Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

Read aloud "The diary of Anne Franks" repeatedly. Then perhaps a biographical book I read as a kid called "The Tuskegee Airmen" Plenty of titles
Cory Booker.
Speaking from the Senate floor, 04\01\2025
Jfc these people have the strategic thinking of a green fig beetle.
(if you’re not familiar, they are especially clumsy large flying bugs that bounce off…everything really. But they try.)

Don't join him in solidarity. Sleep, then relieve him so he can. Keep it going indefinitely.

Other Democrats are now joining in the protest, including Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith.
Winning a presidential election in 2028 shouldn’t be the focus now. Stopping the damage before then should be.
it’s only a matter of time before a colossal failure or a major act of terrorism exposes the incompetence of this so-called government. Whatever happens, it will undoubtedly go down in history as a catastrophic moment
If there are members of the GOP there trying to go about Senate business, I haven't seen them.
The other one will be wrong too.
1) This is an essential step
2) Blocking unanimous consent and cloture are ALSO essential steps
I’m not expressing a “good/bad” opinion I just haven’t yet seen this explained in any great detail
Trump never stopped running for president which never gave anyone in office any peace.
We need all hands on deck, Kamala, Hillary, Obama & Biden.
Everybody with talent PLEASE call him out everyday.
Hold rallies, we will all come
Two years ago, Musk decided humanity was at a fork in the road and embarked on the strategy that put Trump in the White House and created DOGE.
Someone trying.

@coons.senate.gov
Are you in for supporting your colleague @booker.senate.gov
What Booker apparently fails to understand is that his GOP peers, either out of cowardice or malice, ARE OK with Trump’s *regime*.
BTW...where is Schumer?
He needs to take a few shifts
Get in the game, gentlemen.
Block all nominees.

We need you both, Kamala, Hillary, Obama, Biden & even Bush.

It’s a speech to keep floor open, to speak of the country in crisis.
#goodtrouble
Did SOMETHING to protest this BS
This shit otoh is weak and obviously performance art.
Until then, I'm reserving judgment but really REALLY hope this is amazing.
Even a small act of defiance gives us a rallying point and, more importantly, shows that we’re not alone in resisting the abhorrent policies of this regime.
Other Countries see the people have risen, they need the voices in leadership out here doing it 🤗
You give me hope
Thank you for setting the example
Props to Senator Chris Murphy
Whose next

Elbows up!
Unfortunately, Schumer will probably censure him 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Schumer sucks.
It is vile and grotesque that people who used to be republicans and are now Maga probably don’t care and may not even be listening.
This is why Trump installed Alina Habba in NJ. She going to "investigate" Booker. (and Phil Murphy) Why? Because is he up for re-election.

@cantwell.senate.gov
Get ready to tag in Senators!!
Does he have an exo-skeleton under there, helping him stay standing?
Is it a stillsuit from Dune? To keep hydrated?
What is the point of having gays on the Democrats' side, if they are not used? Gay guys - help the brother out - he needs a suit that fits him, pronto!
Keep it up, Mr. Booker, we see you!

hoping this helps your colleagues grow some vertebrae

Thank you @corybooker.com
Go Dems! Filibuster as long as you can 🙏🏻🥳✊🏻🫶🏻✌🏻
THANK YOU for leading the way.
THIS @schumer.senate.gov is why YOU should be stepping aside. You are no leader. What Booker is doing is what leaders do.
The party needs to support him.
There are 47 democratic senators, if they want the poll rating to go up, they need to step up their game and tap in and keep this going!
It is later than yinz think!

Might be interested in this current example of a democratic senator using the filibuster to block a vote.
Comes back to the cloture question of last month.
what has she said that no other dem hasn't?
what solutions has she brought up?
...
That's how you sound right now. Just thought you should know!
🙄👌
Bro, you are a fucking DULLARD. Please excuse yourself from further conversation while the adults are talking.
the same thing until the leadership
offers them some concessions!

Isn't that what Americans were supposed to be all about? Or was it all just hot air?
ALL OF YOU.
Stand up.
NOW.
You do not have to worry, any longer, of the 'danger' of 'being the first'.
Shut this *&^%$#@! Senate down until they can do something like uphold and defend the Constitution you swore an oath to defend.

Be happy somebody standing up in the Senate
Are they bots that are complaining? Did I get fooled by bots?
Some people can only express their fear through complaints.
I am glad we finally have someone using the tools available
FFS, haters: the fact that it’s not *enough* doesn’t mean that it’s not a start.
Why would you expect that streak to end now?
I sincerely hope @booker.senate.gov is starting what becomes a 🔥 of necessary action w the Dems & I give him props for standing up
Solid work. 👍

Trump is a Foreign Backed COUP Figurehead "Useful Idiot" .. This is not an Administration , This is a Regime , And the USA is "Occupied" ..
How about showing some leadership here?

The only thing, the only thing holding the Trump regime to account are the courts, and if the government is shut down, so are the courts. It was the right thing to do, imnsho.

There is value of "performance" in opposition: Staging a bit of drama gives non-MAGA voters a cause to rally around, while it also makes Dem’s positions visible to the MAGA voters who only see Fox.
