Sen. Cory Booker is still going. More than 16 hours.

Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours — taking aim at Trump, Musk, and America's 'moral moment'.

Just after hitting the 12-hour mark, Booker said, "I am standing here because of a national crisis that is growing."

"How can the central precept of our country, founded on on principles that are reflected in the good book, how can we say we should cut healthcare from the sick and the needy to give bigger tax cuts to Elon musk?"
Cory Booker.

My wife and I engineered the first online course about Ebola funded by US AID, so we are encouraging you to watch Corey Booker on the floor of the Senate right now. https://www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2VbdLS4?si=9BRkJBRkqeOQZq-8

Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster ever—bold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And we’re with you. 🌓✨

Need all democrats to show this level of grit and block ambassador nominations as well. Make him feel it

resistaustria.eu•13 days ago

While running up and down and doing the Rocky thing on top? I don't think that would have the intended effect.

uelos.bsky.social•13 days ago

Maybe not as performative but def need the impact of blocking them

keiranelizabeth.bsky.social•13 days ago

We need to make sure that this is trending hard digitally. Spread the word that people need to subscribe to him as much as possible!

@booker.senate.gov

This is the Senate’s agenda today - the longer Booker speaks the more he disrupts the calendar and schedule!

I cannot say thank you enough for posting this

renaitre.bsky.social•13 days ago

Bravo! @booker.senate.gov Please keep fighting for the people. Maybe you could remind @fetterman.senate.gov #PA voted for him because he claimed he was PROGRESSIVE.

I can’t even talk for 2 hours straight. I’m so impressed

Really hoping he wrecks Stroms record

They are allowed water and food I hope...

daknls2006.bsky.social•13 days ago

I popped in for a few earlier and saw other Democrats requesting time and asking long winded "questions" to which he requested to yield back his time when they were done. They are working together to help him get through it.

dropdea.bsky.social•13 days ago

And yet corporate media is not covering it. Because they're terrified of an obese, syphilis-brained piece of shit with orange skin.

bethhigdon.bsky.social•13 days ago

MSN have been live streaming it.

dropdea.bsky.social•13 days ago

Who?

bethhigdon.bsky.social•13 days ago

MSNBC

A part of NBC

You know the legacy media.

dropdea.bsky.social•13 days ago

So good.

cooltxchick.bsky.social•13 days ago

Have they?

bethhigdon.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yes, on their YT
MSNBC

What happened to the cocaine they found in the white house last year? Somebody give it to Cory so he can keep going asap

blueresisterinca.bsky.social•13 days ago

Can another Democrat take over after Senator Booker is done?
Democrats need to keep this up. Put a stop to the Dictatorship of the Convicted Felon.

rrobert11.bsky.social•13 days ago

The steps of Independence Hall would have been a better venue and garnered far more attention.

sirbradwi.bsky.social•13 days ago

But that wouldn't have held up the business of the Senate. He chose this spot for that reason. To grind Congress to a halt.

rrobert11.bsky.social•13 days ago

If you say so

katzst.bsky.social•13 days ago

Rockstar who truly gives a gotdamn!!!

thestreetfa.bsky.social•13 days ago

What will this accomplish, my guess is nothing.

daknls2006.bsky.social•13 days ago

It stops Congress from getting anything done and brings attention to the issues we are fighting...but since MSM is bowing to The Cheeto-in-Chief, nobody is covering it.

thestreetfa.bsky.social•13 days ago

Hopefully it inspires other Dems to do something. Shutting down business for a day isn’t really that big a deal if that’s all this amounts to.
