Boom 💥
Reposted from Mike Nellis
Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their stories—and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone.

A masterclass in capturing attention.

Well done.

Senator Cory Booker!

I hope he does the same when there is a vote because that is the time to filibuster!
reply
Next week is a work week for the Senate. Tuesday is a lot of committee meetings. The two weeks after are holiday weeks.
Start a filibuster on Monday night. One speaker after another non-stop until early morning Saturday. They either give up holiday, or get nothing done for 3 weeks.
reply
Thank you Senator Booker.🇺🇸💙
reply
I am one of the 14,000. I am grateful. 🙏🏻

TikTok likes went over 400 million by the time is was officially done. ✅

I was traveling today, but had YouTube playing it in the car while driving!

Booker. What a model.
reply
Called and left a message for Senator Booker to thank him.
Ugh —I started crying (from gratitude) in the middle of my message🫣
reply
Sorry you don’t get a boom Katie because your network barely covered it
reply
Woooooooooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I had to email. Couldn’t get through and voicemails were full. I was hoping this was why!
reply
And then he agreed to confirm Whittaker with unanimous consent. Completely fucking useless.
reply
Well we have nowhere near enough support apparently because we just lost the two specials in Florida! People haven't had enough yet! Sadly, by the time they had enough, it will have been too late! I don't think we're going to turn this around.
reply
FL is red capital of the US. Not a good litmus test for where things really are in the nation. I know this first hand. But, the races were closer here than expected. In RED Florida! Winds of change are blowing.
reply
Florida is a write off. Don’t even count them in the equation. We can and we will turn it around. Don’t despair!
reply
I hope you're right. The stress is killing me however! I have never been more afraid of my own country!
reply
I didn’t have hope in Florida

Look at Wisconsin! Screw the felon and President Musk!

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. 🌓✨

Mr. Cory Booker…
I am so proud of you…
And very thankful for you.
Thank you.

Triple Boom 💥
Senator Booker starred the movement to fight, our voice was heard, and our vote counts.
reply
Mailboxes are full at DC and Newark offices. I was able to leave a message at the Camden office.
reply
FINALLY. Where have the rest of them been?!!!
reply
LFG!!!
reply
I left one of those voicemails. Might be a record for voicemails of approval and appreciation. People usually only call to complain.
reply
The American revolution was about property. It was about money. The Tulsa massacre was about money. Whiteness realized they could not murder POC to take their wealth. So the white Heritage Foundation was born and now gave birth to Project 2025. We all know federal jobs have a population of POC.
reply
So they are gutting the fed system of jobs to gut federal positions of POC
reply
I watched it on YouTube.
reply
I had all 4 TV’s in our house on CSPAN II all day. 👍🏼
reply
He fucking nailed this!!!
reply
This is what Schummer should have done instead of triangulating and spinning and then playing stupid games
reply
I’m afraid the story will be the record and not what he was saying. The stories he told of constituents asking for, pleading for help.
reply
goes the dynamite 💥
reply
Oh good he got them 🥰
reply
We get 2 print papers & listen to wnyc/npr. Odds this will lead?
reply
Booker for Leader.
reply
What is he filibustering?
reply
May he serve as an inspiration for others on the hill and citizens who are humane to take substantive action.

He starved and dehydrated himself.

Who's next?

Hope Schumer is listening to the nonstop calls & emails to his offices encouraging him to step aside.

I donated, first time in months!

Yes 👏 👏🩵🩵🩵

No Unanimous Consent. And more stuff allowed by parliamentary rules to slow this insane destruction march.

He's da bomb.

Nailed it 🔨🔨🔨

My granddaughter (22yrs) texted me that she and her friends were following Cory(TikTok I think).

ALSO, she’s in Wisconsin and spent the morning texting her friends about getting everyone in their ‘group’ out to vote.
These things make me happy. Also that Wisconsin’s courts aren’t for sale.
reply
Very well done!
reply
They’ll get to hear me crying.
reply
... and with that attention, he and the rest of the Senate Democrats continued with unanimous consent.

See, attention is a great starting point. This 25 hour speech may indeed set some additional wheels turning...

... but it could've done so right out of the gate by being paired with real action.
reply
Now the Senate Democrats need to do this as a group and filibuster for the next three months.
reply
Or four years... 😬
reply
Maybe less than 2 years...
reply
Yep. If that is what it takes!!

