It prevented the GOP, temporarily, from continuing their complete abdication of responsibility.The Democrats showed they are an opposition party for all Americans. They can be a good one or a bad one.They can make this a new beginning, or pat themselves on the back & nothing else. Let’s get it right
I moved to NJ while Senator Booker was the Mayor of Newark. I’d be in Newark weekly and saw the positive changes he made. He has always been a leader and I’m glad he finally showed the Country and the World what true American values are.
Nice piece, Joy. I wish I could write as eloquently as you, but I wouldn’t be able to contain all the four letter words that describe what’s happening!
Democrats are kaput. Blacks have turned against Blacks. Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours even tho there was no bill he was filibustering-it was just a vanity project. Dems are more worried about deported illegal alien criminals than US hostages in Gaza. And the GOP rules all 3 branches. DOGE. Trump.
Congratulations to Cory Booker & all democrats for offering proof beyond a reasonable doubt they're hypocrites & liars. Every dem besides Senators Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema voted to abort the filibuster when they had the majority, in a Filibusters For We But Not For Thee, circus. Susan Crawford.
I’ll bet you that Schumer didn’t want him to do it, advised against it, but once Cory surpassed Thurmond’s record, Schumer tries to bask in reflected glory.
Now that’s the kind of history that should be taught. He broke a record set in 1957 that was to prevent Civil Rights for all, with a speech that wants Democracy for all. Well Done Senator Booker, Well done 👍🏾
@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
Joy, just want to jump in n say how much you’re missed…
Your views n analysis taught me something every night over dinner.Who won the week, my friend? YOU ♥️
Miss your smiling face .
He changed me yesterday. I mean my operating system has been affected. I don’t even have words for what happened but seeing humanity in all its glory has restored my faith in Faith. So many who got up and spoke to their faith and we didn’t even know because it’s real not performative…❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Senator Booker completed a feat of extreme strength and endurance to bring attention to the very real problem of maga hate. Compare that to trump and vance who knowingly lied about black people eating pets to bring attention to a perceived problem of a town becoming more diverse. Cowards !!!JC4L
Need someone with practical leadership to match bookers good intentions... a big talk is all good and well but when you give unanimous consent for a vote 15 mins later.. it's taking the sting out of the speech.
Dems need some actions that match these words.. Otherwise it's just words.
I personally do not like Booker's approach to politics, but I have to give him a thumbs up on this. Hopefully, it works to get people thinking, talking, and doing.
Let’s hope that #April1 will be hailed as the inflection point where the end of Trumpism became inevitable.
There will be a moment when #MAGA realizes that they didn’t win the election, only billionaires did. They and liberals will suffer equally because their needs didn’t matter to Trump anyway.

Why hasn’t the trump administration issued an unemployment report?
