Admirable work representing his constituency and the rest of the country. If only all Dems were so brave.

Probably more destruction of jobs and MGT running her mouth for no reason

Thumbs up to Corey Booker. Thumbs down to Chucky and Fetterman. There's a thing called leadership, exercise it Chuck!

And in the meantime, the house is now out for the rest of the week because they couldn’t get along

God love him, I do too

chaka1053.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is impressive …seems like he just started

techwitch.bsky.social•8 days ago

That’s the recording from when he started last night . The live feed is linked below.

25 hours!

Way to go!!!💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

badfur64.bsky.social•8 days ago

Nothing important was scheduled tonight, that's the point of this "performance".
He COULD have done this before the budget vote,..
He COULD have done it before any important Friday vote, keeping the effers there all weekend.
But no, that would actually hurt the interests of the "opposition"

amberlink.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why?

Have Democrats done fuck all to protect the American people so far from the orange turd? Fuck this performance theater.

dbrown1283.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s not a filibuster because there were no bills on the floor

mpulskamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

What was it for?

thewitsend.bsky.social•8 days ago

He started at 7PM But that was 8 hrs ago. He was saying he voted to end something (cloture?) to allow something (the budget#s? reconciliation bill?) to come to the floor. Then filibuster it. May aim for record 24 hrs.
I keep checking in. Can’t even remember!

Lights out now. I’ll see when I get up

rableakley.bsky.social•8 days ago

All Congressional Democrats need to get into some good trouble. We the people are protesting but need them to start helping us rein in this evil regime.

abelthethird.bsky.social•7 days ago

House got into some good trouble today too. Good start. #wearetheflood

Right now (508pm some 21 hours and change in ) there are over 77k people watching live on the AP. Feed alone

Chuck “I thought it was a costume ball!” Schumer’s next!!
Up Chuck, up Chuck, up Chuck…!🤮

cageyc.bsky.social•8 days ago

One of my fav movies since childhood. Thank you for referencing it. 💙

cageyc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Start the revolution without me?

I don't know what to say. I am impressed. 👏

susan-schwaiger.bsky.social•8 days ago

Wow, you mean there is a Democratic Senator or Representative that is still alive? I thought they all passed away from being frozen 2 1/2 months.

techwitch.bsky.social•8 days ago

Sen. Cory Booker is not just showing proof of life, but he’s giving a lively speech.

themer2024.bsky.social•7 days ago

My hero.

kb3hae.bsky.social•8 days ago

Mister Booker , thank you for rocking the room!

pat70460.bsky.social•8 days ago

mpulskamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

What did his speech block or do?
It was a big hard thing, but holding your breath for three plus minutes is pretty hard and doesn’t really change anything.
Cool, but so what?
I really want to know.

twztedtale.bsky.social•7 days ago

He spoke to a nation while the world listened in to his poignant words of the 💩 happening in the USA & the dismantling of our checks & balances & the burning of the Constitution to allow massive tax cuts to the ultra wealthy while raising costs & harming the rest of us, for a start! Maybe ✅ it out

mpulskamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

O k a y, but it didn’t block any vote or anything?
So the headline will be “Politician talks for over a day.”

twztedtale.bsky.social•7 days ago

No it didn’t block legislation! It wasn’t a filibuster! It was an over 25 hr speech to a nation! Got lots of coverage, made history, & inspired the world that the USA is not lost!

Some actions are more powerful & historic than *checks notes* blocking a vote!

mpulskamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

Call me skeptical, time will tell I guess.
I hope it fixes everything.

twztedtale.bsky.social•7 days ago

It won’t fix everything but it is a start! Every journey has to start somewhere

twztedtale.bsky.social•7 days ago

My 13 yr old granddtr was at the WH yesterday she’s visiting DC this week! She doesn’t “care” about the HISTORY making rn but she will look back on the time she was there when history books record the powerful action of one man, Cory Booker, who spoke for 25+ Hrs for a nation while the 🌎 listened
