Democratic senator Cory Booker smashed a racist’s record with a 25-hour filibuster to protest against the Trump regime’s lawlessness – 17 votes of confidence

I just hosted a focus group of Democratic voters who are angry with Dem leadership in DC.
What @CoryBooker is doing right now on the Senate floor is exactly what they want to hear.
Democrats would be smart to get a transcript and copy it word-for-word.pic.twitter.com/iWc80pZxBy

Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their stories—and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone.
A masterclass in capturing attention.
Well done.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

He gave everything he had to remind this country what democracy sounds like.

What a moment. Can’t imagine he is still speaking coherently after 24 hours. Gosh, Trump can’t speak sense for more than 30 seconds!

Absolute legend. Been watching this historic speech for a few hours now, and Cory is absolutely killing it!

Fox News losing it over Booker’s speech is proof that it worked. He reached people they’ve kept in the dark. That’s what they’re afraid of and why this moment matters.

We were all thinking it.

But we’ll let Cory Booker have the last, very serious word.
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter…
