Don't you be thanking Booker and calling him friend! You will lose my vote that way. I am you constituent. So is my entire extended family they donate & vote how I ask them to. Off your ass this minute! HELP Booker. Be his friend. Don't talk about friendship. Why aren't you up talking?!
Help him when you can,Senator. Finally some Democrats are fighting back! Make Massachusetts proud! And, work to get new leadership. Schumer has to go. He has no credibility or trust to lead. Regardless of what the consultants or AIPAC says.
How about unacknowledged surveillance programs that are harming selected U.S. citizens? They need to be investigated, reported on, and stopped. I call it ZersetzungUSA, but some call us targeted. Whatever you call it, it's unAmerican. Are any government funds paying for these programs?
This is great! But also, why has it taken until now for something like this to happen? Please keep up the fight in our institutions as we continue to protest in the streets.
WISCONSIN POLLS CLOSE AT 8:00 BUT STAY IN LINE! SAME-DAY REGISTRATION WITH PHOTO I.D. + PROOF OF ADDRESS LETTER. STOP CULT RAPE-FRIENDLY JUDGES LIKE BRITS! FR. SOLANUS CASEY, ESCORT MOTHER MARY TO REIGN OVER USA BY SAVING YOUR HOME STATE WISCONSIN THROUGH GOD'S GREAT PROVIDENCE!+
That’s the problem with Democrats in Congress—they keep leaving instead of staying and fighting.
Time for age restrictions. We need officials with enough stamina to go the distance.
We look forward to YOUR extraordinary move to fight! The people have made their wants clear. Now our elected officials need to put the people's wishes into motion! Let's go let's go! 💪
I'm glad you are siding with Senator Booker. It's sad that you had to leave to fit in a nap before going to get the early bird special for dinner. Maybe it's time to retire and leave the job to people with the stamina to do what it takes.
Thank you @markey.senate.gov for supporting @booker.senate.gov I rise with you - thank you for this important, emotional, powerful response to the MAGA White House illegal, hateful & unconstitutional actions
I was watching until five am
A man doing what he must
For those he loves
A man showing how to handle anger
A man showing how to manage fears
A plain man of sorrows
Standing speaking plainly for twenty five hours
Cory Booker
I went to sleep happy and shivering
I think it's contagious
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'...
Call your state senators and congressman using the White House switchboard 202-224-3121. Call both Dems and Republicans and tell them that you stand with Cory! Let’s support him!
I see it took someone else doing something for you to do something. All you're doing now is trying to ride his coattails since you think the risk is off of you now. Coward.
💙🔥Call Sen. Booker to thank and support him, let him know how you feel while his marathon speech in the senate floor is still going! 💙🙏🇺🇸 Leave a message for him! Phone: (202) 224-3224 #GoCory!!
Yes, Senator, LET'S keep fighting. Booker is the first to step outside the muted box of Senators who allowed Schumer to side with Trump and Republicans. Who is next? Each of you should do this weekly. Schumer is busily selling books and selling us out, LET'S hope you guys do better now.
Why didn't they do this PRIOR to allowing all the Natzis, Russians & white supremacists to take over our Nation! The Democratic Party has let us down AGAIN!
Senator Booker is the inspiring hero we fricking needed. We are here, we want to fight, we need leadership, and we aren’t giving actblue ONE MORE DOLLAR UNTIL ALL THE OTHER DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS START FIGHTING BACK - LIKE SENATOR BOOKER
As a democrat from Newton, MA who votes in every election, I don't get the value in this
and I find it really arrogant of you and Booker to not deign to tell us what the goals are, what you hope to accomplish in terms of specific concrete things
this seems more appealing to the idiots in the base
Senator Markey, Dems should be holding press conferences EVERY DAY to let the American people know Republicans don't care about the working class, elderly & veterans. Bring the facts bring the receipts. EVERY DAY. Fight. Fight. Fight.
If KJG is correct an' way way way back in 1957 Ole STROM THURMOND the SEGREGATIONIST actually cheated a tad for a time... i have an idea!!! :) is there any way to get bottles of water and nice cute lil 'tea and crumpets' sandwiches over to WHERE Senator Cory Booker currently is? ON THE FLOOR?
He hasn’t said he will stop at the “record” officially the record overlooks the cheat and stands at 24 hours 18 minutes. Now they can quibble that Booker hasn’t kicked Strom out as his was filibuster. Technically Booker is a long speech. But Strom was cheater and racists so I’m for updated history
He easily did beat out TED CRUZ and as far as i'm concerned, he just broke S.C SENATOR STROM THURMOND's 1957 record. Even if NASA had yet to invent astronaut depends or the like way way way back in the "i like IKE" b+w TV set 1950s!!!! :) John Lewis's "good trouble" yes!!!!!
I hope to see Sen. Markey and every other democrat senator on the floor keeping Cory’s work going all next week. Make the republicons feel the frustration of being powerless .
And why aren’t you on the floor filibustering Senator? Got an important steak dinner to attend?It’s about time you and the house caucus got off your collective asses and come out swinging.
And yet not a ONE of you has done jack or shit to block any of the orange menance's cabinet picks, or to block that disastrous CR bill that the traitor @schumer.senate.gov and nine other fake dems collaborated on. Stop patting yourselves on the back for doing NOTHING!!!