I made a donation too. Going forward I’m only giving donations to the Democrats who are speaking truth to power and not rolling over. This isn’t business as usual !! @schumer.senate.gov you need to step down and let the brawlers take over leadership.
reply
Keep it up 🤩

407 MILLION likes on TikTok!

We need more Dems to register to vote.
reply
But...but... Dem leaders are saying they don't have the majority and can't do anything... plus stop bothering them, they have a book tour they need to get to.
reply
I left a thank you message...started 😢
reply
Same. After I heard the Parkinson’s letter and his personal story about his dad I had to call - my mom also died of Parkinson’s and that moment was honestly a bit of healing - to hear our shared grief entered into the permanent congressional record.
reply
Sending you a hug with love
reply
Booker sure beat any of 45²'s TV ratings before or after he was elected...either time.
reply
We need millions of calls
reply
He was amazing.
reply
Courage is contagious.
reply
Social Media attention is not political power.
reply
‪I literally kept tearing up as Sen Booker continued on, speaking courageously, representing America & her citizens. God Bless you@booker.senate.gov 🙏🇺🇸

Now, let's get the rest of these silent D's doing the same!!!
reply
Total likes were 400 million on TikTok live. Hell yeah, Senator Booker!!
reply
Yay
reply
Kudos Senator Corey Booker! Thanks for having a spine and showing us all how to fight and resist!
reply
Disgusting the rest of the senate Dems confirmed some asshat by unanimous consent IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS.

Not one more goddam dollar to this party until leadership changed. And NOW not 2026
reply
I left him a voice mail saying thank you.
reply
I also donated to @booker.senate.gov.

He won’t campaign for anything until at least 2028 but I figure that if other Democrats see huge donations to Senator Booker based on his performance, that will encourage them to follow suit.

Money talks, and all that.
reply
I called. His voicemail was full, so I sent him an email!!!
reply
Don't have tiktoc but watched on cspan
reply
Congrats to the team that found words for him.
reply
A call to action. No one can sit this out. Get to your local city hall, city street corner, just get out there.

I donated because of his actions. See if there is an uptick in $$'s
reply
And guess who DIDN'T get any attention. 😊😉

Proudly, one of the 14,000!

Thank you again, Senator Booker 🇺🇸 💙

👏🇺🇸Bravo

Boom Boom Boom Boom,-Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow!! God bless Cory Booker

Cory Booker hasn’t April Fooled the Senate.

He’s April Schooled those dumb fcks!
reply
Very well done, Senator!
reply
The Booker man
reply
It was amazing. So great!!!
One thing I have to say is that AOC articulated the whopping tax cuts for the rich so very clearly, people can really understand WHY gop is cutting E V E R Y T H I N G in order to get them.
reply
Katie, what was the point? Dems vote unanimous consent immediately after!
reply
Such good news.

I hope the cynics & eye-rollers dismissing this as only "performative" offer up a mea culpa.

I hear DoorDash has crow on the menu, tonight.
reply
And his sentences were superb, from the bit I listened to.
Probably to the very end?
reply
More DEMOCRATS have to follow @booker.senate.gov amazing example
reply
Now imagine if they’d captured attention a month ago when it mattered! Imagine using this energy to stop Musky Shitler’s budget. Imagine having a leader, and not a cowardice old feckless fool @schumer.senate.gov
reply
Now let’s get them calling all the GOP senators. Whether they represent them or not. As representatives of a national office, all Senators represent America and their votes and views affect all Americans.

Great, now let's promote him to leadership and maybe start doing something. LFG

No if only I haven't gotten multiple fundraising email texts as a result.

But Tommy Tuberville said no one was watching. 🙄

And a $200 donation from me to him.

He is just so sincere. So glad he broke the record too. He said the longer he stood up there, the more that record meant to him.
Hi Katie Phang, nice to see you here!

we are being distracted. how did the senate dems handle the vote after? says everything. we are such suckers.
reply
I’m going to write him a thank you card. I was so moved by his love of our country.
reply
Which means tomorrow Trmp will announce his upcoming 26-hour speech. And all the networks must carry it live or the FCC will cancel their licenses.

More please Sir
