He’s basically standing up and making sure the senate hears from the American people. He brought in letters from constituents and is reading them and has been speaking for several hours now. Basically delaying business for as long as possible.
No apologies. It's not a common tactic, but he's basically taken the floor and won't be giving it up and as long as he has something to say, they can't remove him. He standing up for what is right.
Your exemplary spirit! I am surely humble to see you speaking for 16 ½ hours, nearly stricken to exhaustion, but still speaking on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves! This is truly the America that I grew up in. This is why civil rights existed and fought without him, violence, being hoes, like animals, but proud and dignified, despite whatever ever happened.
Corey Booker has Single- handedly infused Americans today with new courage in your example of John Lewis and his good trouble! We all Americans should pause and exclaim. This man is an hero and we have lost sight of our humanity. His great respect and admiration. Robin Marcus.
Cory Booker..ANOTHER PATRIOT who refuses to roll over & allow trump regime to do any more damage. Thank you & we all know Sen. Booker will face consequences from both trump senate members & trump supporters…death threats and personal attacks…yet he is willing to stand up for his country. Thank you Corey Booker for your heroics.
As she does every day. Meanwhile, people seem to think the public is silent because no one else is covering the massive, myriad protests going on across the country EVERY DAY.
Exactly! I have to respond to our international friends who say ‘where are the Americans?’ because we are here and we’re loud, but just because you can’t see us doesn’t mean we aren’t out here. The mainstream media isn’t covering the protests, except for Rachel Maddow at the beginning of her shows every night on MSNBC.com
Sorry for multiple posts this evening, just trying to cover everything mainstream won't!
Never apologize for doing what we’re here for. Thank you for covering this!!! ♥️
Can anyone help with the filibuster? Sorry if this is a stubid question.
I had to look it up ! Basically he is standing up .. literally for us all !

I love this so much!! 💙
I see Chris Murphy is helping out too

Was wondering too?
Senator Chris Murphy just came up and spoke briefly a little while ago, so yes, but I don't know the rules.
As long as someone supporting the filibuster stands and speaks, the GOP is powerless.
Not a stupid question at all. I'd like to see a few other Dem senators volunteer to take over when Booker needs a break.
Never apologize for keeping us updated, we see and appreciate all of your hard work. It's nonstop.
I love multiple posts by you per day Aaron!
Please don't apologize. Appreciate you so much for keeping us updated.
Hope you feel better soon!
No need to apologise Aaron! None of us would’ve known about it if it weren’t for you. Thank you for your hard work 💙
Never apologize for being a good journalist and Podcaster and human.
Just made a donation to Cory Booker. He's doing what democrat we've elected should be doing.
Thanks so much for your critical coverage! You are appreciated and valued.
I’m rooting for you and

Please don’t apologize; I don’t know how you ever get any sleep. But know that you are so appreciated.
No apologies are necessary, Aaron, you are keeping us informed and we appreciate it!
Don’t apologize for giving us the news!! We appreciate you!
Never apologize for keeping us informed.
We appreciate you!!
Don't have to apollgize! Keep it coming! I wanted to know everything about this! It is important! Thank you for all you do. 👍🗽
This is what Substack and you do for us, thank you! 💪🏻💙
He’s from Jersey he can stay up for DAYS 👏👏👏👏
My Senator. This is something we all needed to see in order to feel that our country is fighting for us.
thank you senator Booker 👏 👏 👏
🙌
Can’t other senators take over, and extend the filibuster time? THEY SHOULD ALL BE UNITED!!
Some other Dems are asking questions and speaking for a while, presumably to give him a break, but I don’t know the exact rules.
Chris Murphy (CT) is speaking now — he’s a great Senator.
Chris Murphy is another dynamo! Keep it up, guys! ✊🏼🙌🏼👍🏼
I think that goes against the Filibuster rules.
No. It’s up to Cory to stand there for as long as he is physically able.
These are the rules of the Filibuster

Yep, a legit Patriot !!! Thank you Senator Booker !!!!
Rachel Maddow at least led with it.
And she’s still taking about protests and angry town halls—GO RACH!!
As she does every day. Meanwhile, people seem to think the public is silent because no one else is covering the massive, myriad protests going on across the country EVERY DAY.

Good job, Aaron. I am anxious to see if any mainstream TV, or even Press, cover it.
Keep it up, Senator Booker. I do not envy you the task, but I applaud both your courage and stamina, 👍❤️🗣️
