Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

If you are not watching what is happening on the senate floor You are missing history in the making. Cory Booker and other senators are alive and fired up. They should be afraid... They know who they are... and they should be very afraid.

It's a good start. However, are we just supposed to forget how totally on board he was with genocide, and putting Israel's interests before those of the US?

Did someone ask you to forget? No? And the senators you do agree with, why haven't they done this? There's no clear bright line between debate and divisiveness, but you have vaulted over it.

I’m a little frustrated that there’s not more coordinated messaging by Dems about this. Why did this start in the evening? If started during day, other Dem Senators and Reps could be standing outside talking to reporters and on news shows explaining WHY he is doing this

He plans speak longer than Thurmond did - which was 25 hours 10 minutes, so he'll be doing it during the daytime too

Apparently it's not actually legal to start a filibuster until business is done for the day. They start in the evening by default, but continue as long as they can into daylight hours. It appears at least some of the Senate Minority have arranged a schedule of senators to give him breathers.
