Go Cory. He is fighting for us-the little guys. Liked that he spoke of the problems we all face with government practices. He spoke of truth, compassion and hopefully a better future for all. A republican would have ranted about how bad/unfair it is for him/them and retribution. VOTED BLUE !!!
I'm sure he's in good shape but damn I'm getting worried about him. I can't imagine how it would feel to stand for that long and continue to speak. People called on him to do something and this is something!
Sen. Booker, I can't thank you enough for your dedication, hard work and willingness to stand up and fight for we the people. You are amazing!
This is what leadership, democracy and standing up for we the people looks like.
Beat Stroms filibuster against civil rights while protesting the vile racist current Potus Donald Trump!!!!! Two for Tuesday! #corybooker #champion #usa
You cannot be American and not be touched and humbled by Senator Booker's stamina, passion and intelligence in this moment! He is a true patriot! He inspires me to keep fighting! I cannot not watch!! This IS our call to action!!!
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.
If only I hadn't gotten a fundraising email off of it before he even finished. Money in politics is the reason we're in this crisis. Only a citizens' revolt will get us out of it
Watching on UTube … seeing his relationship w Murphy and how a beautiful example of trusting friendship … holding hands , walking in other people’s shoes is a gift
When you share, when you give , you begin to live . CHEERS to Humanity .
@booker.senate.gov was inspiring with his filibustering. You know what would be even better? EVERY Democrat filibustering Congress. Show us your courage! Show us you can defend Democracy
Amen!!! He has that amazing combination of qualities. He has such a brilliant intellect. He has such a big heart. He doesn't just feel for others, he acts. He helps. And his unwavering optimism is courageous.
At least longest Senate floor filibuster now is for an uplifting positive cause to save government from its worst self,instead of Thurmond's appalling white racist rant to crush civil rights and enshrine the abuse of human rights. That it took this long is appalling, but big thanks to #SenBooker
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!
I have felt my spirits lift. I feel less dispirited. I feel hope. See what leadership can do, what courage can do. It's a cliche, but damn, courage IS contagious!
I love listening to Corey’s life stories. I’m crying now w his story about his time meeting President Carter and working from the heart & John Lewis at his bedside promising he will carry on from the heart ♥️ he’s shares w silence w compassion and than YELLs at what’s killing The Dream ❤️

From a threads contributer the most beautiful description.."Corey Booker gave proof through the night that our flag was still there"...Brought tears to my eyes...
This is the first time I have felt hopeful since this nightmare began. @booker.senate.gov thank you for showing us that some of our leaders will fight for us! 💗
He needs to replace Schumer. Schumer wouldn’t do this for just a few hours. Democrats should be in line and keep it going. They need to do this for days. One right after the other.
Man...the answer he gave to Senator Padilla's question at around 2PM today; that was among the greatest of the great American speeches I've heard. I couldn't give a speech half that good, with YEARS to prepare, and he did it impromptu almost 19 hours into this.
God Bless him indeed.
Can't wait to read the whole transcript! Schumer should just give Sen. Cory the Senate Democratic Leader job right now. He earned it and as long as he keeps talking and fighting like THIS, he'll earn it every day going forward. Sen. Booker is the proven heart of the Democratic Party.👍
Damn. Maybe Depends is making it possible because how is that possible otherwise! Did he fast for 2 days beforehand? 👀
He needs to take Schumer's place
Makes me proud to be an American!!! I was clapping and screaming YES!!! when he hit the mark. That guy should be leading the democrats in the senate. I miss you on msnbc Joy!
His ability to think so clearly after more than 24 hours of sleep, his eloquence, and his passion is remarkable. This is YOUR man for THIS TIME. Stand behind him and if you have $1.00, please donate to him.
I am so proud to be alive to witness this moment. Thank you @booker.senate.gov. Things might be awful. The country might be in a complete state of disarray but we must always hold on to hope. Hold on tightly as we stand up, speak up and fight for what’s right.
Hurrah for Senator Booker! What he has done is a great achievement. It’s a meaningful statement as to how many things are wrong with our democracy. He’ll need a well deserved vacation.

Are you going to "reap it" when inflation skyrockets?
Of course not; traitors are cowards, and you'll blame it on Biden.
Bunch of pussies.
God bless this courageous man

The Xdems wouldn’t stand for even a minute.
I hope they feel the shame of their betrayal
If the flag is a symbol of freedom and democracy so should this speech.
Should probably get a febreeze treatment first :)
God Bless him indeed.

"Who are we America if you don't think this is a moral moment where the character of our country is being tested?"
I'm a 67 year old 1st time protester. I call and write ALL of the senators. The GOP can stop this. We only need 4 of them to change course.
Great Patriot, great Man, great Human.
1) THAT'S MY SENATOR!!!!!
and
2) If you still had your show, I'd nominate this for #WhoWonTheWeek.

Thank you for fighting for us.
He just riffed on Sen Hirono’s reference to constitutional separation of powers. And then read from Federalist 51 on the same topic.
