"How can the central precept of our country, founded on on principles that are reflected in the good book, how can we say we should cut healthcare from the sick and the needy to give bigger tax cuts to Elon musk?"
Cory Booker.
Speaking from the Senate floor, 04\01\2025
🚨🚨 CALL TO ACTION: Send messages of support to Senator Cory Booker! Send the message to a Democratic Senator. Let's overwhelm Cory Booker with gratitude for what he's doing. Let's show other senators what happens when they stand up & fight! Let's encourage them to follow Sen Booker's example!! 🚨🚨
Senator Booker's filibuster is giving me my first feeling of hope in a long while. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power" he said, noting that real change has always started in the streets. Keep up the empty chair town meetings, because there can't be more of them than us!
Cheering on someone actually trying to fight back against this fascist regime isn't hero worship, buddy. Go argue with someone that actually gives 2 shits about your opinion.
God Bless Cory Booker!.. I have so much respect for him! ⚖️...⚖️...⚖️... Standing by one's convictions is a more than admirable trait!... Whether the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Rethuglican Traitors to America acknowledge what Cory Booker is doing, is probably negligible!
We did a study of 3 different brands of batteries, Energizer, Duracell and Kirkland. Same brand of wall clock (3). All batteries were new. Energizer stopped 6 months before Duracell, and Kirkland lasted three months after the Duracell quit. Just FYI.
He is the #bossman and we must all support him in #resist ing this nonsensical administration! #standupforyourrights get yourself a new phone ringtone to show you support #corybooker
“You gotta unclench your ass cheeks, unpucker your asshole, relax your jaw, and shake it off. All that adrenaline locking up your frame, threatening to warp the chassis, you better let it out. Release steam.”
"Salute to Cory—a true patriot unafraid to make waves. We need more voices to rise, more actions to disrupt, and more courage to confront. This 𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Act now, because it’s that serious."
Right to the very end, when he was very clearly physically and emotionally exhausted, he was still fantastic and on point. I'm so in awe of him, especially without being allowed food on the senate floor! 25 hrs + 5 minutes! 🎉
Why do you people keep saying this. They are already doing this. They don't need an excuse to murder you and your entire people other than hatred and greed.
It won’t do anything but strengthen the current party’s resolve to do even more harm. They are restructuring executive power to insulate themselves from the consequences of their actions.
Even if you can't watch, tune in a device to CSPAN or YouTube and boost @booker.senate.gov
Cory's Booker's stellar fillibuster. After 18+ hours, he is still more coherent, lucid, accurate, inspirational than any speech by this president or his cabinet.
I’ve been protesting @schumer.senate.gov to step down because he is a coward & feckless as a leader. @booker.senate.gov is the example of a Senator that should be in leadership! Not afraid, standing (literally & figuratively) for the majority of greater good.
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. 🌓✨
#StandWithBooker #DemocracyInAction
It’s great to see someone in the Democratic Party that has the balls to finally stand up for the people. While I indeed give Booker shit, and will continue to do so, I’m proud of my senator. He gives me hope to carry on and to not give up. Fuck trump, fuck fascism and fuck this bullshit.
A main difference between public servants and fascists is the willingness to listen to and represent their constituents. We should EXPECT to have to tell our leaders what we want from them and hold them accountable. Talking back is normal and needed; thanks for holding the line!
Hold the line. We need more aoc's and Crockett schumer it's time to step aside for the more active and more energetic dem's to rally the younger people. If not we are going to be dealing with this bs more than 4 years. He said he would run for a 3rd term. Hell to the NO! ELONS GOT TO GO! 🇺🇲🇺🇦💪💯
Cory Booker's impressive, but my MIL once talked for nine and a half hours straight without taking a breath when I was driving her from AZ to Colorado. #Resist #VoteBlue
Gooooooo Senator Booker!!! Thank you for speaking up for America.💙💙💙Congratulations for breaking the record, Senator Booker!🎉🎉🎉 We are so proud! 25 hours and a few minutes.
To the Stand Up and Brilliant Senator Cory Booker 👏👏👏👏
To all those ‘asking questions’😉, the aids, technicians and all staff allowing the truth to be presented to Americans and the world community, Thank you!
My friend is in DC now and was so dissapointed when she discovered that she missed her chance to there for this historic event. I wish I was there...stuck on the couch with another damn injured knee.
The President of the US can also shove those tariffs where the sun don't shine.
I'm not selling my opinions... but I hope they echo the opinions of an ever-rising number of American voters. Mid-terms coming up.
He is covering every illegal and nasty action of the MAGA congress and the orange one and the hatchman Musk. This will be available forever - and it is proof of what is being done in the name of "presidential immunity"
hr’s trying to beat the 24 hr 18 minute record from strom thurmond … he should read all of the felon’s crimes and list all the damage he has done to this country/that will easily take up the remaining 3 hours+
@booker.senate.gov
The record for the longest filibuster is 24 hours and 18 minutes.
It is held by Sen. Thurman who was filibustering AGAINST the Civil Rights Act.
How poetic would it be for a black man to smash that record for a much more noble cause?!
He is filibustering about all of the felon’s policies. The danger of it all. He is showing that at least one democrat is fighting back. I can only hope that more will find the courage to fight the evil man.
Unless he has a supersonic bladder I don’t think that will happen. The rules used to be that one could take bathroom breaks. That is no longer the case. He is doing a great job and his colleagues are helping him out with questions. It is very inspiring.
Serious questions since this is not technically a filibuster are the rules the same like when a senator steps in to ask a question can he run to the bathroom?
Can’t find a good answer on this either besides the fact that he can’t leave and obviously he can’t sleep so if he’s allowed to use the bathroom when other senators come in this could easily go on the rest of the day into the night
Strom Thurmond, Senator from South Carolina, began a filibuster intended to prevent the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. The filibuster lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes.
Where is Chuck D in all this ? Public Enemy Spoke out against this back in the Day and you guys were a Powerful voice back in the Day and we could really use that Today
Well said. Putting the question another way for every American, some day soon Senator Booker may light the beacons asking for help to defend freedom and democracy, when he does, will you answer?

I backed him and stood by him during his health issues just for him to give carte blanche to Trump
One term Senator for sure
Thanks for showing some leadership.

Keep going, Cory!! #corybooker #filibuster
There isn't anyone up for a nomination right now either.;
He's talking but not filibustering A FUCKING THING!
But the point was to amplify the voice of people writing and calling (from the whole political spectrum) who are terrified.
