No MSM is covering it as far as I can tell (at least not when I open my news apps). Thank you for doing so.

Trump pauses it all, undermines women, students, and workers, sends a glitchy maggot to do his bidding, deports humans, does not want people educated, walks scott-free from his crimes, blocks public health, holds the U.S hostage... These are not "badass decisions", these are ass bad decisions.

@booker.senate.gov I didn't realize what a great historian he is! He's educating us and I'm here for it. Good trouble 💙 Thank you Senator.

Thanks @booker.senate.gov for doing something to stop the MAGA GOP from slow-rolling us into fascism. Resist. Obstruct. IMPEACH.

Maybe it won't make a difference, but Cory Booker has risen a lot in my estimation for making the attempt when so many of is colleagues are just sitting there.

Beware! The cruel and corrupt Republicans in Congress are attempting to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and vile! They must be stopped!

👍👍Booker!!! We've reached a point in our Democratic Republic. where we absolutely need younger, progressive Democrats who aren't AFRAID TO PUSH BACK. I don't care how long /successful a rep as been thus far...if you don't have the courage to make noise ... LEAVE. Let a younger fighter take over.

As someone from the UK i don't know what to say. Filibusters FASCINATE me. My favourites so far are (obviously) this one, Thurmond for simple reasons but Alphonse D'Amato is top....if only because he read the phone book!

I remember this! Cory is fielding relevant questions after question, now in hour 18! No time for a stinking phone book when the nation is on the verge of fascism!

The record for the longest individual speech goes to South Carolina's Strom Thurmond, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Go Mr. Booker, GO!!! It's time to topple that ignoble record set in 1957 in the name of hate with one set in the name of LOVE! ✊🇺🇸

Where are the other senators to help keep the line of questioning going? Or take on their stance representing their constituents? When is it their turn? Push back!!
