"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.
Speaking from the Senate floor, 04\01\2025
“You gotta unclench your ass cheeks, unpucker your asshole, relax your jaw, and shake it off. All that adrenaline locking up your frame, threatening to warp the chassis, you better let it out. Release steam.”
Senator Booker can tell "How to get the drop on tRUMP in the future Impeachment Proceeding".
Or how I could lend him a 40 minute dissertation on Trump's miserable golf swing & brutal golf game overall...that fucker Trump does not even putt out. Surrender your trophy, you cheater!
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. 🌓✨

He's going to talk as long as he is able. “I rise with the intention of getting in some good trouble — I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able.”
That's because Sen Booker is a BEAST who is giving us all hope - especially on the eve of election day, standing for us and with us.
We have until the end of Sept to FIGHT THIS. (reconciliation ends 9/30) The tide is rising, protests are growing - it's going to work. It has to.
He's literally bringing tears to my eyes - OMG! For as long as he stands and speaks - I will be here watching, listening, with him. His passion is moving my heart.....I hope people HEAR HIM!
We need to use the word as it's history being made - FILIBUSTER!
A traditional filibuster like we haven't seen since 2016. He's young...so i'm PRAYING he beats the 24 hour 18 minute record set back in 1957.....to put it into the history books which is where it belongs. GO SEN. BOOKER! I'm with you!
Thank you for tagging them!
I *have* been corrected that because this isn't tied to specific legislation, it's not a formal filibuster by definition. It's a marathon speech in protest of proposed cuts....which I absolutely respect.
And I hope Kelly and Gallego stand up like Schumer is right now.
(I do feel vindicated that Sen Murphy posted that he will be there with Booker the full time - and *HE* called it a "filibuster"....so there's that LOL)
Unlike some in the govt we've seen - I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong.
I've been respectfully corrected - this is NOT a filibuster as there isn't tied to specific legislation. This is a marathon speech in protest - which I respect 100%. (I can't edit posts, so I'm just following up)
will you, @chuckschumer.com , @senatorheinrich.bsky.social , @lujan.senate.gov??? What are you doing that's more important than this? This should have been Plan A from January 20th on! Lazy & unprepared!
Lost all faith in the Damn Dim Dems as they sat back and watched Al Greene be humiliated. Only Jasmine Crockett and a few others are worth anything. Tits on bulls are Far More useful than most of the Dems especially Chucky and Hakeem. Cory speaking forever isn't going to do Shit!
Everyone write your Senators to join them. If they all do it one after the other they can shut the Senate down for days until they decide to take real action against tyranny. I just wrote to mine.

This is it. This shit right here is what we need!
We are ready to fight in every way possible but up until very recently we didn’t have a person(s) we could look too!
Because of that myself and people like me are ready
Casting director: Whacha have in mind?
P: A white guy. In a suit. Then hit him in the head with a hammer.
CD: Wouldn’t that kill him?
P: You’re right, use a 2x4. He’s a “successful” idiot & surrounded by sycophantic babysitter enablers.
Or how I could lend him a 40 minute dissertation on Trump's miserable golf swing & brutal golf game overall...that fucker Trump does not even putt out. Surrender your trophy, you cheater!

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!
That's the good trouble we've all been waiting for 🙌 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will follow - Whose next?!?!
