Thank you to my senator @booker.senate.gov for speaking up!🗽
Good for him. I wish him the best luck.
Awesome. This is what should be done.
The two traditional American political parties have been replaced with a Schmittian Liberal Party (formerly Democrat) that's great at giving speeches and an equally Schmittian Democratic Party (formerly Republican) that glories in the deciding things. Neither are good at listening.
Once Sen. Booker gets tired can another Democrat continue where he left off?
97 minutes in.
Anger is a gift.
Hey finally a Democrat doing SOMETHING even if it's performative. This is resistance and it must be done by every congressional Democrat if they don't want to get primary'd
👑🙏🏾💯🔥🎉#SenatorBooker #Visible
Thank you, Senator Booker! We need more Democrats prepared to fight for us. Democracy is at risk. Furthermore, MAGA is a cult. Therefore, Republicans who continue to support Trump are complicit and collaborators in this harsh nightmare of dictatorship.
Thank you, Senator Booker. Democracy is dying. Moreover, MAGA is a cult. Therefore, republicans that keep Trump in power now are collaborators in this cruel nightmare dictatorship.
Someone buy this guy a case of Red Bull!!
Thank you Cory!!!
This is exactly what Democrats need to be doing. Say out loud that Trump’s policies are illegal, immoral, and injurious. This is not a normal administration and traditional politics aren’t enough. Make a huge freaking show of it. Make him own the consequences of his actions. Fight back.

Awesome! Start controlling the narrative and the news cycle!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not familiar how this works .. Can someone be queued up to take over when he’s tired ?
Does he get bathroom breaks?
He's taking questions from fellow Dems but not yeilding the floor!!
It seems the D I S A S T E R S Mr.President&Elon are doing took a 'big' time to be perceived by New Jersey Democrats! Congrats anyway!
Mr. President...
So much respect for @corybooker.com, if he replaces @schumer.senate.gov today, I won't even be mad at it! That's the good trouble we've all been waiting for 🙌 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will follow - Whose next?!?!
Thank you, Senator Booker!
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Where are the other Democrats to help him ? To support him? Even on principle ?at least he’s trying !!
He's taking questions from them. Try watching.
😱
Use language that the voter base understands. Hit in the gut not the head. SCAM, LIES, INFLATION, JOBS, WELFARE THIEF Block, fight, filibuster, do what ever you need to get to the #midterms and then all #dems and SCAMMED #republicans need to turn out, en masse. Motivate now, not later.
It’s nice to see someone finally standing up… Thank you, I hope you are successful and you’ve got a lot of support out here Enough nonsense is enough. We need adults in the White House. Not a scheming billionaire and his sidekick !!!! Kick it off… Save our country !!!!!
…..And take names !!!!
Can you sponsor him, like, $10 for every hour 🤔
Every. Single. Elected Democrat needs to do this. Dominate. Dominate. Dominate.
Somebody's running for president
Chuck Schumer needs to resign immediately! Corey Booker is the future of Senate Democrats! He is your leader he is your superior if you are a democrat of the Senate a bow down to Senator Booker. The rest of you are weak beyond measure. Old men who offered nothing.
Thank you!!! Yes our country is in crisis!! Whatever it takes to get their attention!! I applaud you!!👏👏Be our voice loud & strong!! For we are the American people that he swore to represent and that’s not happening!!
So he’s holding the floor after the vote is over to disrupt business? Sounds totally legit and not at all like a PR stunt.
Honestly… this looks F’N STUPID in shadow of Chuck Schumer and 9 most senior democrats voting for Trump’s CR.. that Trump THANKED Schumer for getting passed for him! All without SENATOR Booker vehemently protesting! 🤦🏽♂️ You look like a damn fool bro!! …go hold Bernie & AOC’s beer.. they HAVE A CLUE!
@booker.senate.gov @thedemocratsmv.bsky.social Sen Booker, your time would be better spent working and supporting Dem Members running for House and Senate seats. GOP nor Trump care about your speech and how does it help get Dems elected or stop GOP Supported Musk nonsense? Get busy helping Dems.
🇺🇸 @booker.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov 🇺🇸
@cnn.com should be broadcasting live fillibuster by @booker.senate.gov Americans deserve to know someone is fighting for them.
He's up for re-election in 2026. It's all about trying to avoid a competitive primary. Applaud the spirit, but let's be real about its impact/what it will accomplish.
Support him!!!
Too bad Rosario Dawson can't be be there and with live footage of all that will transpire on and around tha floor. C-Span get ready.
Yes! ✊

Good
You go CORY
Finally finally. Fire Schumer!
You love to see it! Thank you!
Something is better than nothing I suppose. I wish you well sir, good vibes to you.
Still going at 4am!

Thank you Senator Booker for standing up for Americans!
Finally! I'm happy to see more Democrats stepping up to the fight.
If you covered this live and in its entirety, you might have people watching CNN again.
Preach, Senator!
And someone else better pick up where he leaves off on the floor
Thank you @booker.senate.gov
Yawn. Empty words, broken promises. Does anyone really believe Booker anymore?
I applaud @booker.senate.gov And I mourn that it took this fecking long.
Thank Cory Booker! That is a leader who stands up for his constituents and the American people! We are with you. If I were there I would stand with you.
Will this be the year of the DAU?
Knock yourself out. I'm going to bed.
Didn’t this nigga confirm his nominations
The longest filibuster record: 24 Hours and 18 Minutes. Strom Thurmond filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He failed, it passed. Today Booker stands on the right side of history and it using the filibuster to FIGHT BACK! LETS GOOOOO!!
The Man!! 💙💙💙
He's gonna need a Colt 45! Seriously...
Hey @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social, will you be joining Senators Booker and Murphy in this effort?
Talking at his Senate accomplishes nothing. Just consumes a bunch of oxygen. What is he going to DO???
Yep. Big sacrifice
I have no idea how he is doing this, but I'm so proud that he is one of our Americans! Good trouble, necessary trouble, Senator Booker!
Yahoo. Finally we the people have a voice.
Normally in a speech like this, you filibuster with some nonsense just to keep the floor. But with the Orange One, I'm not sure you could continue listing his stupidity and nonsense and not run out if you spoke for a straight year! #impeachtrump

It’s a protest. Booker ain’t really blocking anything. It’s personal show that benefits no one but himself. I’m not impressed.
Thank you @booker.senate.gov ! This is what we need.
Thank you Senator Booker! This is leadership!!!!!
Excellent he’s the one I voted for!!
Murphy will be joining him
#STANDUP
He couldn't finish a regular marathon let alone a marathon speech.. But good luck to him nonetheless. Hope he has enough water.
Dude had been going on for over 12 hours when you typed that comment, but go off. How long does it take *you* to run a marathon? Asking for the Blue Skies.
1 Hour 24 minutes to break the record!!
Call or write to thank him www.booker.senate.gov/contact
CNN please get rid of Scott Jennings
Please get rid of Scott Jennings
Cory Booker is truly setting the stage for a marathon! It's not just the endurance of his speech that's impressive, but the commitment to stand firm against the administration's actions. Here’s hoping the Senate coffee supply holds up! What issues is he tackling today?
Everything the 🍊🤡 has been doing.
Can someone give us more details? 🙏
There’s plenty to talk about. Enjoy 🍿
The Democratic Party is suing President Donald Trump over his sweeping executive order last week that attempted to wrest control of elections from the states. bsky.app/profile/marc...

Thank you Senator!!
Why is is he the only one?
This needs to happen all day every day.

He needs to take over as senate minority leader.
