Has Senator Booker lit the flame that the rest of his party was missing? Will they see the urgency to stop doing business as usual, plan a creative strategy, and unite with the courage to see it through?

I certainly hope so. This should not be wasted it should be built upon. We will see what they do now.
If you REALLY want to see a TRUE patriot of the United States of America, watch Cory Booker's entire record breaking speech.
Strom Thurmond is rolling over in his grave and I'm loving every second of it.
and then he spoke for another hour
Go Cory!!!!!
100%.

Can't stop my tears....💙
So proud of senator booker
How do you not pee for a day?
He said starting Friday he stopped eating and stopped drinking the night before 😳
WTF isn't he the leader of the Senate for the Democrats? I mean my God I don't think Schumer even took questions after he caved to basically do NOTHING AT ALL to counter the GOP proposal. This is a guy really doing something for once.
Cory Booker for Zpresident.
It’s nice to have some good feelings for a change
Does he know how proud Canadians are of him? Time for change. Let's go!
Bravo! Well done and eloquently so, sir! Thank you very much for the excellent, informative and thought-provoking lecture, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey! 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻💙🇺🇸💙
@nomad-norab.bsky.social
What a legend!
I don't even want to hear or see any of these lying Republicans after watching Cory Booker speak.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m crying here!!!
The last 30 minutes or so of the 24 hours has been one of the best speeches i’ve ever seen. Truly inspiring. #CoryBookerFilibuster
I hope he gets a week's worth of sleep! At times I thought he couldn't possibly go on any further...then BOOM! The energiser bunny has nothing on him!!
We Love you Cory Booker
Shut the fuck up Chuck. This isn't a sporting event. He's talking about the failure of the Democratic leadership! That's you!
💗
Thurmond's wiki is already adjusted 🤣
I love it that you checked!!!
Carry on Corey. We need you more than ever. Put some fire in the bellies of Congress. They have equal power to challenge the president who is just a meager man of inflated value.
🔥🔥🔥
Senator Cory Booker just delivered a record-setting speech in defense of democracy—passionate, principled, and inspiring. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz joked about pulling a fire alarm to stop him. We need more leaders like Booker, not obstructionists like Cruz. #LeadershipMatters #DefendDemocracy
I love that it was @booker.senate.gov who broke the record. It's so symbolic. 👏. This is the representation we need.
Can someone explain to me what happened here? I love this energy from D’s but was this not all theater? Won’t the right and those who voted that way just think “you spent 20 hours of our time speaking?”
Respect.
Senator Booker is the MAN!!! 🫡
Congrats, Senator Booker! Making some good trouble that was sorely needed. 👏
Way to go Cory! Now everyone will know and remember this time in history and how you defended democracy against this authoritarian regime.
I hope he gets some good rest now. We need him.
Thank you now break another record. Denounce AIPAC and other lobbiest
Great fighting spirit. Mad respect
Appropriately so, he also burned down the long standing record of a racist.
So fucking what. He only did to skip a hearing where he is the chairman collecting cash from the folks being questioned at the hearing. He loves him some big tech cash.
Fuck off Chuck Schumer
Good trouble
Now, can the rest of the effing Democratic Party get behind this guy, and AOC, and Bernie, and fight for us like we deserve?!!!!
Oh, and thanks for doing such a good job being a cheerleader Chucky! 🙄
So proud and appreciative of @booker.senate.gov, but no one needed to hear from @schumer.senate.gov
✊⚖️❤️🤍💙
💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
#GoCoryGo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

🥰 A moment in history.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Booker! For so many reasons, but mostly for the courage to stand up for what's right! Bravo!
Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster ever—bold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And we’re with you. 🌓✨ #StandWithBooker #DemocracyInAction youtu.be/i8cGjRlF7KY?...
An American.
TEN WEEKS TOO LATE!! AIPAC LACKEY! BARE FUKKIN MINIMUM! HE IS MY SENATOR. God the expectations for those we ELECT & PAY are pitifully low. The brainwashing is WAY beyond MAGA.
