He was amazing right?! Can you pls remind people to join the April 5th protests nationwide this Saturday? We need to show we're standing with Cory Booker and are ready to be counted. We can each do something, as he reminded us today. https://HandsOff2025.com has thousands of protest locations! Thank you
Tonight, APRIL 1, 2025, at 7:19 ET Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey -a man of color will break a shameful, hateful segregationist’s 67 year record- making GOOD HISTORY
Let me find out they can’t pee or shit though when they are this fired up. 😡 Must be a Republican thing forced on the BY THE BOOK FOLKS, which ain’t them for sure. 🧐🤣I’m near sighted assholes. You gets a number. 🖕🏼 off. You got other choices. We…R’ent going anywhere. Pun intended. 😂🖕🏼😎
Days after the illegal takeover of USAID, Senator Cory Booker joined protestors next to the Capitol and promised he would shut down the Senate floor and today he did. Promises kept💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥It's exactly what we need. I hope others follow his example. He's right though, it can't just be the senate. It has to be the people who speak up.
Over 175 MILLION likes on the Insta live stream, hundreds of thousands watching. Other Dem Politicians, take note, THIS is what the people want! Fight back, stop rolling over! LFG,

Serious question Mr. Drayton (if that is your real name), do we have reason to suspect he is a "viejo veterano de alcohólicos anónimos"?
Also, no 24 hour fillibuster speech should be taken too literally. Maybe you're hacking your own brain w/ a spy satellite to be clever. But you're not that dumb.
the record is 24 hours and 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond filibustering against the Civil Rights Act, Booker is currently at around 23 hours, if he hangs on a little bit longer he could break the record
im not even a fan of cory booker. i think he's just another standard corporate democrat, but mad respect for this moment. this is a defining moment for every american and he's doing his part. thank you comrade booker o7
Yeah, I honestly can’t remember if it was in the movies or in real life that a filibuster could be as simple as a Senator up there reading recipes. I’ve been dipping in and out and he is so inspiring.
I think that other senators are allowed to ask questions, and they can take several minutes if they want to, and that can buy him some time. I believe Murphy (and probably others) were prepared for this. I'm not sure of the particulars.
According to the Stackhouse episode of the West Wing he can yield for questions without yielding the floor. That is the extent of my knowledge of the filibuster.
Man, i hope he breaks strom Thurmans record
I remember my dad reluctantly introducing me to Thurman back in the 70s and just after i asked
“What’s he like?”
“Like a walking pecker”
What a bizarre way to demonstrate democracy. All show and no actual result. But in a way, it describes the USA well. The democrats are completely nummed by the fascists, and no real action is being taken. USA is lost. As a friend, ally and a democracy. 100% fubar.
Oh man, his words and eloquence had me in tears. I hope Americans at least listened for a little while. He's inspired me and I will join him in doing all I can to fight for the Democracy I want. Not the tyrants that vow to tear down our rights.

One thing Cory’s speech has shown.
Dem leaders suddenly have backbone.
A strong new look. We aren’t afraid.
We’re ready to fight! Lead the parade!

Omg he gave us a life line to hold onto.
Thank you senator Corey Booker
Keep pouring the Flavor.

So impressive
I’m learning so much!

Thurman was evil.
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.
