protected status and no record married to a U.S. citizen with a disabled child who is a citizen and sent him to an El Salvadoran hard labor prison — and say they can’t do anything about it In our names 🇺🇸

Reporter: "A judge ordered that he should remain in this country, so are you saying it's okay to ignore a judge's ruling if you don't like it?" Karoline Leavitt: "It's an immigration judge who works for the Department of Justice at the direction of the AG of the US, whose name is Pam Bondi."
