Has Senator Booker lit the flame that the rest of his party was missing? Will they see the urgency to stop doing business as usual, plan a creative strategy, and unite with the courage to see it through?
WTF isn't he the leader of the Senate for the Democrats? I mean my God I don't think Schumer even took questions after he caved to basically do NOTHING AT ALL to counter the GOP proposal. This is a guy really doing something for once.
Bravo! Well done and eloquently so, sir! Thank you very much for the excellent, informative and thought-provoking lecture, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey! 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻💙🇺🇸💙
I hope he gets a week's worth of sleep! At times I thought he couldn't possibly go on any further...then BOOM! The energiser bunny has nothing on him!!
Carry on Corey. We need you more than ever. Put some fire in the bellies of Congress. They have equal power to challenge the president who is just a meager man of inflated value.
Senator Cory Booker just delivered a record-setting speech in defense of democracy—passionate, principled, and inspiring. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz joked about pulling a fire alarm to stop him. We need more leaders like Booker, not obstructionists like Cruz. #LeadershipMatters #DefendDemocracy
Can someone explain to me what happened here? I love this energy from D’s but was this not all theater? Won’t the right and those who voted that way just think “you spent 20 hours of our time speaking?”
So fucking what. He only did to skip a hearing where he is the chairman collecting cash from the folks being questioned at the hearing. He loves him some big tech cash.
Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster ever—bold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And we’re with you. 🌓✨

TEN WEEKS TOO LATE!! AIPAC LACKEY! BARE FUKKIN MINIMUM! HE IS MY SENATOR. God the expectations for those we ELECT & PAY are pitifully low. The brainwashing is WAY beyond MAGA.
It was well timed for the WI election. Things have to be staggered. And since it will only get worse we can't do the fireworks finale at the beginning - we'll win in the midterms and then we can actually get a grip on things. imo.
Respect. This legend, Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ), just broke Strom Thurmand's 1957 Senate speech record...I am ecstatic that Booker achieved this particular infamy! He has lit for us a certain fire, forcing that door wider for us to charge through to then get into 'good trouble'...
Get me enough energy drinks and I'm talking y'all into unconsciousness.
The reason why I wouldn't do that: it's futile. Bet that Krasnov would sign the SAVE Act and anything else into effect with glee in the knowledge that his opposition has wasted time on him again.
There's only one thing the Republicans understand - Lost Elections! They could care less! Love the energy have to turn it into voter turnout and new voters registrations!
And then he continued for what - 30 minutes?) - more. He made a record that will remain on the books for a very long time. He's fantastic. I hope he has inspired those bozos in the Senate & House to stand up to the 🍊💩 and his minions.
Message to Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov
@booker.senate.gov stood on the senate floor for over 24 hours to stand up to Trump and his destructive policies.
This is leadership and sacrifice
Since you are unable to lead except the 10 democrat senators who voted with you.

Mainstream news is not covering this, so let’s be sure to share this everywhere and give people hope!!! Don’t tell me that felon 47 has a mandate when 350 million people watched & supported Corey Booker’s speech https://thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Pointless stunt. It doesn't delay, let alone block or reverse a single toxic bill or nomination which is when he ought to have done this. Meanwhile, Ds are losing elections bc their former voters aren't fooled by this bs.
Great! Historic! I’m glad someone did something. But as long as they the Rs can rig the voting machines we have no hope of ever taking our country back.
Nothing could have been better than Booker talking about one of the greatest members ever in Congress, John Lewis. As a member of SNCC in 63, my life has also been lived under the influence of the Great John Lewis - and have been getting into good trouble, retrospectively, since 4th grade in 1952.
April 5th !!The working class out number the rich !!! Stop buying from the companies that did this to us !!Strike Protest !!! Rise up ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼🤍💙❤️ show the world ! Booker stood up for 25 hours to Tyranny !!!
100% independent journalists now !! Aaron Parson medias touch !!
Might be one of the great speeches in US political history. This was a structured, inciteful and passionate speech. For 25 hours. Cruz read Dr Seuss and Thurmond read the encyclopedia.
Sen Booker broke the record of an old segregationist while excoriating a fascist regime for their reckless, lawless behavior. Replacing hate with love of the Constitution, country and fellow citizens. Fight like Sen Booker on April 5 and every day!
At least longest Senate floor filibuster now is for an uplifting positive cause to save government from its worst self,instead of Thurmond's appalling white racist rant to crush civil rights and enshrine the abuse of human rights. That it took this long is appalling, but big thanks to #SenBooker
Let's hope his example and the reaction he's received will inspire more elected Democrats to engage in similar efforts. Booker is big popular right now. That's a drug that politicians find hard to resist.
Fking @schumer.senate.gov. He really needs to step aside. Breaking the record is hardly the point. Plus, Booker said No and the dimwit still proceeded. I want Schumer gone. Time to retire and put a Leader in the Senate.
I’m crying 🥹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Literally crying. All will look back at this as a defining moment in history. Congratulations @booker.senate.gov 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙
Just when the Democrats are desperate for a hero, Cory Booker emerges from the smoke of our smoldering democracy.
Thank you Senator Cory Booker for being a true leader & warrior for democracy!
Please continue to relay this this monumental selfless patriotic democratic filibuster movement started by Cory! Be Loud and Heard! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedems25.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social💪🏻🇺🇸💙

"Hold my🍺"
We ain't done yet...
Him breaking this record is overshadowing the message he just spent 25h5m delivering.
The media needs to cover the message at least as much as they cover the act of delivering it.
The reason why I wouldn't do that: it's futile. Bet that Krasnov would sign the SAVE Act and anything else into effect with glee in the knowledge that his opposition has wasted time on him again.

Senator, you are a leader of leaders, a stateman, filled with wisdom, love & patriotism.
Exactly what we needed to counteract this time of greed, self promotion and manipulative disinformation from Trump.
Let’s Go Democrat Senators…line up
✌🏼❤️
Breaking the record of a speech against the Civil Rights Act, PRICELESS!! 👏
@booker.senate.gov
Justice served.
The great Senator Cory Booker got in good trouble.
We have the leader we’ve been waiting for.

We're going to need to rely on the things he said in the coming days and weeks.
I'm so grateful to have him to lead.

JD VANCE JUST REPORTED THAT ALL THREE MILLION PROTESTORS WERE PAID BY GEORGE SOROS!
Stand up, speak out.
United we succeed!
Divided is what trump/musk/vance/putin want so they can destroy all that we love and veterans fought for in past wars.

Neither has ever met a camera they didn’t like.
Does he not know that ChatGPT can summarize his thoughts?
Fixed it for you.
Well done Mr Booker!
