Senator Cory Booker has launched a dramatic, filibuster-style speech on the Senate floor, speaking nonstop since last night and preventing the chamber from conducting its scheduled business.
Thank you for posting this! This comment legit made my day. (And you’re Dawn…like Dawn’s Early light? Just thank you for being out there in the world today!)
I am beyond impressed by Booker. We may have finally found the man of the moment. He should continue to speak out. Others should find ways of “good trouble”. He could start a cohesive movement against this administration. He should consider running for President.
Sorry my fat fingers keep mistyping and cutting me off but my point is Cory Booker is amazing and being old I don’t know how he sustained that for hours. Even Bernie amazes me. I’m not decrepit by any means but I know my senior self. We dems need more of that and stop the circular firing squad mentality. Be unified, tough and no putting up with fascists.
What I’d love to see is after he steps down another brave senate dem gets up and continues. Then another and another!!! Performative it may be, but at least they are catching the attention of a nation needing action!!!!
That would be wonderful Not enough folks that that represent us have a voice. Come on folks, follow him and let us know we are not alone or doing nothing
I actually am finding it much more than performative. Truly informative and moving with his great use of all that time to bring to life the suffering and fear of everyday American peole.
This is the greatest display of patriotism of this generation! I have found myself with eyes welled with tears several times over the hours! Thank you, @senbooker !!
Senator Booker has spent every one of his hours speaking with inspiration and truth - not just randomly filling the time. I have so much respect for how organized, thoughtful and empowering his speech continues to be.
Go Senator...love the interaction with other Senators as well...and the passion with which the Senator continues to speak...I am praying for stamina for him to beat the record of a racist...
@senbooker gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
I was already close to tears and this did it!

Oof that gave me chills

Your comment brings tears to my eyes 💙
Love that!!! 💙
Cory is doing a fantastic job in bringing to light so many issues! He is organized and is hitting them head on.
can you even imagine the amount of work must have gone into his prep? it's astounding how well prepared he is.
He’s not even relying on notes. He knows what he is talking about, has empathy and speaks with passion. He will be the hero of our party!

I’m in awe. Especially for not using a bathroom. This is amazing.
Ha, that was my first thought being a senior. Where is the restroom? It is Is my first priority
I’m 61 and I’d definitely be wearing depends if I did this.
I would think he is, or perhaps a catheter.
I am 37 and would have to as well
I know, I was going to comment on attending the April 5 event being 3 hours

I watched the last 4 hours and it was extremely moving and impactful!!!! Definitely not simply performative!!!! Inspirational
That would be amazing!
This is what taking a stand looks like!
He is a HERO!!!! Not only using his voice and position for the People, but he is well prepared and well versed. BRAVO!!!!
This is giving me hope! Thankful for leadership like Senator Booker in these insane times

If you can’t give a speech as long as Cory, you shouldn’t be in the Senate. Period.
Cory Booker is on Fire!!!!
