I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Immediately after Booker yielded the floor, the Republican Senator from Idaho called for a confirmation vote of Matthew Whitaker to NATO - one of the things Booker’s filibuster had blocked all day. No one’s listening. Lol.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

The fact that the corporate legacy media is even having this event shows how little they understand the moment we are in and how little they intend to fight back. Support fearlessly independent media.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms. I’m a firm NO — on cloture and final passage — on this ‘CR’