It was well timed for the WI election. Things have to be staggered. And since it will only get worse we can't do the fireworks finale at the beginning - we'll win in the midterms and then we can actually get a grip on things. imo.
AMAZING!!!!!!!
The man’s got bowels of steel.. 💙
Respect. This legend, Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ), just broke Strom Thurmand's 1957 Senate speech record...I am ecstatic that Booker achieved this particular infamy! He has lit for us a certain fire, forcing that door wider for us to charge through to then get into 'good trouble'...
Ya, well Booker said... "Hold my🍺" We ain't done yet...
Thank You Senator!
Unfortunate reality: Him breaking this record is overshadowing the message he just spent 25h5m delivering. The media needs to cover the message at least as much as they cover the act of delivering it.
Absolutely brilliant
I want to 😢 😭
Shut up Chuck and take notes
His final bit of his speech was great.
Fo for the THON record!
Thank you Senator Booker!!
It was profound… He’s laid the Dem road map…they better all get with him.
Get me enough energy drinks and I'm talking y'all into unconsciousness. The reason why I wouldn't do that: it's futile. Bet that Krasnov would sign the SAVE Act and anything else into effect with glee in the knowledge that his opposition has wasted time on him again.
There's only one thing the Republicans understand - Lost Elections! They could care less! Love the energy have to turn it into voter turnout and new voters registrations!
Chuck should truly recognize Booker’s accomplishment on behalf of Americans by stepping down.
And then he continued for what - 30 minutes?) - more. He made a record that will remain on the books for a very long time. He's fantastic. I hope he has inspired those bozos in the Senate & House to stand up to the 🍊💩 and his minions.
Thank you Cory! You inspire me!
The man doesn't even look tired!
Message to Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov stood on the senate floor for over 24 hours to stand up to Trump and his destructive policies. This is leadership and sacrifice Since you are unable to lead except the 10 democrat senators who voted with you. STEP DOWN 🫡 CORY BOOKER
Wasn’t Strom Thurmond some kind of white supremacist or something?
Love to see any Maga Reptile come close to his amazing stamina.
Schumer admiring a spine... touching.
Can someone explain to me… did he go pee or eat or 💩…
So much respect for Cory Booker. This has been amazing to listen to 🔥
👏👏👏 @senbooker 🙌🙌🙌 💙💙💙
I send you my thanks, support, and love. This is only the beginning of the fight. 🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸🌈🇺🇸 Trump will be ENGAGED AGGRESSIVELY on every front with GOOD TROUBLE. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Senator, you are a leader of leaders, a stateman, filled with wisdom, love & patriotism.
That's the most animated I've ever heard Schumer. Dang.
I’m so emotional 😭
Big same!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Mr.Booker..you make proud as I ovate you from my kitchen
SO inspirational. SO on point. Exactly what we needed to counteract this time of greed, self promotion and manipulative disinformation from Trump.
Every democratic politician should be putting in the same amount of work and effort for the American people. Now is not the time to sleep on democracy
WHO’s GOT NEXT?!?! Let’s Go Democrat Senators…line up ✌🏼❤️
Congratulations Senator Booker & thank you!!!
Mainstream news is not covering this, so let’s be sure to share this everywhere and give people hope!!! Don’t tell me that felon 47 has a mandate when 350 million people watched & supported Corey Booker’s speech thehill.com/homenews/sen...
So proud of my Senator. @booker.senate.gov
Booker carefully timed his content to highlight a Christian message from John Lewis: “Every one of us needs mercy. Every one of us needs redemption.”
Pointless stunt. It doesn't delay, let alone block or reverse a single toxic bill or nomination which is when he ought to have done this. Meanwhile, Ds are losing elections bc their former voters aren't fooled by this bs.
Great! Historic! I’m glad someone did something. But as long as they the Rs can rig the voting machines we have no hope of ever taking our country back.
Shocked I’m saying this as a leftist, but actually… no notes.
