A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act. As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

We needed eloquent leadership and fight. We got that today from Booker.

Booker on Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here in spite of his speech. I'm here because as poweful as he was, the people were more powerful."

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Trump is raising your taxes 25% tomorrow. Raising your cost of living by 25% or more. Sadly, this is NOT an April Fool's joke (unless he cuts some other "deal" to delay it a month at the last minute, like some cheap publicity stunt for TV ratings)a

Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.

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.

No, we are not letting him run for a 3rd term. Period. End of story. Every single journalist & news reporter better not entertain this in the slightest. They’re dangling this to groom people into eventually not even seeing it as crazy & wrong. Also, the 22nd Amendment. Ok, glad we had this chat!

Trump said he was not joking about the possibility of seeking a third term, claiming a lot of people wanted him to pursue it. While he emphasized he was focused on the current, he hinted at the existence of methods to make it happen.