You are my Senator, @markey.senate.gov Where have you been for the last fifteen hours? What are you doing to support @booker.senate.gov 's courage? Please ask @schumer.senate.gov to step aside and support Cory Booker as the new Minority Leader.
Finally someone with some cojones!
Not that stupid Fetterman who is full of baloney!
Cory Booker stands up to rail against the Lying King!
For hours and hours Cory did sing!
Now we need some more senators to stand up!
And drink from that big truth cup!
If you are impressed then I urge you to pressure Schumer to resign as minority leader. It is time for younger voices to lead and Schumer is neither young or effectively leading.
Actually she doesn't really meow very nicely. She does meow very insistently. Like a whiny toddler 🤣 Sometimes she meows plaintively. That's more likely to get her results.
Thank you for being there and speaking out Senator Markie I’ve been watching since he came on at 7 PM. Took a few hours to sleep right back at it again. He is amazing. All of you are doing a great job standing up for our democracy, our country and the people!
Impressive stamina but he is signing to the choir. The game has changed and this is a hostile take-over of our government.
Filibusters won't change any minds nor stop them and it wouldn't reach the voters, congresspeople or billionaires that we need to reach. We need new players, new strategies.
Ok so if you're ALL fighting like Sen Cory Booker:
1) Why did Dems vote with the Rethugs immediately after Sen Booker wrapped up, and
2) Are you and EVERY OTHER DEM SENATOR GOING TO DO WHAT SEN BOOKER DID??? One of you should be on that floor every day following Sen Booker's lead!
So who's going up after Mr Booker is done? Which one of OUR FINE EMPLOYEES in CONGRESS will follow his lead and disrupt these lunatics every chance they get?
I'D REALLY LOVE AN ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION FROM SOMEBODY IN CONGRESS BUT I WON'T HOLD MY BREATH.
Absolutely this, @markey.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov. You have some of the best staff in the country. Have them prep you and then be ready to step in. Grind the Senate to a halt until there's accountability.
I keep thinking tis a true sardonic pity that both ED BROOKE and TEDDY KENNEDY are not alive to see this day, and what our good senators are now doing. You need to get back in there, SENATOR ED!!! This ole trekkie is IDIC https://www.senate.gov/senators/FeaturedBios/Featured_Bio_Brooke.htm
TO SENATOR ED MARKEY's STAFF ~~~~ i have a bright hippie/trekkie/boomer idea.... IDIC ... is there ANY WAY Senator ED MARKEY can smuggle some nice lil deli sandwiches and small bottles of water onto the Senate floor? Can we get a few of 'em over to where CORY currently is? :)
I am a tad younger than both ED MARKEY & LIZ WARREN, my two senators. As i said, i once voted for ED BROOKE as a young adult. Quite often I'd voted for Teddy Kennedy. I am a CLAUDE RAINS fan. SENATOR BOOKER is breaking SENATOR THURMOND's record. With a lil help from his friends!!! :)
GUYz .... ole STROM THURMOND set the record way back in 1957 and he is the dude who helped to create the Dixi~crat Party of 1948 as a reaction to a very short and apt convention speech by Minnesota's HUBERT HORATIO HUMPHREY that slammed into Segregation that year. Each Q helps CORY out.
THANK YOU SENATOR EDWARD MARKEY... THEE ARE WISELY BEING PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM... AS I THINK ABOUT MY TEEN ANGST IN THE 1960s!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):) Heck, i once voted for ED BROOKE and TEDDY KENNEDY... but not on the same day!
Dear world;
Florida USA has just confirmed that they would like tariff wars and hostility with our previous NATO partners. Sane Americans are trying to defeat the insanity in the White House.
Please boycott all things associated with Florida so they may feel the pain.
And as a patriotic American, I will join in boycotting Florida products. They're easy to find online, but let's start with the biggie that Anita Bryant brought the wrath of God down on--oranges and orange juice. #FuckFloriduh
Senator Markey, like Senator Booker are true Americans fighting for us and the country.
Voice yourself, loud and everywhere. The only option is to get rid of Trump, Musk, all GOPers, and the majority of cult followers. We need each of you.
Suit up Eddie, take your turn doing this. Shut down the entire legislative process until the next election. You have the support of a majority of Americans

Decent vs indecent
Compassionate vs cruel

This is the Senate’s agenda today - the longer Booker speaks the more he disrupts the calendar and schedule!

…”arnt” means NOT as in ARE NOT🤦🏻♂️
So yes, Cory Booker IS on the Senate floor fighting while you and the rest …ARE NOT!
Thank you at the very least for your HONESTY.
Stop waiting. There is no magic savior coming where WE the people don't have to get up and do the work. If we want to stop it, WE have to stop it.

Mr. Booker Goes To Washington!
- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored
- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored
- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored
Listening to him now. I can't imagine trying to speak coherently for this long.

If the flag is a symbol of freedom and democracy so should this speech.
Should probably get a febreeze treatment first :)

Cannot have that
I'm a 67 year old 1st time protester. I'm out there because I'm afraid for our country. I'm afraid for the people in it.
Call every GOP senator to shame them and every Dem senator to encourage them.
