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.

Sen. Cory Booker's words tonight should be heeded by each and every American. What is happening is not normal. It is not acceptable. And it is not, in any way, shape or form, American. America was founded on principles of freedom, of equality, and of liberty. All of which is being trampled.

Senator Cory Booker has started his 18th hour of a filibuster on the Senate floor. Thank you, Cory, for standing up for our veterans and the VA! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt β€œthe normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that β€œour nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. πŸ”— www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

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.