American’s were asking for a hero, here he stands. 👏👏👏
History made. Justice served. The great Senator Cory Booker got in good trouble. We have the leader we’ve been waiting for. 😭😭😭 @booker.senate.gov
Here’s some Marching Music for the 50501 Army. Enjoy! “They're not talkin' 'bout right or left They're talkin' 'bout... Right and wrong - do you know the difference?” Right and Wrong, Joe Jackson youtu.be/kLE4OxnasYs?...
You made me cry, again 💙
But it’s good crying 😭
Oh, it’s great crying! I’m starting to remember how hope feels 💙
Love
More of the Democrats need to get into "good trouble".
🔥🔥🔥
Nothing could have been better than Booker talking about one of the greatest members ever in Congress, John Lewis. As a member of SNCC in 63, my life has also been lived under the influence of the Great John Lewis - and have been getting into good trouble, retrospectively, since 4th grade in 1952.
Will he March on Saturday?
#GoodTrouble ♥️ 🤍 💙
www.poeticous.com/r-lincoln-ha...
Sen. Cory Booker's inspiring words are ringing in my spirit now. We're going to need to rely on the things he said in the coming days and weeks. I'm so grateful to have him to lead.
JUST IN ***BREAKING NEWS*** JD VANCE JUST REPORTED THAT ALL THREE MILLION PROTESTORS WERE PAID BY GEORGE SOROS!
Not surprised 😂
Do they ever realize they sound like idiots to non cult members?
What...I didn't get a check 😭
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of our country. Stand up, speak out. United we succeed! Divided is what trump/musk/vance/putin want so they can destroy all that we love and veterans fought for in past wars. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me ❤️ @5calls.org
👍
Strom Thurmond did it protesting the civil rights of 1957 as well.
Thurmond was a racist. Booker's a hero! .. Big difference!
Total icon!! That is leadership! That is determination! That is passion!💙
Give that man a beer 🍺 Outstanding ❤️🔥
The only thing of longer duration in the Senate than Booker's speech on the failings of Trump would be the GOP's silence on that same subject...
bsky.app/profile/slap...
Yes!! Let's all be inspired by him!
April 5th !!The working class out number the rich !!! Stop buying from the companies that did this to us !!Strike Protest !!! Rise up ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼🤍💙❤️ show the world ! Booker stood up for 25 hours to Tyranny !!! 100% independent journalists now !! Aaron Parson medias touch !!
So very proud 🥲
Did Cory call on his fellow Dems and people in general to attend and support the 5 April 2025 action events around the country?
Might be one of the great speeches in US political history. This was a structured, inciteful and passionate speech. For 25 hours. Cruz read Dr Seuss and Thurmond read the encyclopedia.
We’re so proud of you. Go, #CoryBooker go! #Jersey represent!🫡
Sen Booker broke the record of an old segregationist while excoriating a fascist regime for their reckless, lawless behavior. Replacing hate with love of the Constitution, country and fellow citizens. Fight like Sen Booker on April 5 and every day!
www.poeticous.com/r-lincoln-ha...
Absolutely INSPIRING! Bravo and thank you! We stand behind you and will march in honor of you April 5th! @booker.senate.gov
Hey @schumer.senate.gov and your Gang of Nine Dixiecrats. Go fuck yourselves
Now let’s see Diaper Don stand for 1 hour.
no. nope. no.
At least longest Senate floor filibuster now is for an uplifting positive cause to save government from its worst self,instead of Thurmond's appalling white racist rant to crush civil rights and enshrine the abuse of human rights. That it took this long is appalling, but big thanks to #SenBooker
This is what democracy looks like.
www.poeticous.com/r-lincoln-ha...
BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏 CORY BOOKER @booker.senate.gov is a LEGEND 💯💯💯
Ok Dems. Made history. now what?
I am in tears. Not something that happens often. Bravo @Booker.Senate.gov Thank you.
Cory Booker lays down his body to protect our democracy. This is what a TRUE PATRIOT looks like. Thank you.
Thank you Senator from the bottom of my heart♥️
He was amazing!
Longest filibuster? That amount of extended standing should be on ESPN!
