Corey Booker just raised the bar, concluding with a call for “good trouble.” Now his fellow Dems need to clear it—and raise it higher.

Indeed. But the filibuster is still an anti-democratic piece of shit that Democrats must eliminate the minute they regain the Senate majority.

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 loved Booker's speech... BUT @democrats.senate.gov have to stop giving the GOP everything via unanimous consent! UC was given for the debate on Whitaker right after Booker finished. UC was given a few times when Thune filed Cloture on OZ at the end of the night.

I saw that on the livestream before it cut off. It felt like seconds after Senator Booker yielded the floor, they gave unanimous consent to appoint the NATO ambassador. It's a gut punch that stuck with me. I let my guard down during that speech because I felt heard, and then they hit me again.

Then after the Whitaker vote (Cloture, not confirmation) unanimous consent was used by/given to Thune multiple times to move Dr. Oz's (WTAF?!) nomination for MedCare/Caid director
