"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
🚨🚨 CALL TO ACTION: Send messages of support to Senator Cory Booker! Send the message to a Democratic Senator. Let's overwhelm Cory Booker with gratitude for what he's doing. Let's show other senators what happens when they stand up & fight! Let's encourage them to follow Sen Booker's example!! 🚨🚨
Hopefully this is a sign the party is getting into fighting shape.
It’s easy to confuse “AOC gets me be like her.” With the party just needs to disrupt. Disrupt. Disrupt. Disrupt. We’d even cheer Schumer if he looked more like he is disrupting. Pick up Mitch’s reaper costume and disrupt.
Yes.Ma'am. Watched before I went to bed and turned iyt on when I woke up and still watching. EVERYONE SHOULD BE WATCHING. Cory is AMAZING and should be the new leader of the minority party. They need to chuck, Chuck already.
“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 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. 🌓✨

I’m sorry - I don’t understand why speaking all night to an empty room amounts to anything. What am I missing? I respect Sen Booker, but I don’t understand this.
He should have done this during the cabinet hearings or the recent bank overdraw action. This is pointless showboating and I'm tired of all the big accounts cheering him on.
Yes, But I will give cheers to him doing something other that crafting a letter or a resolution that won't go anywhere. Yea its perfomative, BUT it shows they are at least alive and MAYBE hearing that we are pissed.
I've read enough stories, both historical and fictional, to know that heroes seldom come from times of peace and plenty. When the days grow dark, the souls of some will answer the call to greatness.
Where was Cory Booker in 2024? Where was Cory Booker who has pictures of young Black kids on his website as this administration has attacked DEi, where has he been since January? This is performative
It may be, but this performance took a lot of effort, so I’m here for it because this is the level we need constantly from all of them from now on - or we lose democracy. He’s setting the new bar right now.
Everyone turn their devices to it, whatever they are. Jack up the views. Tell all your peeps and fam and the folks next door. As he gets closer to 24 hours, the MSM will notice, and the message will sweep over the nation and the world. #GoodTrouble
💯 behind Sen. Booker on his effort to disrupt the normal operation of the Senate. But, if that’s his goal, can someone explain why he chose to take the floor at 7:00 PM? What business does the Senate do at night? Serious question!
#GoCory
I stayed up until 4:00 a.m. watching him, and the first thing I did when I woke up just now was turn the TV back on to see if he was still talking. 👀 He is an American HERO for fighting so hard for us by doing this.🇺🇸💪♥️
Senator Cory Booker on the YouTube AP Live channel playing on my TV for hours now. 👏 👏 👏 Bluesky on my phone. Keep standing and keep watching! Get everything on record Democrats! Keep going
Don't just like or repost this, copy the hashtag #RollingFilibuster and tag a Democratic Senator, tell them they better rest up to do their own filibusters when @booker.senate.gov gets done!
Someone get this guy some coffee, wow
And yes, I’m still listening to him and sharing this as long as he can keep this up. He’s not giving up, neither are we

WTG!

@amyklobuchar.com today I'm a little bit proud of Senate Democrats.
Give them strength to continue to flex!!
Agreed. I’m no fan of Schumer, and often not my own Senator Booker, but I’m glad they are doing this and not just bending the knee like Schumer did with the CR. He got NOTHING for those votes. NOTHING.
I mean this was "something" for sure, and I'll give him credit but what did he do? Cory and company reject leftist views and do their thing. Corey is caked up from AIPAC too.. While I acknowledge and respect the historic nature of this speech, dems need to come to the table with leftists.
I think one shouldn’t underestimate the symbolic and strategic power of moments like this speech. It doesn’t replace deeper policy shifts, but it can open space for broader conversations and perspectives.
“This is not a right or left moment. It’s a right or wrong moment!”
- Sen. Cory Booker
I feel it, and I'm not undermining what he did here. I think it was a great gesture for sure. But immediately afterwards they voted to approve a Trump cab pick, and they shoulda just stalled everything. We're tired of the theatrics He's also pretty heavily backed by AIPAC and supports their agenda.
I, like many other Danes, am deeply concerned both for and because of your country. From abroad, I don’t see the details you do — but I see the inspiration and hope Booker offers when it’s most needed, to rally people inside and outside the U.S. for democracy.
It's a bit more fucked up than what's on TV honestly. Dems here are basically Republicans in Europe. They promise a lot of good stuff, but say "oh no we can't do that sowwy" and go take corporate money. Booker is one of them too. The leftists here get primaried out by the establishment.
Cruz read Dr Seuss in his support of denying healthcare to the American people. Booker has read letters from his constituents to support keeping the basic needs for humans!
Should've started two months ago, but I'm definitely not going to shit on someone for finally stepping up. Nice to see a Senate Democrat with a spine for the first time in ages.
EPIC! WE NEED A LOT MORE THAN BOOKER'S Mr. Smith Goes To Washington valor. NOW need a constant narrative of Military Constitutional Oath Removal of this administration from the MEDIA-IE: @maddow.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com @allinwithchris.bsky.social @11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social @meidastouch.com ETC

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

And thank you, Jess Piper. Your Substack essays and BlueSky posts are so essential to spreading the word. 🙏

One thing Cory’s speech has shown.
Dem leaders suddenly have backbone.
A strong new look. We aren’t afraid.
We’re ready to fight! Lead the parade!
