I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.

Morality is the question at hand. Not politics, not tax codes, not constitutions. These are all things that exist around morality. If you can look at what he has done and feel it's morally okay that's not okay with me or the ideals inherited at our nation's birth for all, however imperfect we are.
Thank you for showing up for Sen. Booker. I hope you'll be inspired by him, and do more to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Don't approve any more Trump appointments! Be a brick wall against everything the GOP is doing! These aren't normal times anymore, the rules are BROKEN.
I watched from the start & kept it on all night. I dozed off a few times, but every time I woke up, seeing him still talking gave me hope. I went out, rushed back to the TV, & he was still going. I’m watching him now. He’s done more for America than this entire administration combined. Go Cory Go!
I think this it is a Protect US Democracy moment. Thank you Sen. Booker & Klobuchar for your commitment to the preservation of US Democracy. May every DEM serving in Congress take their place in acting to serve & protect US Democracy.
Thank you, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, for joining Sen. Booker! We want to see Dems w more fight. This needs to be a true opposition party because the agenda for the other side this far has been atrocious and incompetent
Stop trying to hold this together. The right will NEVER agree with us. They will NEVER stop being cruel. They will NEVER stop doing the worst things imaginable to our country and the world. The way we all see the right, is exactly who they are now. We need to FIGHT them, not cowtow. Enough!
Agreed, the ones remaining loyal to Dump now are the most vile hateful fucks I’ve ever known. People like my step father who just have that hatred boiling inside them waiting for someone like Dump to rile them up about immigrants or whatever other dumb thing they don’t understand anything about.
Grab all of your D colleagues when you know this will end and get out there and give this man a standing ovation. A very loud one. Clap for us in the Midwest!
Thank you. Please ask Senator Booker to roll out Threads of his speech on Social media to ensure a further reach because as we know the GOP is blocking people from hearing the truth of what is happening in America. Maybe more testimonials of people touched by these EOS will change minds.
Thank you.
Now refuse unanimous consent.
Stop voting for administration nominees and proposals.
Use every procedure available to protect the American people.
Corey Booker is what we are looking for from all Democrats. You have been voting for some of Trump’s nominees in an attempt to be bipartisan. I hope you have realized that you can’t “go along to get along” anymore. We need to see you fight!
Apparently that is not allowed per the #Senate-filibuster rules. However, senators can be recognized by Booker to ask him Questions. This gives him time to rest his voice and drink some water. Not sure how long a time limit they have on questions though.
No, ma'am. You don't get to steal shine from a Black man for your 10 minutes of breaktime. Appreciated, but you're real late on doing the bare minimum.
Please read about ‘Project Russia’ - it's aligned with all the destruction Trump and his regime doing. It's the overall master plan.Trump is deliberately destroying the economy. He is doing this for Putin to create a new world order. It's described in 'Project Russia' https://bit.ly/4jhvi1A
For us old folks the cruelty of the GOP now, taking away everything that can help people reminds me of So called St. Reagan closing the mental hospitals. His legacy is the homelessness in America. Here we are again.
I don't how plainer to say it. Schumer's plan of trump crashing and burning will not work. Because the folks who should turn out for you don't think y'all will stand up for us.
All Senators should bring their sleeping bags & do an all nighter, like Cory Booker! Use your mouth nonstop & steal the ROGUE's 🍊💩 spotlight away from him. 🤬
Okay, then stop voting for any Trump nominees, don’t help the R’s passed a damn thing, and for the love of all that is holy, don’t do these weak ass pink paddle protests. Make noise, don’t legitimize his crap, literally sit out Trumps congressional addresses and tour the nation like Bernie and AOC
Why did it have to be a Black senator to finally step up and disrupt the work of the Senate? Where are the white Senators, why aren’t they willing to put their comfort on the line?
Senator Booker is the inspiring hero we fricking needed. We are here, we want to fight, we need leadership, and we aren’t giving actblue ONE MORE DOLLAR UNTIL ALL THE OTHER DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS START FIGHTING BACK - LIKE SENATOR BOOKER
I don’t know why after all the harm that the republican’s cause why they think they can win any election especially with all the POOR, Elderly, Disabled and the Vet’s that are being placed in peril with so many misguided policies.
Stand up and fight about what you stupid bitch? What exactly do you need to fight about? Can you clearly state your position? Or is it such a LOSING position, you dare not bring it up. Is it a position that would have rapists and murderers wondering our streets while crooks run our government?
Thank you for doing something. I would like to point out, however, that it is exactly a left and right thing. The difference in ideology is exactly what this fight is about. Conservatives have been planning something like this since Regan.
Thank you, Senator Klobuchar. It seems our leaders have forgotten that the goal is not for one side to overpower the other. The goal is to negotiate and compromise for the good of all. I appreciate any effort to stand up for what you feel is right regardless of party.
Things registered democrats can do to signal DNC they don’t believe in them anymore: remove democrat
Affiliation and replace it with “no affiliation”.
They don’t represent us anyway.
Send the Democratic party a note on their website, that you resign from the Democratic party and to discontinue any further fundraising mail, because you won't be sending any more money.
Been there & done that. My Senators & Rep still don't give a damn about any of their constituents. Instead they do the bidding of the lobbyists who bribe them. If we cannot take the party back from Wall Street, I suggest we destroy the idea of this 2 party system like most of the world.
This, 👆👆👆 Sen. @amyklobuchar.com. Fight back, for goodness sake. We are protesting where we can and boycotting businesses in bed with this regime, but we need real leadership right now, not lip service.
you didn't talk about not repealing section 230, which you plan on doing -- don't or, I will come to the senate floor and be removed because as a citizen, i can't filibuster such a stupid idiotic "plan"
Sen Klobuchar, Booker's filibuster is on YT & C-Span. I've tuned in on my phone (muted sound) so my view is counted without disrupting my day. If we all tune in, we can support Sen Booker & give courage to all other
D senators to Disrupt, Delay, & Deny the slide into facisim for at least 50 days.
Thank you for assisting @amyklobuchar.com ! This is a brilliant example of the use of limited tools to support resistance against evil. It is the proper use of the filibuster and should have been deployed much sooner.
They have done round table all nighter filabusters against nominees until they were stopped by repubs. On each one. They didn't start at the beginning. Which they should have. But they are getting the hang of it.
The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. We elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. Now his known tyranny happens. sad!
It’s about fvcking time. You and he and a bunch of others in 2020 threw your hats in the ring for president. But besides @petebuttigieg.bsky.social you all have been lacking in leadership in this time when we need it. I’m grateful that @booker.senate.gov has finally stepped up. But we need more now
I have to disagree. This IS a right or left thing. One side believes in human rights for all, one side believes in safety nets for all, the other side doesn’t, call it what it is.

