don't you think it diminishes the efforts made out of integrity, for the common good, if you describe a personal achievement in terms of status as that person's 'best news'? i'd like to believe that his best news would be more along the lines of his speech than any appointment could be.
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. 🌓✨

"Something’s happening. The people-those not doom scrolling themselves into numbness- are stirring. Green shoots of resistance are emerging—packed town halls, schools, furious constituents demanding action, workers walking out, and the unmistakable crackle of a movement rising from the ground up!"
The point is to hopefully unite. The left is in fighting like children right now and GOP loves it. If we unite for the midterms then we can get shit done and impeach his ass.
Good people can we agree that it is long overdue for older senators to step aside? We need younger men and women who will fight Trump every step of the way. Not an old boomer who capitulates to get nothing in return.
Singling out Cantwell (66) and Murray (74)? Bold move. These two are far from elderly compared to some in office and are crushing it: Murray leads on child care, veterans, and reproductive rights. Cantwell delivers on clean energy, tech jobs, SS & consumer protections. Misogyny won’t erase results.
I've done a couple posts about this as well, and tend to get more ridicule than support.
Nobody is saying they are bad people because they are old.
We just cannot afford to keep losing seats because of Dems dying in office.
We have to be more strategic.
Seattleite here. Totally with you on your first comment. Patty is doing fine AND she had better not run again. She’s now the most senior D in the Senate - time to step aside for someone new.
I agree with you. Every generation says this though. I totally get it. Not all boomers are out of touch, but many are and so are some gen-Xers. We definitely need more young, energetic blood in positions of power.
If they won’t step aside, we’ll have to sit them down. I’m not voting a straight blue ticket again ever in my life. I’ll write someone in before a Schumer or a Pelosi or a Schiff gets a vote from me. Speak up, fight back or you’re useless in office. Or bought by the enemy.
You haven’t realised you live in trumpland yet?
Who’s gonna stop him from doing what he wants?
The judiciary, military, police, politicians who?
You gave him the power, you phukin morons, to do exactly as he please’s.
I'm watching for fighters - we have a fighter in Sen. Booker and the Senators who stayed the night with him to make his record-breaking filibuster possible.
What was most impressive was what Sen. Booker had to say he was speaking to and for regular Americans -
I believe he thanked Sen Chris Murphy for being there with him from the beginning. He's been stepping up a lot too. It was wonderful to see them all come together to support him and, each other, FOR US!!💙🇺🇸💙
He was amazing! He had a lot of very important things to say. I would have been tongue tied after that long, he spoke eloquently till the very end. He was a phenomenon!
I loved his humility. Last night he spoke of not only the democrats failings but of his own. IMO, that is the mark of a great leader. Empathetic, compassionate and humble. I am so grateful to this man.
The fact that democrats or any one on the left supports you gives me a deep sadness. You should cancel this account and stop giving people false hope. You’re evil. Goes hand in hand with being republican
I hope he had doctor's advice on how to rehydrate or he will be waking up 20 times between now and Thursday. And he earnt a great deal of good news. Hope there is even more before then.
I just watched an interview between Sen Booker and Rachel Maddow. I note that they are both Dems and Rhodes Scholars. They have similar politics.. Which beggs the question why smart people are mostly Dems... If you're a republican, perhaps you should reevaluate your politics!
I’ve been clinically dehydrated. I was probably delirious. Could barely stand. The fact that Cory Booker gave a momentous, coherent, emotional, effective speech for 25 hours is just superhuman.
Tell me how @corybooker.com can remain more focused and competent during and after 25 straight hours of advocating for the American people, but our current president can’t form a coherent sentence .. like ever 🥴🗣️💙🔊
I want a team of Warren-Schiff-Bennet & Murphy, they can rotate every hour and Cory Booker gets to ask the questions with Warnock jumping in to call out the religious hypocrisy on the other side of the aisle.
Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Adam Schiff, Amy Klobachar, and of course, Elizabeth Warren. And we have some great young House Representatives also.

Independent lawyers and the courts have already done most of the ground work.

Let’s not forget that this man actually ran into a neighbor’s burning house to rescue them from the fire
He’s doing it again for us right now
Yesterday they voted three percentage points ahead for the Democrat candidate.
Republicans voted for the Democrat. In a former red county.
Don’t lose hope.
Murray? Mom in tennis shoes v. democracy being crushed.
Jayapal would be better.
And screw you for years saying mysogyny.

Also I wrote him a thank you here.

God bless him!! What a good good man!! ♥️♥️♥️
I would also LOVE to hear about his checks bouncing!🤞🏼🤞🏼
He feels the pain
No doubt.
If she were in the Senate I would put AOC on the list. I could see Murphy, Schiff and Klobuchar doing it. Gallego maybe.
But I think the best one for this specific thing would be Ossoff.
And Sen. Booker deserves every minute of it 😴
