I don't know how the US can sit here and ignore our 1.66 birth rate. We need to make having and raising kids affordable. That means universal pre-k and universal healthcare. If we don't, we're not escaping the demographic freight train. #Kurzgesagt youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk?...

Workers who want to join unions should not be afraid of big corporations like Wells Fargo. Workers must be able to bargain for better wages, better hours, and better working conditions without illegal corporate intervention. We must pass the PRO Act.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Senator Tim Kaine pushing to block Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada: "Tariffs are a tax. Tariffs will hurt our families. Canada is not an enemy. Let's act together to fight fentanyl...but let's not label an ally as an enemy, let's not impose punishing costs on American families..." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@booker.senate.gov gives a tremendous effort in response to the frustrations of his constituents, Wisconsin gave a big middle finger to Musk, and my local township trustee Dems (all great people) flipped their seats blue! Great day & night when we really needed it! #LocalElectionsMatter #TeamFight

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor: “Let's get in good trouble." What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Senator Cory Booker has now beaten Ted Cruz' record for a speech on the Senate floor (21 hours and 19 minutes) in 2013. Way to go, Cory!!!!!! Next up: Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon who lasted 22 hours and 26 minutes in 1953. And only 3 hours to beat Strom Thurman's all-time record! Keep going!

Senator Cory Booker has started his 19th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster. "I don't understand how we can be a nation with so much wealth and abundance and we haven't figured out a way to design a system where, when you invest in the wellbeing of people, people thrive." Bravo, Cory!

Trump is gutting the VA and firing more Veterans than any other President in modern history. It’s a complete betrayal to those who answer the call to defend us. I’m helping Senator Booker hold the floor to show that unlike Republicans— Democrats have our heroes’ backs.

Welp, we tried to run bipartisan legislation so that Members with newborns could vote remotely, and rather than allow the legislation—the Speaker SHUT THE HOUSE DOWN and canceled votes for the rest of the week.  This is what’s happening in the House right now. ⬇️

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes). Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster! Come on, Cory!!!!!

"This time of despair and darkness doesn't demand more darkness, we don't need to demean and degrade those who don't agree with us, this is a time to do something bigger than that." Cory Booker explains how people are looking for leadership from the Democratic Party and other citizens.

Everyone should call Corey Booker and leave a message of support for his tremendous effort last night! (202) 224-3224. They need to hear from us when they do good, as well as not so good.

We salute 🫡 Sen. Corey Booker for honoring the legacy of the late John Lewis by getting in “Good Trouble” and disrupting business as usual on the Senate floor because we know the last 70 days have NOT been normal.

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

I've said plenty about Booker in the past, but I'm in on this. For those people saying "this is performative bullshit" yes welcome to politics. But considering most of our leaders are capitulating, I'll take this kind of performance any day of the week

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

Working with the Corey Booker filibuster in the background is helping. My shoulders are less clenched, my brow less furrowed, my emails far less terse. Now @alsobrooks.senate.gov is asking a 10 minute question. It's going to be interesting to see who else shows up to support Corey.
