Why? I do not think Senator Booker is speaking up to break a record. He is filibustering to get Senate attention and reaction. And yours. Not a race. Not a challenge. Time to quit this nasty competitive attitude....
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. 🌓✨

If there's a Hell, Satan's gonna drag that shitweasel Strom Thurmond's putrid, festering, racist, segregationist, white supremacist soul up from The Pit to the US Senate Gallery to make him watch the moment Senator Booker takes the title from him.
I would bet money on it at this point! More importantly, though, it has been an extremely informative filibuster. No reading the phone book or War & Peace into the record on this one. The amount of news that he and the other senators have been sharing with anyone willing to listen is so important!
I really hope he can make it to 24 hours and 18 minutes beat that record but we do have to admit that Strom had one advantage he was dead from the waist up...no brain no pain
Agreed!
Thank you @booker.senate.gov!
@democrats.senate.gov, @housedemocrats.bsky.social, @democrats.org PAY ATTENTION!
We want to see a LOT more of this fight and energy!
This is NOT a chance for all of you to send out fundraising messages!
It is your chance to listen and learn!
Stand up and fight!
Stand up and fight the #FascistGOP, Trump, Musk and their enablers and their agenda of #EVIL!
We are energized and we are angry!
If you can’t find a way to help and to show leadership and to help harness our energy and your energy, then get out of our way!
America & democracy are worth fighting for!
It would be a lot better if they were doing a filibuster of the #EVIL agenda of Putin’s #KompromatPuppets, the #FascistGOP, Trump, Musk and their enablers!
But we have to start somewhere and I am encouraged by this!
We are angry and we are energized to defend America and our democracy!
Let’s roll!!
He started at 7p, per Wikipedia & every other source I've been able to find. So he just has to make it to 7:19 pm or later. Less than 4 hours more. I think he can do it!
Unfortunately, no. Other Senators can help him rest his voice by asking looong questions, but the rules say he has to continue speaking (and standing) and no one can take over the floor for him. You are absolutely right, though. This train needs to keep going!
So if he yields and completes his speech, another senator can't hold the floor in the same way and start their own? This is what I've had trouble finding on my internet searches. Or have someone take the next day. It'll slow it all down.
Can we get #RollingFilibuster trending by tagging all the other senators that should be resting up for their 24+ hours filibusters once Booker finishes?

We support empathy and doing the right thing. We support standing up to the weak and insecure fascist Administration.
We are the People.

God, I hope he doesn't give up after he breaks the record.
Thank you @corybooker.com
And no shortage of latter-day Stroms in any event.

Booker's is for love.
Love is going to win here.
I wonder what his plan is.