Let's hope his example and the reaction he's received will inspire more elected Democrats to engage in similar efforts. Booker is big popular right now. That's a drug that politicians find hard to resist.
Awesome statesmanship
Fking @schumer.senate.gov. He really needs to step aside. Breaking the record is hardly the point. Plus, Booker said No and the dimwit still proceeded. I want Schumer gone. Time to retire and put a Leader in the Senate.
I dare a republican senator to attempt to do the same. Tell everyone how great things are going for their constituents.
Could you imagine if he ruined it all by doing a mic drop.......

Me, too. I'm so proud of him! #KeepTalkingCory 💙 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 💙
Fantastic
This is the LEADERSHIP we need!
GET THAT MAN A RED BULL
Just when the Democrats are desperate for a hero, Cory Booker emerges from the smoke of our smoldering democracy. Thank you Senator Cory Booker for being a true leader & warrior for democracy!
What if we just start referring to Booker as minority leader 👀🧐
And finally, New Jersey has something to be proud of.
Give up your leader seat chuck, Senator Booker deserves a sit down.
Bravo Booker 👍💙 !!!
Don’t sleep on the house today too! Great day for democracy. thehill.com/homenews/hou...
Even more important in that Thurmond’s speech was about forever keeping people like Sen. Booker from ever having a seat at the table!
Thank you Senator Booker. The most American and patriotic thing I’ve seen in a long time. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember the hateful Strom speech 1957 -I was in 7th grade
Thank you sir. Incredible energy. We need this more than ever. @booker.senate.gov New Jersey proud, sir.
Quiet Schumer we don’t need to hear any more from you.
Making good trouble
And the reason Strom Thurmond did that is disgusting.
Well, what next?
LOVE HIM!!! He's showing he absolutely cares for the American people.
Schumer sucks
"Rugged individualism didn't defeat the Nazis, or take us to the moon. We did that together."
Thank you Senator Booker for rising to the occasion and inspiring all of us! 💜🌟
The symbolism of a Black senator beating the filibuster record of a senator who fought against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 is profound.
www.poeticous.com/r-lincoln-ha...
Was that Shumer speaking? He can learn a lot from Booker.
@schumer.senate.gov yeah #ChuckTheTraitor is like his buddy #Krasnov. Neither has ever met a camera they didn’t like.
👊🏽🤘🏽
The second Schumer talked, my heart stopped, thinking he was going to end it early!’
📌
Cory Booker took down Strom Thurmond's record like the champ that Cory is!
It’s our responsibility to stand up too
That the stamina of a real president 👏
He is a hero 👍❤️
We love you Sen Booker! 💖
That dude KICKS ASS!
Love the timing on that small howl. Right on cue
He deserves respect for it. I wish he did it during the CR but hopefully we have kore of this. It’s one less day Trump can cause damage.
Wow, and congratulations Senator Booker! Well done, sir!
Please continue to relay this this monumental selfless patriotic democratic filibuster movement started by Cory! Be Loud and Heard! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedems25.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social💪🏻🇺🇸💙
Cory Booker supported a genocide.
Strom Thurmond’s record 24 hour filibuster AGAINST The Civil Rights Act of 1957 has just been broken by a black man named Cory Booker. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌
So inspiring 👏
It’s kind of sad Strom Thurmond’s racist record stood for almost 70 years.
Great patriotic act, fk Chuck schumer
Very moving. Very sad that this even needs to be done. Who are we? We are finding out
I watched on C-SPAN2. It was a wonderful historic moment.
OK. Now do something that *actually* stops the 🍊💩🤡 from turning the USA into a fascist state.
Bringing hope back! Well done Mr Booker!
I hope everyone cheering Cory Booker on turns out this Saturday / April 5th. State capitols and more. Near DC? Join us at noon at the Washington Monument.
Proud of my Senator!
Yes, we are PROUD!
@fetterman.senate.gov you should have stayed blue.
It’s too bad you couldn’t have been as brave, as smart, as humble, as daring, etc, etc Schumer.