We stand with Cory.
Where are the others?

People aren't stupid.
CHANGE. NOW.
Or be left behind.
Now refuse unanimous consent.
Stop voting for administration nominees and proposals.
Use every procedure available to protect the American people.
(I know. Wishful thinking. 😏)
#WeThePeople appreciate you!
You're pathetic.
A limp rag.
over 24-hours
It certainly isn’t Chuck Schumer.
And until he is gone, until the Senate Dems put a real fighter in place, 24 hours of talking is just words, words, words.
REPLACE SCHUMER!
STAND UP. SPEAK UP. HOLD THAT FLOOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
Figure out ways to stop them. If you CAN'T stop them,
SLOW THEM DOWN TO A CRAWL.
The American people are behind you!
When are democratic politicians going to realize they're only two types of people in this world now - those who fight fascism and collaborators.
We will never forget who collaborates.
I don't how plainer to say it. Schumer's plan of trump crashing and burning will not work. Because the folks who should turn out for you don't think y'all will stand up for us.
Fight back.
Now, who is staying up all night tomorrow? And the next day? And..?

Your Senate GOP colleagues have gone over the bounds of decency and you personally have collaborated.
I can applaud at times, but claiming its right or left denies reality
🙏🏻
STOP FUCKING VOTING for any Republican business!!!!!
We are in a category 5 hurricane
Both for it happening in the first place and for continuing to fervently support anything Trump desires, the country and her people be damned.
They can join decency by standing up at any point, but let's not pretend there's equality here.
Retain the Floor @booker.senate.gov
