In the weeks prior to Cory Booker's filibuster, I have watched, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, numerous times. I kept hoping and wishing we had a senator like Jefferson Smith to fight for us today. Thank you, Cory Booker. You are the United States of America.😊🫡🇺🇸🥰
It is redeeming my faith in the process, leadership, and strength, let alone eliminating Strom Thurman’s racist speech record from the books. Absolutely worthy of so much more. Thanks Senator Booker!
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
Senator Cory Booker is still going strong 2️⃣2️⃣ hours in explaining how trickle-down tax policy does NOT work. However the GOP is still pushing the trickle down lies/wishful thinking.
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. 🌓✨

CORY BOOKER Rules, BRetHart AEW Womens division by TOniStorm, Mariah May injured half of the womens roster Saraya left AEW and needs neck fusion and a plate with screws in her neck ???...like Peyton Manning, Austin??? The Great Owen Hart should be in WWE Hall of Fame with HART FOUNDAITON STABLE
Now that you mentioned it! It was a spectacular feat. You did not see that when Mitch McConnell was in his prime, nor will Ted Cruz, the ironman of Cancun doing something like this without throwing his wife & daughters under the bus.
This didn't answer the how, though. I'm genuinely curious as to how he pulled it off. Was there some sort of preparation? Was he peeing in bottles? HOW DID HE DO IT? Did he carb load ahead of time?
The passion and truth is amazing. I am 53 and I cannot stand for 3 hours in a row. Truly heroic. Now democrats and republicans who are not fascists: step up!
This is passion, this is truth, this is what we need - 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble' (John Lewis). Bravo, Senator Booker! Show and lead the way...
And no OJ. Another reason to celebrate another old, hateful, angry racist to fade into oblivion being replaced by a good man who cares about everyone, and he’s black. They can’t erase this achievement by a person of color as hard as they will try.
Remember when treason weasel Tubbyville blocked all military promotions for months? Turtle Turd Mitch didn't make him talk for ONE MINUTE to block everything.
They need to. But remember, it's heavy headwinds.
Republican billionaire donors bought all three branches of government, nearly all national and local media, and the churches. They actively block our voices.
So what I'm hearing is that he may have carefully planned for an important and difficult job helping others, and prepared tools needed for success, even when get inconvenienced him personally.
Booker brok Ted Cruz 21 hour Senate floor speech (where he read Dr Seuss) when Republicans were trying to kill the ACA/Obamacare. If he reaches 24 hours, he will break Strom Thurmond’s record for longest Senate floor speech. Im donating to Dems to encourage them to keep it up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very telling that Cruz had to read children’s books rather than be recorded explaining why he wants insurance companies to get away with dropping customers to die or go bankrupt so that they make more money for their ceos and stockholders.
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!
It’s not impossible. You can only go to the bathroom if you have something to expel. If he has no food or water in him, you can hold it for a very long time.
Yes Sir!!! Lets Fucking Go Senator Booker - Show Your Coleagues HOW TO FIGHT WITH BALLS!! Huge Thank You And Massive Respect To Mr. Corey Booker 💙💙👏👏 #fuckstromthurman
The irony of a man of color breaking the record of an old racist fart like Strom Thurmond opposing the Civil Rights Act couldn’t be a better script. Fuck yeah.
Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for inspiring us, for helping us see the fight, for articulating our hope, frustration, and, yes, anger towards the administration that is dismantling our country. Anger at the attack on our institutions.
OUR ONLY HOPE: COURAGEOUS, OUTSPOKEN PRO-DEMOCRACY FIGHTERS LIKE CORY BOOKER!
If not America's civilian, political and military leaders... Who will "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic?"
IF NOT US ... WHO? IF NOT NOW ... WHEN?
When I get all those constant requests for money … for now on I’ll suggest if they filibuster for 24 hrs I’ll send a box of extra absorbent DEPENDS for any of them!
I was just listening to him for part of the time, and of course was listening when he broke the record. I listened for about 10 hrs total. It was epic!
Been watching Great Job..thank u..Dems keep the fight & we need to do the same. People need to rise. Take part in April 5th protest. It's up to us to save us!
No. He quit drinking any liquids two days before the speech to keep from needing bathroom breaks. He fasted for four days, I think. His discipline is astonishing.
Gotta be a cath. Diapers won’t hold a whole day’s worth of pee And your skin would break down big time. Pee is pure acid maybe two leg bags with a three-way valve to switch over when one gets full
He and a few other centrist Dems also need to join Bernie and AOC on a few of the anti oligarchy tours. It would give more credibility to the movement and show Democratic solidarity and help repair our image.
Cory Booker inspires hope, not because he’s doing this for spectators, because he’s showing the free world this is not the time to consent to authority exceeded. His example is permission to join together in citizening without boundaries, for just & lasting peace of mind. Bravo that man.
He could go off on a 5 minute tangent and demonstrate how Amazon workers, and many other workers have to pee at work, and whip out an empty water bottle.
More likely a catheter. A diaper would be awful and his skin would be completely broken down after 25 hours. He could get a catheter with a leg bag on each leg and a valve to switch from one side to the other.
I like this to, honestly, I think what he's doing is going to resonate differently with everyone
Senator Booker is creating living art on the senate floor-my hippie artist take because like any other art it will invoke different feelings for all and many will be uncomfortable

Thank you, Senator Booker 🫡
Not true, but it wouldn’t surprise you if it was.

No, really. Just saying.
Go Cory
And in time benefits are accumulated to those who seek natures finesse

Corey Booker is our Democrat candidate for 2028.
Even if Cory doesn’t want to run for president, he’s going to run because we people want it.
Or at least I want it. 🤣

Holy **** Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov!!! You are amazing!!! 💙💙💙
Absolutely admirable, and the "will of fire" we need in our leaders.
But how in the antediluvian hell did he go for 25 hours without taking a piss?
Is there a secret senate urinal in the lectern!
He's got a second wind now, still going strong.

I'm amazed that he is still more coherent than a fully rested pResident.
Republicans

I must assume that some plastic tubing is involved....
Good!
That’s the stupendous intellect of the other party so the other side can understand what the hell he was saying.
Many Congratulations, Cory!
@booker.senate.gov
I'd like to see him take a shit on a list of Republican politicians.
I AM a very crude and angry man.
Fusk 'em.
