I wandered around this city I love for hours this evening, listening to him and visiting all my favorite places. It was a day that will live in my head for a long, long time.
He is amazing! Passionate and powerful. Cogent, convicted, and convincing! After 19 hours! trump can't speak for 19 seconds without devolving into word salad.
I have been watching. This has been eye opening and emotional. I am proud to have witnessed it and proud of my Senator, Chris Murphy, for sticking in out with Sen. Booker.
I’m SOBBING Heather! I haven’t turned the TV off since this started. @booker.senate.gov has given me HOPE & I truly have been distraught that I’d lost all hope. 💙💙💙 This is incredible!
I was sitting outside my son’s rehearsal in the dance studio lobby watching on my phone, with three other parents who had all been watching intermittently. Extraordinary moment.
This is the kind of action the 🌎 has been waiting for. Please 🇺🇸, RISE UP and meet @booker.senate.gov’s effort and commitment to make change. We are ALL watching and waiting. ❤️ from🇨🇦
It’s been magnificent, an inspiration at a time when we’ve been served up such disappointments and disillusion from our President and the entire Republican Party. How remarkable!
I want to feel like this is all great, but I dont know what it accomplishes. I am not saying this to be anti booker, but an explanation would be wonderful.
I was so moved by his expression of true patriotism. That was incredibly inspiring. We are bearing painful witness to so much history right now. This was one I can feel good about.
I was lucky to see it right away last night. Had to sleep but I’ve been watching since 5:00 a.m with a few small breaks. Amazing! So much history and history being made.
I was late to the broadcast, but having been watching for the last 4 hours. If only his GOP colleagues in the senate had even half of @booker.senate.gov 's courage and strength. Maybe they'd stand up to Trump and Musk and do what's right.
Well, I'm not saying he's a monster - that's not the point. The point is that this is a protection racket, and extortion is illegal under U.S. laws. I don't want prosecution based on how I feel about anyone. I want prosecution of people who break the law.
I was beginning to think I was no longer capable of crying real tears— I’ve been so numb with the constant barrage of heinous news— but watching the last 30 minutes of his speech cracked me open. I needed that. We needed that. And we need so much more of that. Who’s next? 👏👏👏
This is America. This is inspiring. I’m in awe of this patriot. The constitution lives in his heart. Go Senator Booker Go! Thank you for standing for us all.
He is trying very hard to emphasize shared experience, common human values, and collaborative process. With the help of his aids, he has stayed generally forward looking (even with historical references) and optimistic.
We need more of this energy from everyone fighting FOR the soul of America.
To think of the darkness of heart that was the fuel behind Strom Thurmond's filibuster only makes #CoryBooker's Senate floor 24+ hours the lighter, the greater, the more magnificent.
I watched as much as I could. It was an honor and I got to see his concluding comments. History making for sure. And couldn’t have asked for a more eloquent well spoken message. 🔥 He delivered it with passion, clarity, and the urgency this moment requires.Thank YOU @corybooker.com
Same. Watched 8 hours straight today. So honored to witness the moment and deepen my own knowledge of how our lost departments and agencies support Americans every day.

Amazing to watch. Heck, just from a physical perspective this is an amazing feat. From a political perspective this is bringing the nature of the crisis we are in more to the public eye. It's not going to fix things, but it's one good step.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov
When “leaders” say they can’t do anything without holding the majority, THIS proves them wrong.
Bravo @booker.senate.gov!!!
